This makes more sense than looking at AUS/CMH for the most part. If they want to sneak, this is one of many, many ways.

 if we wanted to let our dicks hang, we should've hired Saban for DC.

F it...go ahead and also hire Dabo as OC. They can take turns playing head coach on a round robin basis.

people saying he doesn't need the money?  Anyone saying he doesn't need money doesn't understand money.

 

I bet he's worth $10M now and has a comfy gig making $300-500K at Fox, pure speculation.  Add $50M to that after tax and walking around money, he's adding at least $15M to his net worth after taxes and and everything.  There's a big difference between $10M and $25M when you're talking about easy street.  $10M yields $600,000 in passive income at a historical rate of 6% return in the market.  $25M returns $1.5M.  If they are living off $2M a year while at Texas they could retire with passive income close to that amount.  That's a huge step up.  $600K is nothing to sneeze at but you aren't even close to FUPM wealth status.  $25M gets you close, plus if he does well, he's wheels are greased for years to come making cash in deals.  The man actually needs a graceful exit from a program that has wheelers/dealers and this could be it. 

His net worth currently shows at $35M and his current salary at Fox is apparently over $7M/year.

Y'all should really give this request a little attention. Just some friendly advice.

I didn't find anything around 11:45, but I did notice a couple interesting things. 

 

The plane we were tracking yesterday that went from Tyler to Columbus returned to Austin this morning instead of Tyler. Maybe it's nothing, or maybe it was carrying 3 national title rings back with it. You never know...

I'm not shocked about his net worth, I don't recall what he made in FLA and was just spitballing about tOSU.  I am quite surprised about his Fox salary that's pretty damn rich.  no wonder Texas is having to up to $12M.

As to $35M net worth, okay now he gets to go from pretty close to FUPM wealth to actual FUPM wealth with the Texas gig which means after Texas, the private jet is his and it ain't a Cessna.  principles still apply.  frankly they rarely stop applying.  the only trick is to figure out when to force yourself out of the race and for type A's that really doesn't happen.  Shit I'm a two-bit corporate lawyer and small time wheeler-dealer and I know I'll work in some capacity until I'm completely unable.  I can't imagine how driven that guy is.

Source said that CDC is the type that wants to make a splash hire but said that he also is the type who would want the hire to be ‘his hire’. In the case of Urban, the play is just too big to say no too, but source seemed to indicate that it’s not necessarily his style to look for someone who wouldn’t be CDC’s guy. In other words, not sure you get a ton of credit as an AD for throwing a bazillion dollars at one of the best coaches of this generation.

Agree with this, say what you want about Beck as an OC, but Beck as a QB coach was a witch. Sam's completion percentage was over 65% last year I believe. 

Counterpoint: Speaks to the ability of CJ and LJH, with their insane catch radiuses, and Duvernay, who’s dropped like one pass ever.

[Huckleberry 32694]

I absolutely hope we start paying recruits and players regardless of who's coaching. When the rule makers refuse to enforce the rules then there are no rules. We accomplish nothing with our current strategy.

I've said it numerous times over the years. There are only 2 logical strategies when your competitors are cheating like crazy and never experiencing appropriate consequences. Either gather and report evidence consistently or cheat with them. We do neither, but rather think acting holier than thou while losing makes us better than they are. It doesn't. The great evil we are are making a stand against is adults getting paid money in return for services rendered. 

Way to fucking go.

yeah, it's just math.  but the appeal of next level wealth whatever it is drives most of us to want it.  we 37 steps below his wealth can't understand why he'd want the next level, but it's the same calculus we have for wanting our next level.  He's not at FUPM wealth at $35M, he's close.  If I was close to FUPM wealth at 56 and I loved doing my craft, I would absolutely want to trade in a booster cessna for my own.

Sam's completion %-age was 65,2% in 2019 (3rd in the Big 12) and 64,7% in 2018 (4th). But people would rather believe that he just magically decided to suck this year, and it has nothing to do with Collin Johnson and Devin Duvernay being replaced by non-factors like Schooler and Washington, Tariq Black constantly fumbling and dropping anything thrown his way, and an undersized Joshua Moore playing out of position. Nor does it have anything to do with Hand getting exposed as a horrible O-line coach who couldn't coach the unit to execute Yurcich's run game and who moved our best RT to center because he didn't have a plan for life after Shack. And let's not forget Herman's complete lack of offensive game-planning forcing him to constantly play hero ball and get beaten to hell with no margin for error to save games late, or the total lack of RB depth after Robinson and Rojo because Ingram can't secure the damn ball.

No, let's handwave that all away and pretend that things will all be better once Sam is gone 🙄
