    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

I once worked at a company where everybody in the risk department was "laid off" and they all had to re-interview for their jobs.  Maybe that's the plan.

 

I'm stunned, I'm pissed.....It's Tim Beck

We do know that we hired Ash and did not land our top OC target. This is a full on shit show. 

Oh please, Herman scoured the entire 40 acres before hiring Ash.

On the Phil Longo train as well... give him a call... come on Tom

He's not poaching from Mack. 

Look for another Mehringer type yes man hire that's worked with Herman before.

Also, I don’t subscribe to the groupthink on Ash being a terrible hire. If Herman hadn’t worked with him and we ignored his head coaching stint, like we would Muschamp, we’d probably celebrate his arrival. He was at fucking Rutgers for fucks sake.

Listen DramaColt. This shitshow is mostly brought to you by $9.95ers. We have no idea what’s really going on which leads us to drown in our own imagination. If we choose to...

The $9.95ers are completely worthless. They absolutely manufacture drama. 
 

So what do you think is going on? I’m not asking you to prognosticate what you think will happen, I’m just asking what you think is happening...

Don't be surprised.

Messingham coached WR and TE at Iowa St when Herman was OC and succeeded him as OC.  Don't know if he would leave Klieman who brought him to KSt from NDSt.

Just a joke. Texas competing with young, aggressive coaches who resonate better with the kids they’ll be coaching and Texas looking at marrying this geriatric with Beck?? Throw Drayton in the mix and the offensive staff looks like the cast of a Cialis commercial. 
jesus.

You’re the cdt23 of this coaching search. If you were grading it on a curve, would you put it at an A- currently?

247 / Chip Brown / Coaching search

Spoiler

Monday, 8 pm - Sources told horns247.com even before Herman reassigned Beck to quarterbacks coach through UT’s bowl game that Herman would be interested in talking to Graham Harrell and LSU receivers coach and passing game coordinator Joe Brady as candidates to run Texas’ offense.

With Harrell staying at USC, and reports that LSU has put together a new deal for Brady, another name to keep an eye on might be Kansas State offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham, who served as tight ends coach and then receivers coach at Iowa State under Paul Rhoads when Herman was offensive coordinator for the Cyclones from 2009-11.

Former Rutgers coach Chris Ash, whom Horns247 was first to report Sunday would be Texas' new defensive coordinator, was also at Iowa State as defensive backs coach with Herman and Messingham in 2009.

Messingham has spent the past three seasons as the offensive coordinator for Chris Klieman - on national championship teams at North Dakota State in 2017 and 2018 and at K-State in 2019. (Chip Brown)

 

Whats Les Koenning up to?

Herman's obsession with "optics" and controlling the narrative just put us between a fucking dick and a hard place. If we don't end up (miraculously) getting Brady, the fucking "optics" look like Herman was a dipshit the entire time. What is the fucking point of keeping everything close to the vest when you're alleged #1 hire tells you to fuck off for half your offer price

I’m gonna be sick

At this point he should talk to a Chad Morris.  Guy can recruit and is a really good OC.  He has all the relationships with Texas HS coaches and won a MNC at Clemson.

Hey, Chad, this is Tom Herman. Look, I know you just took the OC job at Auburn, but would you be interested in leaving for the Texas OC job?

Messingham might not be easy on the eyes but he can coach offense. I'd be ok with him. The rest of the assistants and Tom will tell the story.

[harvdog] Well unhire him!!! [/harvdog] 

Our fans are such a shit show during a coaching search. 

My bad. Didn’t know he went to Auburn.  The jackals love to jump on people.  Geez. 

I'm feeling pretty good about predicting 200 as the floor for this thread right now.  

It's about time for the Todd Dodge talk to heat up.

He's about to win another State Championship.

Funny.  What amusing is how worked up everyone is getting about a process they know nothing about.  All the speculation is hilarious.  If Mensa showed up to their offices to sit down they would all be kissing his ass and taking selfies.  But since that isn’t going to happen, they sit and bitch about what they think is best for the football program and pray for us to lose so they can speculate about the next coach.  These are the same people who bitched about Mack when he was winning 10 games a season and it wasn’t enough.  
 

Relax.  We will be fine.

Yeah, the over-the-top hate for Ash is bizarre. He may or not work out but he's a pretty solid hire for the current situation. For those who are shitting all over him, who specifically should Herman have hired instead?

I wonder if Herman has thought about hiring Tim Beck. He had a pretty successful career at Kansas and Nebraska and did alright at Ohio State. At Texas, he had one of the more prolific offenses in Texas history. And Herman knows him and probably has pretty good insight into his abilities. And considering he was just demoted, I am sure we could get him on the cheap.

From my perspective he was not a hire that moves the needle, but if he can get us to just being solid defensively it will be ok. The bigger problem is on the offensive end and that shitshow looks like a disaster to this point.

The reason for the hate I think is that most people look at him as another guy who will say “yes” to Tom. Some people, myself included, think that the only way Tom will be successful is if he has two coordinators who tell him to shut the fuck up and to get out of their rooms. He isn’t that.

Who would have thought the hit on Colt McCoy’s shoulder would have been the biggest play in the history of the program

Will CDC approve of Major after he manhandled that big booty latina bitch during Alamo Bowl Prep?

Exactly! Just like the program has been just fine for the last 10 years.

As long as he can bring along Case McCoy as WR coach.

If he paired Ash with GH I wouldn't have been bitching.   But it certainly appears he's just going to fire a couple of his buddies and replace them with a couple of his other buddies.   We've seen this movie already.

In the words of Bob Stoops, everyone deserves a second chance, we all make mistakes, pick up the phone and offer redemption to Art, your $5 million annuity is at stake. Give us another meaning to our "We were Texas" T shirts.

Only if we can get Jordan Hicks to coach linebackers.  I'm sure they'd want to coach in the Alamo Bowl
