I don't think this works. Will kill recruiting for 2 years. The money that a good program brings in is crazy. Aggs got them a good coach and see where they are headed. Least in the right direction. And that's with a crap QB. I don't care if you have to pay UM $12M just get him signed for 5 years and move on so we can start to rebuild this dumpster fire.

I would put Meyer as the first choice. As I wrote above, this is a contingent plan if we can’t get our first or second choice. In other words, we would only do this if Meyer and our second choice were to turn us down—even for large sums of money (which does happen at times). If that unfortunate situation were to happen, I’d rather just have an interim coach than give a long contract to our third, fourth, or fifth choice.

For who, Meyer?

Hamilton seems to be saying it's happening, without saying it exactly

There is a 247 thread claiming compensation is basically worked out and the family is fine with Austin.
Supposedly the sole remaining issue is returning to the stress of coaching

Dude has no negotiation leverage, except how big and inflated his salary is. Besides "too expensive to fire", what does He-Man offer? He and the Shack are peas in a pod.

When Rap Game Larry is aligned with Fancy Boots - there is no more confirmation needed

In all of college football history, I don't recall a situation where a coach with Meyer's pedigree of success has been available and desirous of working at a particular school. This isn't a once in a century opportunity, it is an unheard of, unprecedented opportunity. To not hire Meyer now is inconceivable, Herman or no.

5 years lurking, but your first post is spot on.

If the deal cannot be done with Urban Meyer, then I am for firing Herman and letting Yurich or Ash play HC next year.

I do not think that Matt Campbell is a good choice. Really good coach? Definitely, but not for Texas. Besides, Michigan is already in discussions.

Mario Cristobal is a horrible choice, and not a very good coach.

Bob Stoops is enjoying retirement too much, and doesn't want the headaches that are Texas football. OU had a handful of BMDs that he had to deal with, and Dr Boren controlled all of those. Texas has many more, none of whom have "buffers".

In my lifetime (which is long), I cannot recall a time when the coaching pool was so empty. We have moved from the weekly special to the daily special; I'd rather not proceed to the hourly special.

The most impatient person on this board is telling y'all to be patient and trust Chris

We are Texas.

If it’s a given that Tom is gone, and if we can’t get our top choice or a close second choice, then I’d be for keeping one of the coordinators as an interim HC, maybe bring Robinson back in as an interim DC. Something to get us through next year while mitigating the damages. What we don’t want to do is hire #3, 4, or 5 on the list and sign him to a long multi year $$$ deal

Initially read that as interim HIC.

My bad...

5 yrs for $60mil (per IT)

It makes Jimbo's look good. That kind of money should only be paid if you're desperate for a NC in the next five years and don't care about anything else. $12 million per year. Jimbo is $7.5 million per year. It has taken Jimbo what, three years to go top 5? Can we expect UM to turn it around that quickly without a GREAT 2021/2022 class? He would need to be in here ASAP wouldn't he?

I'll say this though; a coach who has won NC at two different schools and a high profile as a college analyst on TV would put Texas on the map of total relevance day one.

What about all those "Great" classes from 2018? 2019? 2020? The players are here. They simply need to be coached up!

Yes... that makes sense. So can UM do it? That's the $60 million question. We have to believe the answer is yes.

But were those classes truly "great?"

Name one stud player who is clearly elite (meaning he's already done it) that will be here next year. Maybe I need more coffee but I don't see a Vince, a Ricky or anyone on the D-line that is an absolute top 5 pick. Or a left tackle that is a clear #1 draft choice.

I didn't see a Vince or Ricky on Iowa State's team. In fact, there is not one player on Iowa State that was recruited by Texas. A great coach can make all recruits look like 4-5 star players. Once that starts happening, the "real" 5 star players will start to come (see Alabama, Ohio State and Clemson).

Yes. I suppose I'm stipulating that the Iowa States of the world will be swatted away and have projected instead into the College Playoff for that kind of money.
