That’s generally what happens when you stay at the same place for as long as he has. See Mack brown and countless other examples of good coaches that eventually “lost it” at their school. Maybe they get too comfortable and lose their edge, who knows. But when they get fired they can get it back if they’re actually a good coach
That’s how I feel. If Mostert is out it’s an easy decision but I feel like even if he’s not, our run d is borderline historically bad. I can just picture SF gashing us all day. But I should be the favorite this week so swift is definitely the safer option.
Lol
Patterson would do better here than Campbell would. At least he’s coached and won a handful of big games in his coaching career. I say that and I don’t want either. We should be better than that
If y’all want, I can start the “fire Matt Campbell” thread the moment we hire him. Or would y’all prefer to wait for the inevitable and start it 2 years after we hire him.
My point exactly. I won’t argue that Campbell is a slight upgrade over Herman. I just don’t think it makes a difference at all. It’s sad, man. If Matt Campbell really is the best we can do, I think we’re fucked for another 5 years
Throw a shit ton of money at someone to the point where they can’t say no. We’re the fucking university of Texas. This really should be one of the 3 or so best jobs in the country if not the best. But again, I’ve accepted that I need to lower my expectations quite a bit. That has been made clear by this thread
Or just get a proven coach that’s had success at a major program. You know, kinda like aggy did. But hey, if we got passed up by aggy it would make sense. We have to settle and hope. For some reason I though this school had more prestige, but I guess I was wrong all along
If the end goal is to go 9-3 every year, fuck it. Let’s hire him. It’s not like we’re a football school that anyone takes seriously anymore. Might as well consistently go 9-3 and get to the cotton bowl. Beggars can’t be choosers, and somehow we’re the beggars now. I guess I need to drastically lower my expectations for what I thought we should be.
God damn we’ve really fallen that far, haven’t we. It’s sad. This used to be a job that just about every coach in the country would kill for. Now we’re settling for Matt fucking Campbell as the best we can do. We really are the University of Miami now.
Think about what kind of pressure you’d have you’d be under if you were playing golf with a random group of 4 people with nothing on the line. Now play with that same group of people but you have half of your bank account on the line. That’s the difference in the level of pressure at Iowa state vs Texas.
I think that says a lot more about how unbelievably shitty the big 12 is, in large part because of how shitty we’ve been. I wonder what the other schools in the big 12 have top recruiting classes. We need a coach with a proven track record.
You don’t have expectations at Iowa state. At all. If he had the same record at Iowa state that Herman has here, he’d get a borderline lifetime contract. The whole fan base would be content because they’ve never won a god damn thing. I bet Herman could have success at Iowa state. There pressure to produce a good product here is about as strong as any school in the county. Iowa state’s expectations are in the bottom 3rd of all power 5 schools probably. And yeah I pulled that number out of my ass but I really do think Herman could have success at Iowa state because nobody gives a shit.
Yeah fuck that with a capital F. I didn’t realize you wanted to hire another Tom Herman caliber coach. There’s a reason Herman didn’t work here. The expectations are crippling for most.
That makes sense. I’m just trying to avoid the colossal failure of seeing pussy ass little brother make the playoffs before we do. We already hear enough about them being top 5, so let’s just keep it there and have them be the team that’s left at the altar.
You think so? I hope you’re right but Ohio state isn’t exactly leaving a good impression right before they make their selections. And you know how badly everyone dick rides the SEC, so I could see a scenario where they’re just itching to get another team in. If it wasn’t Ohio state or another blue blood, I could see where they would jump them.
