Told that the Houston alums have already committed $10mm per year to hire Urban.
Said that the A.D. and alums were done with Herman after the Eyes of Texas debacle.
We should find out real soon how this plays out but whether it is Tuesday or some other date Herman is gone!
That I can almost take to the bank.

Would surprise me if Texas wasn't negotiating with Urban as we post. Recruits will be lined up at his door on day of announcement. Urban will derail Jimbo and SEC recruiting.

How can you "almost" take something to the bank? They'd have to make a mid-season coaching hire to keep recruits from bailing. How often has that happened?

Urban has his own issues far worse than the Eyes of Texas. Herman is probably gone, but it'll be end of season if it happens IMO.

And Urban will be just another ut head coach that does less with more. It's how that worthless school rolls.

Urban wouldn't stay very long at all.

UH coming up with that kind of money? Business on Telephone Rd must be booming.

Not going to happen Tuesday and not this year unless they lose another Big 12 game.

So Texas will pay 20 million Herman and assistants and hire a cat that has players in jail 24/7. They want to win something fierce.

---

That's the only thing a lot of people care about including, unfortunately, some Baylor fans. Or so it seems.

There problems are the institutional culture. Fran Fransculla said it during a MBB game (January--rewatched just yesterday): they have an entitlement culture in which they think winning will be automatic because they deserve it resulting in players (& coaches) not making a full effort and losing. It sounds crazy given the results, but see it all the time. That's why Texas lost to Kansas a few years ago. That's why their biggest win of the decade was arguably the Sugar Bowl win over Georgia. That's why they have not been Big 12 champs in a long time and never been to the playoffs.

Mayer might get them to the playoffs in a few years (I hope not) but they will probably choke worse than OU does each time.

Which is entirely possible.

I believe all they have to do is beat the Kansas schools to get to the championship game. That shouldn't be too hard for them. I don't see how they justify a change if they go there.

I think the Oklahoma schools are ahead of them and Iowa state

OU holds the tiebreaker over UT if they both win out.

Does not matter who they hire, he will not be a winner- way too many good teams that will whip their butt.

Urban won't like the LHN up in his grill 24/7 either

Do y'all really think Texas is a hard place to win?? It looks like alt reality has creeped from R&P to here.

I think it is actually a hard place to lose. That is why whomever the coach is, a 5 win season seems to be the worst that can be accomplished there and that is extremely rare. Like to the tune of maybe twice during every 30 year time span. If they commit full scale to winning big it is about guaranteed they will. They are one of only a handful of programs you can say that about.

Not UH alums .UT alums living in Houston...Urban Meyer isnt going to Houston..

Texas certainly is a tough place to win for Baylor: IIRC, 2010 & 2014 are the only times we've won there this century. One was RGIII the other was Bryce Petty.

At least WBB wins there consistently & MBB too, in recent years.

Urban has dominated wherever he's gone. If anyone can do more with more, it's Urban.

But yes, he would probably only be head coach for 5-6 seasons at most.

Nobody is ahead of Iowa State.

If they hire Urban, they will win at least a conference championship. They'll also have a number of players in jail.

A tea-sip insider friend of mine says the OP is pretty spot-on.

Pope Urban is awaiting the white smoke at most anytime now.

Yeah I was just saying there was 3 teams ahead of Texas

https://big12sports.com/standings.aspx?standings=159

Iowa State is on top
the 2 Oklahoma teams are tied for 2nd
Texas & W Virginia are tied for 3rd

I'm sorry, that comment is out to lunch. I cannot reach the championship game and leap over Iowa State, Oklahoma and Oklahoma light. They are done!

I'm pretty sure the rest of us we'll regret them hiring Meyer. He would likely have that program looking on the field like the richest program in the country.

It would be an awful look to see UT in highlighter burnt orange against Baylor in their banana yellow. Yuk !!!
