I mean he is not the head coach at Ohio State. How would becoming a head coach someplace else, a place that rarely ever plays Ohio State, be counter to his love for Ohio State?

Because he would for sure take at least one person from their staff, if not more and end their recruiting run in Texas. Urban to Texas is bad for Ohio St.

If we beat Kansas St, and we should beat them after we sweat out a 3 point victory after out gaining them 2:1 in yards, we still technically have the Kansas game. I talked to someone I trust in the AD office who told me the Kansas game will be played assuming no Covid issues. That makes me wonder about the timing now if we win tomorrow.

If it really has to come down to these last two games, after everything that has already happened this year, then we deserve eternal mediocrity.

Yeah, I have a pretty good reason to believe those accounts have contacts on both the Texas BMD and sports agency sides. @derpyhorndog found this regarding Urban's agent awhile ago, but maybe someone has other info? Agents and BMDs really seem like the most likely sources of the confidence and both RGL and @reneg_2 have been on similar timelines in their confidence, so they could have the same or similar sources.

 

Wanted to correct this find by @derpyhorndog. It seems like this is a scam. Lots of people on twitter claiming that this "agent" is listing celebrities as his client when they actually aren't.  https://twitter.com/search?q=Sharron Elkabas&src=recent_search_click&f=live 

Anyone know who Urban's agent is?

I just assumed the Kansas game would not be played. Apparently because of the LHN everyone’s expectation is for sure it’s on. Texas and Kansas are operating under that assumption. That means if we win tomorrow, Herman is the coach for at least another week unless we do something totally outside of our MO and fire a coach after a win.

Good Morning Horns247!!

— A push by Texas big-money donors to lure three-time national championship coach Urban Meyer out of the television studio at FOX and back into coaching continues, a source close to the situation told Horns247.

Meyer told intermediaries for UT on Monday if he was pressed for an answer about wanting to coach again, the answer would be no, the source said.

So they’ve given Meyer more time and perhaps an offer they hope he won’t refuse.

Of course, Texas currently has a coach in Tom Herman, who has been told by athletic director Chris Del Conte he'll be evaluated at the end of the season.

The attempt to lure Meyer, who has received interest from a couple NFL teams, is a high-stakes gamble by UT's big-money donors, who would be the ones financing the nearly $25 million buyout of Herman and his coaching staff. If it fails, and the buyout money evaporates, with the athletic department already facing a $53 million shortfall for the 2020-21 school year, could Texas retain Herman as the head coach? Time will tell.

In other college coaching news, if Michigan lets go of Jim Harbaugh as football coach, Iowa State's Matt Campbell would be a leading candidate and would be interested, industry sources said.

— Anyone thinking Texas’ last game of the regular season at Kansas might not be played should think again.

A source close to the situation told Horns247 that game is worth $3.5 million in television revenue and will be played.

— I’m told San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, a former Longhorn walk-on receiver after transferring from Duke, isn’t interested in coaching college football. 

But Shanahan has strongly recommended his defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as a head-coaching candidate to anyone who will listen.

Saleh is being pushed by 49ers’ defensive back Richard Sherman as a candidate to coach the Detroit Lions, who just fired Matt Patricia as their head coach.

— With Texas redshirt junior left tackle Samuel Cosmi opting out of the last two games, the Longhorns have prepared for Saturday’s game at Kansas State with a new-look offensive line.

Christian Jones has moved from right tackle to left tackle. Derek Kerstetter has moved from center to right tackle, and freshman Jake Majors has taken over at center.

Junior Angilau continues to start at left guard, while Denzel Okafor continues to start at right guard.

Angilau has started every game this season despite playing with a severe case of patellar tendinitis in his left knee.

— While team captains - left tackle Samuel Cosmi and safety Caden Sterns - announced this week they are opting out of Texas' final two games of the season to prepare for the NFL Draft, junior captain outside linebacker Joseph Ossai continues to play for the Longhorns.

The 6-foot-4, 253-pound Ossai could end up as Texas’ highest draft pick if he declares for the 2021 NFL Draft.

Ossai is second on the team in tackles with 52, including a Big 12-leading 14 tackles for loss. Ossai also has four sacks, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

worst posible choice in history:

This is actually a really easy decision IMO. I think Garrett might actually be underrated nowadays because Cowboys fans are stupid and unrealistic. Look at what's happened to the team this year. I know some of it is Dak being out, but they suck at basically every aspect of football.  They don't have the talent that the fans think they have/had. And he's doing good things with Daniel Jones this year too.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Garrett ends up with another HC job in the NFL and is successful. The Cowboys organization is garbage. Jeff Fisher is also garbage.

It is happening. I told you so,, weeks ago. It's been happening since 10/10, after #MensaTom completely fucked up the end-game twice in a row and lost to TCU and 0U back to back. Del Conte talked to Urban and got the high sign back then. The next step was waiting for #MensaTom to eliminate himself from the CCG, and that happened last week. There's nothing left to wait for except the lawyers to finish scribbling, and the announcements of coach fired, coach hired. Kick back, stir a big spoonful of mayo into your bulleit, set a platter of McRibs next to your speech-to-text mic and enjoy the ride.

Per my source the BMD wheels were already turning even before the ou sucks loss.

I’m not saying he won’t take the job. But I’m saying it’s 95 percent to me that he won’t take it. There are false reports out there that he reached out about a What-if staff.

I’m not saying there’s a zero percent chance, but I am saying I think all of this is ridiculous and I know there’s a lot of false reporting out there. If urban entertains it it’s only to take a dig at his wannabe only to pass it up and get the last laugh. One thing I also know that no one is talking about. Urban and Mack are VERY close friends. Not sure if that’s public or not but they are and they talk very frequently. It’s common knowledge that the Texas boosters are insane and run the asylum.
