It will take season ticket renewals falling off a cliff for any action to take place.

Texas football had a near historic high amount of season ticket sales for this year. If that drops back down to the gutter of CS/FUPM end days (or worse) then CDC will be forced to take action.

Quit buying merchandise etc as well. Hit the AD in the pocket book. It is the only way to get them to listen.

Why Texas keeps hiring assistant (and head) coaches like it is a Tier 2 program is beyond me. All this talk of "We're Texas" is just that. Nut up for a big time assistant vs some fired dipshit from a crap program (Mehringer eg) and outspend any other program if need be.

I will be at the Tech game but I will not be renewing my season tickets next year unless there is significant change in the coaching staff.

None of this matters unless the money stops rolling in. Bellmont doesn’t care otherwise.

It's lot more difficult to change the university than to find a coach who would thrive here. Being successful at Texas requires a lot more than coaching acumen. It's certainly not for someone who hasn't managed a big time program before. Tom Herman doesn't check most of the boxes to indicate that he would be a successful coach here, yet he was the only guy we went after. We will see how good an AD CDC is. It's one thing to waive the pom pom and be a cheer leader, and another to be able to make the tough decisions.

Yea Tom ain’t going anywhere guys. We will have to put up with the same shit next season and hopefully by then more noise will cause a change.

I still stand by my claim that CDC is assuming we win out and our bowl game but if we lose out including our bowl game(all possibilities) then imagine the emails and calls he will get.
 

Right now you will get concerned AD that is standing by his man but if we lose out I can’t imagine he isn’t painted into a corner to make major changes. Cool that he called multiple people though.

I think only the seriously disconnected or ignorant think Tom will be whacked this offseason. He is 100% returning next year. We just simply are hoping for a shake up of positions coaches and coordinators.

Apparently CDC is bringing up Dabo at Clemson as a reason to remain positive.

He and Tom have been doing that all season. Tom started it last year when he said we're ahead of schedule. @Randolph Duke is correct, CDC does not want to make changes and for him not to be forced to make them, it has to remain on the rails but Baylor has other plans. The other fires (Karen, Angela, Shaka if he can't put a season together after a good start) can and will wait, no one cares since they don't produce meaningful revenue. FB is King, if off the rails it will disrupt all projects CDC wants to accomplish.

Leaving this dumpster fire of a conference and going back to playing OU out of conference again would be a good thing.  Leaving Rapelor and every single ref from this place behind would be fantastic.

It's a lazy, pie in the sky comparison and I'm surprised they would try to sell it. Dabo went out and hired Chad Morris and Venables - two of the best assistants in college football.

 No it’s spot on but you can sit there and shit out words with no meaning all you want.

All these teams hate our guts and see us as their rival, and play like it. We couldn’t care less about them. The conference is stale. The matchups are stale. Aside from Texas and OU it is a conference of nobodies. Playing these teams from nobody states is fucking tired. I aint going on no toad trip to bumfuck iowa or kansas or west virginia

Realignment can’t get here soon enough, this shit is boring. Independent, PAC 12 or even the fucking sec would be better than continuing to sink with this Big 12 ship

You mean leave the conference we’ve been so dominant in that we’ve only won it 3X in 23 years? That’s one more than Baylor, who only started Having winning seasons 6 years ago. 

Maybe ou should leave because they need a bigger challenge.Then we can duke it out with the rest of the scrubs like the ACC.

 I didn’t say anything about being dominant, quite the opposite in fact. But yes, leave that conference.

Sent this Saturday night. Just got a phone call from CDC. Crazy.

