I just can't believe that Meyer wouldn't know early on if he really wants to get back in.  If it isn't a quick "yes,as long as I get what I need." when we call then he isn't ready.  I'm sure he knows he can't gut the tOSU staff but could take a couple.  he would know if certain guys would be on board pretty fast.  

It just makes no sense to drag this to the very end with CDC because he doesn't know if he wants to "return to the grind" yet.  If he is getting what he wants from a AD support/organization control standpoint it should already be done, minus the bits the lawyers work through.

 

I really only think the hold up is if he can pull the assistants he wants.  I would imagine he'd have an answer to that by now as well

For those unaware, Mullen is a legit coach in play. He was with Urban at Utah and Florida I think.

[BornAndRaised 12223]

Has anyone considered that the fact the BMD's are straight backing the UT admin in this, is them showing that it wasn't like when Mack was around? If he's gonna go around telling people its a shit show run by the money here, thats one way to calm those concerns. Also I'd be fine with Mullen as HC and then bringing in someone like Muschamp as DC.

yep think this is a coordinated delay until after KSU... keeps heat off because once herman is fired it get turned up 100%

It is also important to note that the courting of Meyer is being handled by Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte and his staff, with the full support and oversight of Texas president Jay Hartzell and Texas board of regents chairman Kevin Eltife. No big money donors are directly in contact with Meyer, instead they are backing the efforts of Del Conte, Hartzell and Eltife.

This sounds like a coherent plan, but we are Texas. And we know how such plans go.

I don't think its an unreasonable position to believe that Urban is having second thoughts or even agonizing over the decision.  As much as he might love and miss coaching - I'm sure he's also loving being semi-retired and doing whatever the fuck he wants whenever the fuck he wants.  He's got to decide if the grind is worth it.  Though 12 million a year you would think would make that decision a little easier.

I find it pretty funny that we basically just have a giant pile of money hanging over the heads of several college fan bases that's scaring the shit out of them.

As Bobby Axelrod once said, "What's the point of f*ck you money if you can't say f*ck you?"

 

[Beantown Express 2.0 6554]

So if Urban can't say "yes or no" since there isn't really a job opening at this time I am pretty sure there is a easy way to fix that.  I still don't see the need to keep Herman on at this point.  There is a reason the term interim coach was created.  Let's use it and let the chips fall where they may.

Mullen/Boom.  I think Florida won't let that happen and it is probably Mullen's agent.  could be floated to keep everyone from going ballistic if Meyer doesn't happen(I still think he happens).

[utexas8 1433]

What I found particularly interesting in that article you posted is that Meyer himself was telling those around him he wasn’t taking the tOSU job. That was encouraging too.

The only thing different is it was leaked a week prior to being official that it was a done deal by tOSU. I think 11warriors. Texas on the other hand is saying they don’t know. Difference is we have a head coach who isn’t fired and they had an interim head coach at the time.

I hope so - I just wasn't sure that he'd have any interest in leaving Florida right now.

Pairing Mullen with a top DC would be pretty fucking great.  Not Urban Meyer great, but a decent consolation prize.

I'm going to go with Urban has been told by the wife to really, really thing about it. Don't make a quick decision and he's really, really thinking about.

And then she's going to tell him to go do it because she can't take anymore of his moping around the house every week talking about how all these other coaches suck.

The only problem is that he would be moving her away from their kids and grandkids.  That’s important to some women.

This kind of aggie trolling is as old as BBS forums. The recipe has been the same since I started posting and reading in 1997. 

Step 1: Sign up and drop in a somewhat random post in the middle of a discussion like you've been there the whole time.

Step 2: Wait to see if anyone notices. Nope? Then start firing the fuck away.

Step 3: Tell everyone how big of a UT fan you are, going back x-decades, while getting basic shit wrong in the process.

Step 4: Start telling us what we want won't happen and start making idiotic negative comparisons to the shithole in BCS as though anyone will buy it. 

Step 5: Start telling us how bad Texas is, getting more and more overt in the process. 

Step 6: Banned.

Also, there will certainly be a lack of actual wit or proper spelling and grammar in the posts. 

I'm always at a loss at how these rubes can simultaneously think that anything they're doing is productive or subversive or non-obvious, and also how fresh and new what they're doing is on the board. 

Perfect. I'll add there is often an optional step between 5 and 6 where the mask is ripped on Scooby Doo style and on their way to their banning they post some variation of:

Whether it's Brian Kelly or Dan Mullen it doesn't matter. There's no reason for a coach that has a top tier program rolling to switch jobs - even for Texas. Any "interest" is just to negotiate a raise.

