It has been speculated that the answer to the thread title's question is that del Conte only required of #MensaTom that he must win the CC. In that case, CDC has not fired him yet because there is still a chance it may happen.

I have recently heard a counter-argument that CDC has a fiduciary duty to UT, which outweighs his notional duty to himself to keep his word, and that it is quite arguable that the duty absolutely falls on the side of eliminating the current, proven mediocre, coach in favor of the all-time great listed coach currently regaling America with his knowledge of the game, and who is available this very day.

CDC, make the calls. Preferably today, but we can wait until Black Friday if necessary. Do it.

If Matt Campbell should win conference at Iowa State before Herman does, enough said.

oh don't worry, Iowa State will finish first, OU will finish second, and OU will then beat them by 30 in the Big 12 "championship game" to win this shitty conference for the hundredth time

FCB mentioned that some industry source thinks Brian Kelly would listen to a Texas head coaching offer. That might be somebody trying to fuck us out of our chance with Urban. Why would he leave that built team with no conference ties to start over with a shell of a program? 

He won't leave.  His agent is most likely the industry source floating that he will listen because he wants a raise at Notre Dame.

IT mentioned him weeks ago but they think it’s all posturing from all sides

Because the best he’ll ever do is the auto slot the playoff committee has  unofficially built in for Norte Dame if they just win all of their games......  Conference or no conference .But he will still come up short at Norte Dame as far as winning the title.  Yes the administration at Norte Dame has loosened their admissions somewhat in order for Kelly to broaden his recruiting pool, but  not enough .   I’d take him as a second choice to Urban for the very reason he has standards and hold people accountable.  He did that from his first HC job and Grand Valley State and won national championships.

Lol... Yeah let's not throw a pop pass or anything. They knew Ehlinger was taking that the whole way. 

Yep, everyone knows we don't use our RBs and knew it was gonna be Sam up the middle, just like every other short yardage/4th down play.

Sam will get us into field goal range to tie this thing up

Sadly, this is when Sam and Herman shine. When we are down and backs to the wall. Heaven forbid they actually put a game away when we have the momentum. Nope. We get to 20 early in the 2nd half and all downhill from there. 

I am so ready for the Herman/Sam era to end. We need new life big time.
