—————— ‘‘Twas the night before Christmas when all thru the thirsty 40, not a whiff of credible news, what happened to that gal port o potty? The BDE was really hung by the firepit with flare. Surlies guzzling whisky/whiskey waiting for Urban to show up there.  The 9.95’ers were restless spewing their usual nonsense and dread while visions of desperate subscribers twerked in their heads. Nightcrew rocking the hope while the Daycrew rocking the clap, Eltife’s already gathered t

A Christmas Tale worth telling!

With 10 days to go until our bowl game, I'm starting to think that Tom Herman will be coaching the Longhorns for said bowl game. 

FWIW---Nick Saban was never coming here.  Ever.  Was the most insanely over-adopted lie in Texas next to Qanon.  Urban apparently did have a modicum of interest in coaching here.  It could still work out in early January.  But starting to look like we may have fucked it up.  But it's all conjecture at this point, I don't even really work here.  /kramer

That’s completely false on Saban. If Mack would’ve been on board he would be our coach right now.

You are wrong about Saban, that deal was close.

Lmao. 34 B's don't really qualify for BTE...but I had to pick something realistic for me. But I have the Big Energy damnit. I'm Urban or bust. 

They may be 34 B's but I'll be damned if you don't swing them around like they're DD's. Urban or bust!

What's the latest from the deer stand? Any news we can use?

Didn’t get good news yesterday. From a Houston guy that helped lead the charge for Herman. He hasn’t been involved in this round though. Somebody told him something that has made him pessimistic about the UM stuff. 
 

I don’t know how things are working right now. Could be the case that if you aren’t directly involved at this point then good information simply isn’t available. I get the impression that Dallas is driving the bus this time so this guy may not be as privy to what’s actually going on, but I didn’t get warm and fuzzy UM feelings from him.

So, just for the record, this source wasn't related to the good news you received a few weeks ago, right?

Why would Dallas BMDs have more stroke than Houston's?

Houston guys drove the Herman bus. Dallas guys drove the Saban and then Steve Patterson bus which got us Charlie. Obv thats oversimplified but its generally true.

Tongue in cheek.

I'm just surprised Herman hasn't been canned yet. But, UM or bust I guess.

If they really have something with urban and urban really doesn't want any distractions with osu, firing herman now would just ramp all the speculation back up again. 

That's what I keep telling myself,  anyway.

I don't remember Dallas guys driving Patterson but I guess its possible.... the Dallas guys absolutely did not drive Charlie.  that had nothing to do with BMD donor base.

If the Dallas BMDs got Patterson hired it, in turn, indirectly resulted in Charlie.

But, let's say we've got an agreement in principle with UM that we're keeping on the down low. Professional courtesy dictates that we fire Herman to give him time to find another gig. Ash could still be the interim HC.

What am I missing here?

Professional courtesy has no role in deals of this size and magnitude. 

He's under contract. He can leave to find another gig (breaches contract) or he is let go when a deal is ready to surface (we pay him per the terms of the agreement).

On board, or just ignored.

Either way, he was coming until Mack's pack scuttled the deal.

But none of that has anything to to do with the fact that Urban Meyer will be coaching the Texas Longhorns in 2021.

If you paid me $15M to go away, I'd go fishing for a year, or maybe the rest of my life.

Kind of a dick move though, no? Not a good look to fire him after winning a bowl game.

Optics and such

He's ruined that for himself with past occurrence's. It's been stated he's not well liked by anybody nor does he have anybody left that gives a shit if he's fired. He dug his own grave per say.

No. He's not being fired for one game and shouldn't be kept for winning one meaningless bowl game in another shitty, underperforming year (assuming we actually do win).

And re: the optics, fuck 'em. And fuck anyone who doesn't like it.

optics =“we’re Texas”. That’s the bs we need to get away from. You want to win, we need to get in the game and not pussyfoot around and worry about optics. Fuck that shit. You think Bama worries about optics? Clemson has a coach out talking shit. You need to lose  this We’re Texas and optics crap.

I get that.

Just trying to figure out why he hasn't been fired already. The timing on this transition is odd, assuming it's happening.

He will walk with $15 mil.  That’s all the professional courtesy he needs or will get.

I'm not saying it makes a lot of sense but if you have 1 of 3 people on the planet that can almost immediately make your program relevant again you do what he wants and you make yourself feel ok about it by giving herman a 15 million dollar parachute. 

I'm to the point now where urban is a done deal or herman is back. No way we wouldn't be hearing leaks from agents of other coaches either looking for a raise or to aid in getting a better deal from a new employer. 

And since if have BDE that means it's happening!

I wanted him gone a long time ago, but I don't really think the timing is odd. People a week or two ago were saying it would be odd if we fired him mid-season. What's a little unusual is firing him after a "winning" season, but it's certainly not unheard of, esp when the total body of work is so mediocre (and horrific against ou sucks, TCU, the Turtles, etc).

I believe it’s because we have been pretty covid free all things considered. The season is lost, no sense deviating from the plan. The kids are following him, protocols are in place.  No sense jacking around with safety. Maybe cdc is letting it play out while UM assesses things. 

Plus we had 18-19 kids Sign last week. We had to keep the integrity of the class in place.