I'm going under the assumption that Urban was contacted(agents/booster) months ago(after tech, TCU, OU) that this thing with Herman is ending.

[CfRhTxStBobcats 600]

Urban should be able to pull at least 1 or 2 top assistants from ohio state. With Urbans track record of short stints, someone could take over the reigns fairly soon. Hopefully no sooner than 7 or 8 years. Not sure how old Day is, but unless he goes to the nfl he could be there for many years.

They have one daughter that lives in Florida.  The expectation is that he would be bringing his Son-in-law as QB/OC and presumably his daughter would come along with.  His son is in college and would probably join his staff at Texas when he's done playing.

It may very well be he wants to do it but he isn't going to do it without his guys so he is trying to make that happen. That's my guess if we are awaiting a decision.

There is no way Burton would report Urban agreeing to the job prior to Herman's firing.  Maybe he's said yes or maybe he's still thinking about it.  The one thing to take from Burton's post is that Texas has not been told no yet as of this morning.

There isn't a clearer path to the CFP than in Austin. The Big 12 sucks, the recruiting advantages are built-in, etc. The path to the CFP for someone at UF vs UT is night and day. Nevermind the rest of things that can be compared - a robot like Mullen could convince himself on that alone that it's worth it. That said, sure, it's probably his agent.

I'm sure there was a timeframe established on making the decision. If official offer went out on Monday, then I'm thinking he was given a week to accept or decline. Part of the week period would include his research on who would join him to see if he can assemble a coaching staff to succeed. It makes no sense for Texas and Urban to drag this out past Sunday. Texas needs to move quickly to have any chance of saving this recruiting class and firing Herman.

I think a Yes verbal given which jives back to the optimism on Tuesday night. He wants to coach at Texas but it all hinges on who wants to join him. As everyone has been saying, it all points to a Sunday (or hopefully Saturday after the game) announcement.

Urban can absolutely tell UT admin yes or no. It just can't be made public until Urban's fired. Right or wrong, UT seems to be waiting to hear Meyer's response before firing Herman, not the other way around.

If it's Mullen, I would assume we'd have to wait until after he lost in the SEC championship game.  If he wins, they will be in the playoff.

correct.  no "yes or no".  that is all he can report without causing a shitstorm and he can report that without knowing anything. I understand these guys have contacts and do get info but the reality is that they are going to hear basically the same time everyone hears.

In my opinion Urban has already made up his mind.

[vtaenz 601]

Sounds like regardless of what anyone says today, we aren't hearing anything credible until tomorrow after our game.

As far as coaches in general, is Texas completely painted into a corner here with Meyer?
I've only heard that BMD's raised money to buyout Herman for Meyer. What happens if we cannot get Meyer? Are the funds for the buyout no longer there to rid ourselves of Herman? I've only heard that Herman is out, but it seems like he's out with Meyer coming on board; what happens if Meyer isn't on board? Where are the funds for the buyout coming from or are they still there regardless?

Another thought, if Ohio State doesn't have a good enough resume and Cinncy can jump them for a spot in the playoffs, then it's a lot easier to try to pull coaches from tOSU before a bowl game rather than a playoff run. Just spitballing here.

More Burton

According to a high-ranking University of Texas official, the Longhorns continue to wait for a response from three-time national champion Urban Meyer about the possibility of becoming the next Texas football coach.

Rumors have run rampant, whether it is the potential dollar amount of a contract or who Meyer has met with from Texas, yet the coach has not given a final response to Texas brass as of Friday at 10:30 am.

In the discussions, Meyer has made clear to Texas that money will not be the ultimate deciding factor. Rather, it is primarily about the hard-charging Meyer deciding if he wants to “return to the grind” that made him so successful on the sidelines.

It is also important to note that the courting of Meyer is being handled by Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte and his staff, with the full support and oversight of Texas president Jay Hartzell and Texas board of regents chairman Kevin Eltife. No big money donors are directly in contact with Meyer, instead they are backing the efforts of Del Conte, Hartzell and Eltife.

As for an expected timeline for a response from Meyer, there is some hope it would come not later than Sunday but even that is not a definitive deadline, as the Horns have their sights on Meyer. Meyer will be given the time he needs to make a decision.

The quotes about who is handling the search ("no BMDs in contact") just make me believe even more that this is all being fed by CDC however CDC wants info to get out there. In other words, meaningless. Burton isn't going to post a yes until it's ready to be announced. Not sure why CDC would want the rumors to drag on if we already have a final no.
