So Harrell really was never offered if thats the amount USC got him at. Herman better have a good fucking plan that we're all just too stupid to understand and is super under wraps. Its pretty fucking apparent that the $9.95s have less than 0 clue

Why are we assuming that he wasn’t offered or the numbers reported were false? I could see a scenario where GH decides that a $800k less annual salary is worth it to not coach under CTH.

    A few things: -If Harrell is the OC, and the rumors are legit but don’t take anything for granted until ink is dry, then Traylor could make a return. Herman would be admitting to a mistake in let

How long would it take @immamac to put together a UI so that the Surly collective can act as OC?  Herman can just crowdsource the play calls. 

Seriously? You're really going to give Phlegm's quick kick mania a vote?

What a fucking whiff (provided all of this info and conjecture checks out).

 

may be one of the bigger whiffs by the UT athletic dept of my lifetime... again, provided harrell was actually a target

Was it Chip that was reporting 2 million a year?

Or Harrell took less to stay at USC. Or even more likely, we had agreed to 1.5 and Herman pulled the offer when Harrell tried to pull the trigger. 
 
Occam’s razor says Herman doesn’t have a fucking plan, or if he does he’s executing it to perfection and the plan is I’m The Smartest Man Alive. 

In all fairness, Occam was kind of a dick

Pro tip. Dick’s and razors don’t mix. Unless you prefer the Hebrew tip.

Who knows anything given that we apparently have Schrodinger's Defensive Coordinator on the other side of the ball.

And the hit piece before signing day.

The answer all along was so simple and obvious that we all somehow overlooked it. Harrell was never Herman’s true first choice for OC:

So begins the story of the creation of a "GH Wasn't Offered" forum on Surly?

It’s been reported already that he hadn’t been offered. I’m too lazy to find out who and frankly don’t really believe anything reported anyway.

No need to discriminate. Muslims do stupid things to their penises, too.

I know a guy who was there firsthand for their meeting in Houston, and Herman actually pulled his pants down and pissed on Harrell's shoes

Yes, but goats provide different challenges I’m sure.

Never mind that Colin Johnson missed almost the entire season. Other than Duvernay, he was the only WR with any kind of consistency. My hope is the new OC will look at Malcolm Epps and move him to the portal or TE.

Hopefully Eagles, Smith, and Washington are our starting WR's next year.

Maybe the issue really was control of the offense.

Don't you start a jihad both ways with aggy and moslems fighting over who gets the goats, now!

The lesson here is trust in Truckie 

Alright, lets fire up the PJ, stick CDC on it, and make a beeline to NW Arkansas St.

D coord: Why aren't we interviewing multiple people and vetting the hell out of them?

O coord: Why didn't we sign the first name that popped up?

I thought the whole point of the Qatar campus was to ensure plenty of goats for everyone.

Was schooled by surly on how the offense is so easy a caveman can run it.

That’s Cumbie and now Harrell that turned Texas down. I really do think the hatred for Texas runs deep with ex Texas Tech alumni. Real deep. I was surprised at the amount Harrell agreed to. There something else going on there for sure.

A good sign, nah. Disastrous, also nah.

I feel like this take awards Herman the benefit of the doubt.  He has not earned that.

I wasn't 100% on Harrell but honestly was rooting for it hard just so I could fuck with Truckie.

It's got to be Lashlee right?

I get it to a point, but ffs! All of these OC positions that were open and Harrell was only mentioned as a possibility for one, and we're acting like we missed out on Jesus.

So Ash got leaked (no formal UT announcement), and now with the Harrell news, what are the chances a DC and OC get announced tomorrow before signing day? Gotta say, it would be nice. With as much as people say Herman is universally disliked, it’s interesting that he’s been able to hang onto a top 10 recruiting class without coordinators and a bunch of dudes waiting to get fired.

Fyi...  SMU football will head to the Boca Raton Bowl, and will face Florida Atlantic in the game that will be played at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday Dec. 21, and aired on ABC. It will be a true home game for FAU.

From TFB

As Super K mentioned earlier this week it appears that offensive coordinator candidate Graham Harrell has chosen to stay at USC:

“***I know there have been some reports that Harrell is still in play. All I can tell you is that I’ve reached out to multiple people on the USC and they’ve simply said that if Harrell is planning on leaving, he’s doing a heck of an acting job. Behind the scenes, he seems to be assuring them that he is staying. Take that for what it’s worth.

***I can also confirm that Harrell is telling recruits that he’s staying. Again, take that for what it’s worth.

***USC folks say that Harrell does not believe Herman will fully give him the reigns to the offense.

***Either way, we should know something after the early signing period ends.

***Should Herman strike out on Harrell, a name that might be worth watching is that of Kansas State OC, Courtney Messingham. I did not hear his name mentioned as a candidate but he’s coached multiple positions, he’s coached with Herman, he could help with the Texas run game and he sure did a number on Oklahoma this past season”

Super K was on top of this search as he also brought up Kansas State OC Courtney Messingham as a potential fit for Tom Herman and that train of thought seems to be picking up more steam as well.

We will bring you more updates when we get them.

I think it was nice to hear a name that 1) is good at their job and 2) isn't in Herman's comfort zone.  The reaction isn't necessarily solely related to this specific hire falling apart, but moreso confirming many fans' preconceived notions of the type of people Herman wants to bring in.

Kansas State ran a lot of I-formation this year.  Not sure if that was from Messingham or Klieman.

I hate to be that guy - but no HC cedes all staff decisions to his OC (or DC). 

 

Also - I’m pretty sure those rumors started here.

I can get that part of it, but without knowing who all is seriously being considered... ahhh fuck it

I’m actually a fan of toms.  I think he botched this.  Could have had Harrell

One year removed from FCS but has spent plenty of time at P5 Iowa St including as their OC.  He’s not a QB coach by trade - we might keep Beck around.
