Fire CDC

I’ve heard the argument that in college football these days you have to offer big money, multi-year guaranteed deals if you want the talent. Is that really true? I suspect it is for the big names but that’s a very short list.

I think about Charlie’s ridiculous deal and in my opinion he was not in a position of negotiating strength. No titles, very little HC experience and very limited success at that. I think someone like him would have gladly taken a 2-3 year deal at, say, $2M per with some performance incentives. It’s still good money, and if you prove yourself there’s lots more to earn. Emphasis on earn.

Herman seemed to be a hot ticket in 2017 but I don’t know how much of a competitive situation UT was actually in with him. Were others making big offers to him that forced our hand on the terms?

Tillman Fertitta and LSU come to mind.

Too much?

Absolutely! Blasphemy!

He has almost totally transformed the women's side of the Athletic Department (that will be finished when he dismisses Angela Kelly after the Spring soccer season - which is really the fall championship season).

Meyer was the only coach available worth paying Herman off plus paying $10M plus a year. CdC knows better than dismiss a coach without having an upgrade in the bag. Neither Mangino or Briles have proven championship pedigrees so they are not the answer to the riddle. CdC's women hires indicates that when he finds his man he will do what it takes to bring him in.

Apparently harder to find a man than a woman
