It's stunning to me that a grown man has his family on his pic there and then writes things like that. Amazing.

He's clearly mentally ill. As a society, we have to recognize that egomania, unhinged bitterness and narcissistic posing IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILDREN is not healthy. There is no other explanation.

Fenves = Jerry Jones.

I can't believe the President of the University would overrule the AD on stuff like this.

It's happened before, but yeah .... we are usually at our worst in that scenario

But I thought it was interesting CDC was against extending Tom -- if I knew that at the time, I forgot it
 
We must get rid of Herman. So much talent. Way too much talent to be playing for Overtime every week. Looks like he was interviewing to be Bill O’ Brien or Jeff Fisher.
 
He gone.

Turn out the lights, the party’s over.

Done deal.

Fait accompli

es un trato hecho

c'est une affaire conclue

het is een uitgemaakte zaak

Urban Meyer es el hombre. (Espero.)
 
Come on now. We all know Herman and his new hires didn’t have spring ball to implement their offensive and defensive systems. It won’t surprise me one bit for Herman to get a free pass. If that happens, it’s time to cut bait at the top of the athletic department.
 
Michigan and Penn State job means facing tOSU and freezing your nuts off half the season. Texas means sweating a little and beating OU. Which job would you want to take ?

That "didn't have time" excuse might float had we started poorly and got better every game ( Like OU did ), but that wasn't the case. We started out sucking and sucked even more as we went along.

TH focused things not realated to football with no improvement and had a Sr QB. LR focused on FOOTBALL at Blow/u with a redshirt QB and they got better.
I hope Dion is proud of me for coloring inside the lines here. :yes:
 
Meyer surely not only wants to win NCs at 3 different programs, but also 3 different conferences. So, Texas is the one.

The ineptitude runs deep in the football program and men's basketball program. Will Baker is hitting the portal. 5* center. Was misused last year and did not play in their first game this year.

That’s a heavenly scenario if you’re Iowa, or Texas Tech, or...

We aren’t.

I know, ES, but Texas has fallen so far the last several years that I think having winning seasons (and at least 3 of 4 bowl wins, maybe 4 of 4) is a building block to future success. We don't get UM, I think it's experimental and we're destined to do the same or worse with a new face.

The only "up and coming young hot-shot" coach we have EVER done well with was the fellow whose name now adorns the stadium. We hired him more than 60 years ago.

And how did we find him? We called the most successful coach ever, who also happened to coach our rival and asked him who to hire.

I am no fan of Jerry Jones, but I would NEVER slander the man in this manner. Jones is at least an "in you face" guy that will run over you. Fenves is a slimy little weasel sneaking around in the dark, and masquerading as a good guy doing what is good for the community, when the community includes no representatives from the University.

I strongly object to your characterization of Jones being in the same Phylum as Fenves, whom is such a sorry excuse for a human being that I'd be ashamed to introduce him to my neighbor's dog as a representative of the species.

Here is part of Chip Brown
@SabreHorn - see bolded part

"..... Herman has yet to have a losing record - going 7-6, 10-4, 8-5 and 5-3 - for a winning percentage of .625 (30-18). Despite a 3-0 record in bowl games, including a Sugar Bowl victory over Georgia two years ago, Herman is 1-4 against Oklahoma, 1-3 against TCU and has seven losses as a ranked team against unranked opponents - most in FBS since 2017. Herman’s failure to have his team standing together for the post-game playing of The Eyes of Texas following the TCU and Oklahoma games - which also happened to be suck-the-air-out-of-the-program losses - was a huge sore spot with UT decision-makers, despite any pleas to the contrary.

We’ll soon see if a push by big-money donors to target Herman’s former boss - Urban Meyer - as UT’s next head coach may have accelerated judgment day for Herman. Would Meyer, who won two national titles at Florida (2006, 2008) and one with Herman at Ohio State (2014), be the first choice of first-year Texas president Jay Hartzell and/or athletic director Chris Del Conte?

Del Conte didn’t hire Herman. Former athletic director Mike Perrin and school president Greg Fenves did. And it was Fenves - not Del Conte - who signed off on a two-year contract extension for Herman following the 2018 season, sources told Horns247. “Herman’s agent (Trace Armstrong) went hard after Fenves for that extension following the Sugar Bowl win (over Georgia),” a source close to the situation told Horns247. “Del Conte wanted to wait on it. But he was overruled (by Fenves).”

Thanks to the extension, Herman is set to go from earning $6 million in 2020; to $6.25 million in 2021; $6.5 million in 2022; and $6.75 million in 2023. His contract buyout is $15 million - $5 million for each of the three years left on the contract after this season. Del Conte backed Herman after last year’s disappointing 7-5 regular season and shelled out more than $16 million in guaranteed salaries to Herman’s seven new assistant coaches, including new offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich and new defensive coordinator Chris Ash. Roughly $10.1 million remains on those guaranteed contracts.

It’d cost more than $25 million to buy out Herman and his assistants. It’d probably cost Texas $10 million per year over five to seven years to land Meyer, who is 56, sources told Horns247.com. A source close to Meyer told Horns247 that Meyer might be ready to get back into coaching. That source said Meyer is comfortable and enjoying working for FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff (which has its last episode on Dec. 19), but added, “He’d only consider Texas, USC and Notre Dame.”

Herman had to make hard decisions on Friday. Now, it appears to be the UT administration’s turn. "​

This piece really helps clarify CDCs role and, to me, puts him in a favorable light and a very strong position with higher admin...and BMDs.. if there is any good sense to be found there, that is.
