Urban Meyer or bust

[immamac 44,343]

Should we change the motto to urban or bust? 

[Sir Ulrich 5,337]

Everybody knows this will be Urbs last coaching job wherever he ends up so his "no" was more of a "not right now " because its in his best interest to see what all jobs come open on any level just in case. Once that all is more clear on Monday when NFL jobs and maybe even ND is open then he will pick the job he wants to retire in. Like CTJ and others have said this makes way to much sense to not happen unless a unforeseen job comes open.

Okay, what are the hours for day vs night shifts? We need consensus on this.

What about swing-shifters like me? Am I forced to choose sides?

5 PM is the meridian.  That's 5 PM PST ladies.

Second to last imo.  5 years and then somewhere for the sunset.

College offense is all about simplicity, repetition, speed, and leverage of the opposing defense before the snap.

Same for Patterson's defense. I recall reading that he had a two day install for his defense and then they repped the hell out of it. The goal was to simplify each player's responsibilities so they could just play.

Didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me. Despite a huge disadvantage in recruiting, his defenses play fast.

My favorite thing about you as a poster is despite being totally uninformed and clearly not connected to anyone at Texas, you are supremely confident in your takes. That takes a special kind of poster to match that level of confidence with being that uninformed.

Alamo bowl is on ESPNU and can we all agree that Mike Golic is a fucking terrible color guy?

The worst. I have Xfinity so no LHN ended up putting the game on mute. The play by play guy was even worse, he called multiple players the wrong name throughout the game and even mistook Thompson for Ehlinger and my favorite was Bijan Robinson for Josh Moore

The topic of sources was just brought up to me because I just had a college friend text our close group of friends saying Herman is coming back. My buddy is a rabid fan and he has deep ties to the school through his grandfather who was deeply generous to UT. He is involved in some business deals with a current BoR member and they have known each other for a long time. Thats his source when he says Herman is coming back. Sounds pretty legit right?

Here's the problem. Most of the time BoR members are basically in the dark about this stuff until right before something takes place and they need to execute on a decision. Usually there is one key board member who is also a donor or in the donor group. If that was the source then I'd raise my eyebrows but its not at all. 

I can remember talking to a friend about Charlie Strong while he sat on the board. I was shocked at how out of the loop he was. This was right before the Kansas game and he basically said to a group of us that we need to just cool our jets because the board felt like it was too soon to get rid of him. Little did he know, he was speaking directly to a donor that had put a lot of ground work into bringing Herman over, and that donor was working directly with the person who has the ability to both fire Strong and hire Herman. When the regent walked away, I looked at the donor and he looked back at me with a face saying "keep your mouth shut." 

There are so many people at UT that you would logically think would be in the loop, but in my experience its usually a small handful of folks that really know whats going on and are doing the actual work. I happen to be on a text thread with a donor that I know is helping steer the bus right now. While I havent heard from him since December 5th, I have heard that there isnt a new thread and that things are silent for a reason. If UM told us "no" and it meant anything, there would be a big enough shift that Id bet a lot of money Id hear about it. The fact that hasnt happened along with a lot of other factors tells me to just sit tight and that UM is still very much the plan.

Besides the resident troll in this thread, I’ve been the biggest wet blanket on Urban coming here solely because of what I’ve been told, but I also just don’t understand how he goes from very interested and engaged to not wanting to come. It doesn’t make sense to me either. Deep down I’m just hoping that Meyer has been putting out the no’s like he did for the Florida and OSU jobs. In summary, I’m still on the Urban train anyway.

I’ve been down on our chances because the Sunday after Kansas State game he was basically, “Thanks. No thanks.” Taking that at face value maybe is wrong but what else are you supposed to do? It sure sounds like we are going to really force him to say no.

I honestly think it was a no for now because he wants to explore his NFL options.  If those fall through, he'll say yes.

Fatterson is masterful about taking 3-star safeties and making 'em linebackers

My thinking at this point is we are waiting for both ND and OSU to be eliminated (hopefully tomorrow) then we turn up the heat on BK. Things start progressing and we tell UM, “look there are probably 3 CFB jobs you will ever take and this one won’t be available for years because we have someone lined up. If you want to coach at this level again, this is your last chance and we are giving you absolutely everything you have ever asked for. If not here and now, it’s never...are you sure?” Then we wait...

He has Herman figured out to an almost scary level. He has very little respect for Herman as a coach. 

[Caddox 952]

Patterson will continue on with TCU in a consultant or even administrative role. He's going to have a hand in who they hire next, and hes already told people he thinks Hugh Freeze is a great coach. I would really rather not see Freeze end up there.

Fat Pat is only 60. Would figure outside of a cardiac event he has 7-10 years left at a  minimum (and he will decide when he leaves that place) so not sure on that timeline something like Freeze becoming the TCU coach is really an issue.

Dont know how much longer he will do it but Id guess its more 3-5. Hes a guy that isnt going to like this NIL stuff at all. I think hes looking for one more good up cycle then hes out.

Night crew is the equivalent of a great O-line. We do the work, we get dirty, and we push things forward while never losing sight of the ultimate goal. Day crew is like the flighty ego-centric QB who throws picks routinely and wants to give up in the 2nd quarter but somehow stumbles around and completes the game-winning TD because the O-line dominated and gave him enough time to eyeball a pass into the right place.

The formal announcement of Urban to Texas will be during the day shift, who of course will claim all the credit.

We will know the deal was completed the night before.

Track records matter in things like this. I think it’s entirely possible he’s a yes but saying no - it’s what he’s done before. The “or bust” part for me is an unwillingness to hope for success with any coach other than UM.  Life’s too short to chase fools folly with another name.  Give me UM or I’ll take a wait and prove it to me approach. 

It's always a no until it becomes a yes.  Unless in Waco, then a no is a yes no matter what.

But Nick Saban was never coming to Texas.

And you say this with certainty despite not having inside information. If I didn’t know something or was just opining based on my feelings I would probably use qualifiers. But you do you.

But this is Texas and our track record with regard to coaches has left a lot of us with PTSD.

On the Saban front, I have a source on the Alabama staff (not a coach but the support staff) and most assuredly there was a point where Saban was coming to Texas.
