Urban Meyer or bust

When folks have been asking us about what’s going on with Tom Herman’s job security, I’ve said just let things play out.

That’s because nothing is going to happen before Texas’ Alamo Bowl matchup with Colorado on Dec. 29. After the college football bowl season has concluded, there will be a meeting of the minds involving athletic director Chris Del Conte, UT president Jay Hartzell and regents chairman Kevin Eltife about a final evaluation of the football program’s direction.

It’s at that point either things will get bonkers in terms of a search for a new coach or there will be silence, meaning Herman simply continues as coach in 2021.

Del Conte put out a vague statement supporting Herman right before signing day. When Horns247 asked Del Conte if the statement meant Herman was returning in 2021, Del Conte said, “Yes.”

But Eltife and Hartzell, who strongly supported gauging the interest of three-time national championship coach Urban Meyer beginning back in October, have made it clear since then they want to finish exploring their options before standing pat, sources told Horns247.

Earlier this month, UT’s flirtation with Meyer fizzled when Meyer told UT officials he wasn’t likely to return to college football coaching in 2021 due to health concerns and a changed landscape (i.e. the NCAA transfer portal and the likelihood of a one-time transfer rule).

Sources told Horns247 Meyer has expressed at least a passing interest in the possibility of coaching in the NFL, where there is more of an off-season and no transfer portal.

There has been no indication at this point Meyer would re-consider his stance on being a college head coach if nothing materializes for him in the NFL, sources told Horns247.

We’ve reported Texas spent time researching several coaches while also having conversations with Meyer, including Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, Iowa State coach Matt Campbell, Penn State coach James Franklin and Oregon coach Mario Cristobal.

A high-ranking university source told Horns247 nothing will happen until the end of the college bowl season, when any coaches Texas might have an interest in would be more willing to talk.

There has been some buzz about Sarkisian and Texas, but the high-ranking university source said Sarkisian isn’t in any kind of pole position at this point.

Buckle up … and Merry Christmas!!

Yeah, I really can't tell if OP is being sarcastic or genuine here. Do they really think being a coach at Bama, under Saban of all people, is stress-free?

and you would equate that to being a head coach anywhere?

Yea. Right when I saw his post I figured there would be doom and gloom about. He could easily be trolling though. He loves to fuck with the 9.95ers. 

[Pope Joan 68]

My personal take is this: I have a BIL who is a BMD of 30 years or so with TCU. That's mostly academic, Texas is his sports love. He was at both the Tech game and the TCU game, and after the latter he and some other TCU guys were schmoozing with UT BMDs, and it came up that enough was more than enough, and they were going for Urban, and that nothing Urban demanded would be denied. Following 0U, he heard the pursuit of Urban was headed into full blast mode. Sounded like some were ready to go write Urban a check on the spot and come home and fire #MensaTom immediately. I think that probably matches several others' information, as well.

Since then, I have looked at the slogging process as having been essentially successful, and with Urban calling all the shots, including timing. 

I was - and am - okay with Urban not being worried about "early" signing recruits, as the current NCAA climate appears to allow post LOI transfers of HS players coming in and any-class transfers playing immediately. Urban doesn't come across as arrogant, just self-assured, and I think he's probably 100% correct that he could take over in January and have more players wanting to join him than we have schollies for.

Is he still on the way here? I won't believe he's not until it's actually and officially announced by Urban and/or Chris. Doesn't mean it's not scary, but I don't see it as being outside the process going back to the early season, when we all saw that #MensaTom was still micro-managing, making horrible in-game decisions, and being his own special kind of half-drunk (explains a lot) dipshit.

Bottom line: Ain't givin' up yet.
