It is hard to find a team even close to UT in underperforming their talent, particularly considering we have a 4 year starter at QB who was a pre-season heisman candidate. Yes, you could argue LSU, but they had 14 players drafted in the last NFL draft (a record tying # and a record tying 5 in the first round, including #1 overall), have a new QB and offensive coordinator, had 4 NFL top talents opt-out due to Covid, and they can hang their hats on the fact that they are the defending national champion.  The only team even close is Florida St. But, they had a losing record last year and have a new coaching staff.

That worst season thing doesn't mean shit because teams that are dominant can become shit (see: Texas), and the ooc schedule started to get more competitive.
Looking at our schedule and the ooc losses from those years:
2014 - Maybe he beats BYU and UCLA. 
2015 - A competent offense may make the Notre Dame game decent, not like Mack had recruited a QB though by this point. Maybe he doesn't choke away Cal
2016 - He probably doesn't lose to Cal
2017 - Maybe he beats Maryland, I doubt he beats USC, I think we were all surprised how close we came to beating them.
2018 - Again he might beat Maryland.
2019 - I don't think he beats LSU.

He might have a few more wins, but the way the offense had looked in his final years and the lack of good recruits coming in and player development, I think it may have gotten worse. Charlie tried to instill discipline and did okay bringing in some talent but there was a lot he did not do well. Herman has brought in some talent and has done somewhat better. Not as many blowout losses as in the last two regimes.

Yep. Riley has a structural issue with fielding a good defense based on practice and resource allocation. Plus he hired Bennie Wylie so he's got some major holes as a head coach. 

4 years in and he's taken Oklahoma to their worst roster and team in two decades. But maybe it's their turn to miss on a hire.

Whoever replaces Mensa will get 25-35M over 5 minimum.   We aren’t getting Urban on a 5@5M more like a 5@10M if it happens

That is exactly my point. There is not a coach that is good enough to be a virtual guarantee to turn UT football around that would be worth paying $25mn to buyout current staff and then on top of that guarantee another $25-$35mn over 5 years. I would much rather lockdown a more certain future in guaranteeing Urban Meyer or Shanahan $50mn then potentially piss away another $25-$35mn and be in the same boat 3 years later!  Therefore, unfortunately in this environment, if we can't lock down Urban Meyer or Shanahan with an offer that is too good to refuse, the prudent thing to do is just wait a year, reduce the buyout by $10mn and let Herman completely implode without this year's senior class.

Shelley Meyer doesn't want to live in L.A. or Austin.  She wants to split time between Columbus and Florida and has zero interest in Urban coaching again.  Neither do his kids.  People love to shit on Urban's health problems but they are real and are exacerbated by stress.  

All of that said, Urban calls the shots and could decide to coach again, but his family would strongly resist it.  I have been told that Urban is very aware of his legacy and what a NC at a third school would mean.  He is also very aware of his winning percentage (3rd after Rockne and Leahy) and doesn't want to jeopardize that by taking the wrong job.

Frankly, I would be shocked if he took the Texas job but never underestimate Urban's ego/self-belief.  The only job I can see Urban taking would be Notre Dame if Kelly bailed in the relatively near future for some reason.

Seems to me that if they were friends, that, and the fact that Meyer already has all the money he'll ever need, might keep him from taking the UT job - unless Herman has already been fired. (It would look bad if Herman is fired and Meyer announced as new HC a week later.) Keep in mind that a million bucks to Meyer is probably like fifty grand to you or me. Would you screw over a friend for $50k?

Yet they hang out in Ft. Collins often?  Also, there is no real threat in this conference, save OU.  He can increase his winning percentage in the Big 12.  Hell he probably had more Texas talent than 3/4 of the schools in this confernece.

Cut new theology.

$1m per win.  Straight up.   3-year deal.  If the wins roll in, the cashflow to Bellmont will accelerate way past the $1M per win outlay.

You get 1 OC and 1 DC.  Year 1, $100k per win.  Year 2, $125k per win.  Year 3, $150k per win.

All other assistants on some kind of "base + commission (wins)".

It's all performance based.

and NO BUY OUT.

I think Urbs takes that deal.  It's a double-dog-dareya.  If he doesn't take it, he's "weak" and "not hungry" and "unwilling to put skin in the game".

The optics are superb.  There's no Boomhauer pornonumber attached to the news cycle.