Guess he got my number from my season ticket profile

Said “hello, Mr —— this is CDC with the university of Texas athletics, and I’m trying to earn that extension you were talking about”
emoji1787.png

And here I thought I was special. I sent the following to CDC on Saturday (edited for brevity - skip pas the italics if you don't care what my email said said) and accidentally picked up when he called me today because I thought it was my kids' school or something:

I’m a member of the University of Texas’ Class of [a long time ago]. I emailed your predecessor, Mike Perrin, about the hiring of Casey Horny.  I’ve been with our school’s team through great, good, bad, and miserable times. However, the hiring and retention of Casey Horny is more upsetting to me than any loss to Kansas (or Iowa State).  I was also extremely upset when our current coach’s response to criticism on the issue was essentially “I just know more than everyone else.”  That kind of arrogance (and standing behind a rape apologist) has no place at the University of Texas. Especially given the Longhorns’ special teams' abysmal play this season, since that is Mr. Horny’s unit.

I’m very concerned about the current direction of the football program. I think we have now seen enough to know that Tom Herman is simply not the right person for the job. His insistence on the Horny hire told me a great deal about his moral makeup. I am also concerned that he is unwilling to make obviously necessary changes to the coaching staff, as the results over the past few weeks have been unacceptable - and not even necessarily because of the outcome. Instead, I am concerned with the obvious disadvantage the Longhorns seem to have in terms of coaching and adjustments every Saturday. The team just seems to regress with every game. I’m not a multi-million dollar donor, but I will tell you exactly what I told your predecessor, Mr. Perrin: the University of Texas will never receive another dime from me - whether it is for merchandise, tickets, or donations until - Casey Horny is no longer employed at the University of Texas in any capacity. Although I do feel that Tom Herman is not the right man to be our coach, the dismissal of Casey Horny would be an excellent starting point for a more moral University of Texas.

In sum, I love the University of Texas. I would very much like the chance to donate some of my disposable income towards making it an even better, more exceptional place for our diverse student body. However, I simply cannot justify doing so until Mr. Horny is no longer an employee of the university.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Regards,

[CampCrunk]

And then CDC called me late this morning and I picked up by mistake. He talked about how they will sit down and evaluate every member of the staff at the end of the season. One thing he did say that I liked quite a bit was: "I was not athletics director when we hired that guy [Horny]." I hope I interpreted that (and his inflection when he said it) correctly and he's going to do something about the situation. He said that it's a tough situation because, although he understands the concerns, he's worried about "throwing the baby out with the bathwater." He mentioned that we've had three coaches in the past seven years and said that he doesn't think that just chasing a different new hot name every offseason is a recipe for success. He did not bring up Dabo Swinney, like he apparently did for some other folks.  I'm sure I'm missing a few points, but I think that's the gist of it.

Overall, he struck me a genuine, good, smart guy who is very concerned about the athletics department even though he (obviously) couldn't go into much detail with me. It's very clear that he wants to win and win big. I came away very impressed with him. Like my email said - I'm a  nobody - and the fact that he took time out of a doubtlessly hectic schedule to call me up and discuss my concerns speaks volumes about how much he cares about the fans. Maybe I'm not a big Mensa supporter (and I'm certainly a Casey Horny hater), but I will definitely be pulling for CDC.

Excellent email.

That bullshit hire was/is maddening...but Herman knows it all! A huge fuck you to all of us who wanted nothing to do with Casey Horny.

Much obliged. One thing I forgot to mention was that he definitely seemed kind of tired and frustrated, which I also think is telling. I'd imagine that very few of us are upset by the results as CDC. One thing that came across very clearly is that he's here to win - and not just print money like a certain other prior AD.

 

Or maybe it was just because he made four or five dozen (or more) of these calls? I have no idea. But I'm very bullish on CDC as AD at the moment and his clear willingness to engage and listen to fans makes me think I'm very much right in feeling that way.

Seeing that our AD is actually listening and responding to non-big money donors is a ray of light in an otherwise dark season. My interest in allocating 4 hours every Saturday to torture myself has been waning, but knowing we have a guy like CDC around gives me confidence we will get this right sooner rather than later.

Never would occur under Deloss for sure as he only listened the McCombs of the donor class..    And certainly under the clown who was hired to replace him.  He was more interested in jet packs and stuff like that.
