Strong...Herman....Meyer....none can overcome the entitlement mentality that covers that tee shirt culture. "Doing less with more, that's how we roll!" Oh and many thanks to texas for filling in for the once popular aggy joke. Well deserved!

The success in Norman surely adds to the pressure....

Asked Grant Teaff about Urban Myer. He said he did not like him. Interesting

Not surprising, Meyer is a sleaze ball.

My viewpoint is that Urban Meyer will turn down the UT job because of his health, his good salary at Fox Sports and his wife.
She doesn't want him to have another aneurysm.
And coaching in Austin will bring that on.

But looking at this as a semi-neutral observer, I don't think they should be canning Herman in his third season, with a winning record. His numbers aren't Charlie Strong level, and he has had the misfortune of coaching aggressively, without being able to convert. (4th down in particular)

I do not think he is a bad coach, but 7-3, or 8-4 will get you fired in Austin.

UT's biggest issue has been that they don't get the level of play from their QBs that Tech, ISU, TCU and Baylor has enjoyed since Mack Brown left.
Not seeing a Heisman candidate in the past 15 years, whereas Baylor had RGIII, Tech had Mahomes and OU had Baker Mayfield.
IMHO, they are a QB away from challenging for the national title, but luck is a hard thing to capture.

---

10 years sure but 15 years they did have Colt McCoy and he was a great college QB and Heisman runner up.

Your point is well taken, and I admit my error.
(I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.)

Well it's Tuesday and Tom still sits on the 40 acres. If it didn't happen this week, I highly doubt it will happen at all...this year.

Total buyouts for the entire staff sit around $24MM. And unless Meyer is a done deal, signed and delivered, Del Conte, ain't about to fire Herman with a just hope of getting the Redeemer in the door. And I think Meyer is a long way away from a done deal.

Herman will be gone, but it will be next year before it happens, IMHO.

Well said. That "fairly reliable source" apparently not fair or reliable. So, nothing to "take to the bank" today and probably not this year, unless they lose to KSt which with rumored opt outs is not impossible.

I don't have a newsletter

Stay tuned....he will not be the head coach at UT next year.

Let me guess you saw Saban and Meyers spouses looking at property together in Austin ?

People love to post "I've heard from a reliable source" because it makes it sound like they were in the room where it happened.
It's all ego.
It's Wednesday, Tom Herman is still there.
And I still think they may make a run at Art Briles because Urban is going nowhere.
(That is just my OPINION. No "reliable sources.")

UT is too dang "woke" to allow themselves to hire Art. There will be test balloons that will be shot down with malice.

Art will have to catch on and "reform" at a place like SFA or Texas State first. Then, Katie bar the door!

I am not sure that Art will ever get another shot.... but if he does the one place I could see giving him a chance would be Liberty when Hugh leaves.

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

---

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 !!!

---

Yes, the yellow is sickening, but gold unis would be even more ghey, not that there's anything wrong with
that!

I heard from a source that Coach Aranda will not finish his coaching career at Baylor. Stay tuned.

Do not pass go and do not collect $200.

Urban might tell them what to do with their entitlement mentally...and then develop another heart condition.

RR/BV said:

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.

---

It would be an interesting hire if true. Will probably be $100mm contract. Look, you have to admit the guy wins everywhere he as been. The question I have: is Texas prepared for the controversy? With the winning, Urban Meyer teams bring controversy, often with player off the field behavior. Urban turned down Notre Dame for Florida because ND had too high admission standards.

CBS Cover 3 podcast said the UT flirtation with Urban is over.

But I'm not sure if that source is reliable enough for y'all.

If you do a quick search of the topic, it's easy to find lots of articles from Longhorn & mainstream media sources all saying essentially the same thing. They may not be reputable either (both are notorious for lying & both share much blame in Baylor's recent fake scandal). It's also possible that both Texas & Meyer are sending false signals until he gets the deal he wants (or they round up enough cash from BMD's). Not much point in worrying about it now or spending too much time speculating about what might happen.

All I know is that it is December 10, and Herman is still there.
The "reliable source" that started this thread back on November 28 was possibly incorrect.
Surprise!!!

I still do not believe Urban will risk his cardiac health and a cushy job at Fox Sports to take on the drama queen situation that is Longhorn football.
The attitude down there is that anything less than a National Title is a failure.
As the fans always tell their new HC, "We're with you, coach, win or tie."

(Insider trading confession: My daughter graduated from UT Austin, so I was privy to all of the crazy stuff that goes on in that town. With no pro sports team, the Horns are it with rich folks coming into the Cap City.)

I still think Herman is a good coach who made a bad decision in the ISU and last year's LSU game. If I were the AD, I'd give him two more years to get his QB and get him up to speed, but on one asked me and I'm just another person on a message board with an opinion.

Texas Longhorns AD Chris Del Conte confirms Tom Herman will return as coach
https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/30503702/texas-longhorns-ad-chris-del-conte-confirms-tom-herman-return-coach

Whew, we can breathe again. Mighty Tom remains at the helm. Another preseason Top 15 ranking followed by a 7-5 or 6-6 finish. Entitlement culture at its finest.

Boy oh boy, for a man who was going to be fired a few weeks ago, he sure tuned it around. Thread didn't age too well.

Often the case with gossip.

Thank God for him the KU game wasnt played..that was a no win situation...and if they didnt win...oh boy...
