For Real ....Herman “IS” Done!!!

Not even close. CDC doesn’t grab his ankles every time Bowelsby calls. The way Littlepage did for Swofford. UVA was the ACC’s butt boy

The only "whale" left in the coaching sea is Dabo and he'd be a fool to come. He's a legend and set for life in S.C. Saban is too old now. There's nobody.

We made our bed with Herman (and paid him plenty) and now we're stuck with him.

Perhaps an old Saban is a forward looking slot that UM has his eyes on?

When you Google A$$hole Jeff Fisher is first on the list.

I guess Meyer realized this wasn’t worth the hassle. Probably remembers Gator alums drove him sick and Texas would be worse.

This^^^^^is why I said what I said above....and a few predictably disagreed.
Meyer didnt leave Ohio State due to health and he very very likely didn't turn us down due to health.
I can't figure out why people keep saying he left Ohio St. due to health...simply isn't so...and because that excuse was believed by some and circulated it makes an easy...and apparently believable to some.....excuse now.
 
Texas has to be disciplined. We shouldn’t rush out and just grab a coach. We need to regroup and stick with Herman (as gross as that sounds) until we can get Dabo, Saban, or Stoops. I’ve heard Kelly thrown out there, but not sure he can recruit Texas. But then again, I guess he can’t do worse than Herman is recruiting now.

Is Bowelsby still in the witness protection program? No sighting in many moons Kemosabe.
How will he lobby for his sooners for a playoff birth from, whereever?
 
Can't believe Scott Frost and The Pirate are already on the hot seat.

Nebraska screwed the pooch when they fired Frank Solich. He went 9-4, 12-1, 10-2, 11-2, 7-7, 9-3 at Nebraska and they sacked him. They haven't been worth a damn since.

Frost was one of the hottest names at the time
Somewhat like Herman
 
I figured Heupel would be one of those up-and-comers who would inherit a Power-5 team as well after Frost left there, but UCF has only gotten worse on his watch. It seems like the AAC isn't the proving ground that many thought it was. That's also why I'm wary of Fickell.

I kind of want to see what Aranda can do at Baylor given his own recruiting merits and scheme and stuff. I don't want to hire him, but I have theories about taking proven HC's from non-Power-5 schools versus coordinators from big schools.

...Among the many issues, and there are many, is the amount of "leaking." Whether it comes agents, admin types, the paysites or the BMDs themselves, every time we try to do something, it becomes a giant clusterfrack.

I dont know if you guys follow baseball much but, a couple years ago, we screwed up our search for a new baseball coach so bad that we effectively got large raises for colleges coaches across the country. We are the bull in the china shop

If they keep Herman, next year will be even worse. He will have gotten away with the summer controversy and survived a ****** season considering he supposedly had the talent to maybe be undefeated and in the playoff hunt. Instead, another loss to TCU and OU as well as whoever else they lost to.

What incentive is there for him to do better and lose the arrogance?

And people need to realize.. ou is set for a real strong next handful of years....2019-2021 was our window to take back some ground

You've heard of locals love us???
Well..
Agents and coaches love us!!
 
TFB also talking about Mullen, adds this

Lastly, I know some folks have asked about the possibility of Chris Peterson. I did reach out to someone who is close to Peterson and asked if he would entertain the Texas job. Source said, “very doubtful. He’s done”. ​

Orangebloods brain trust thinks that it's Urban or Herman and they have a good point. If not Urban, who could we all agree on? Certainly not any of the names I've heard so far; Campbell, Crystobal (sp?), Franklin, etc. They're all just Stong/Herman v03 - one season wonders with no long term record of success.

It will cost $15 million to buy out Herman, $24 million to buy out Herman and all coaches, plus the buyout on whatever coach we would hire! Oh and of course, the new elevated salary and long term contract on the new coach. For that kind of dough, you gotta be sure. That cost could approach half the cost of more of the south endzone expansion.

I dont think the power brokers understand how dire our recruiting situation is right now. They will say they do, but I dont think they really do
It's 4-5 year risk
