Does Lashlee get those results without SB?  Herrall was dealt a hand of crap and turned it into prime rib.  I prefer Herrall with Greg Lewis as WR coach.

And yet SB was pretty unremarkable under beck?

    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

He was non existent with Beck and TH.  We did have Sam tho.  Any wonder why Sonny beat CS?  Herman needs to not screw this up.  He needs to not meddle with the play calling. 

 

THE way to know if Mensa is meddling:  If we are going for 1st down while on the opponents 35 with 4-5 yards to go while the game is within 7-10 points.  Also if we TURTLE at any time with the lead, we will know that Mensa is meddling with the OC.

Harrell uses plenty of 12 and 11 at USC, by the way 

I think that is Fozz's point.  He is adding his flavor to Helton's offense currently.  It's not realistic for us nor him to expect OC autonomy and a complete change of offense.

When it starts to really happen I don't think it will happen on this thread. The name of the thread will be like Harrell is coming / done deal/ etc with like 20 tweets on the first page with all the $9.95 trying to pretend they knew when it was happening. This thread is for therapy and the latest rumors or making up stuff just to see folks reactions.

And therein lies the rub.

His dad coached under Gordon Wood, waaaay more credible than Bob Shipley. One of if not the greatest Texas high school coaches of all time.

 

I enjoyed his research on page 98 in Work in Essex County.  

It’s gonna be Lashlee and Ash. We’re gonna look better for the simple fact that Lashlee can call an offense with some fluidity and Ash will run a 4 down and teach fundamentals.  We’ll win 9-10 games with a CCG appearance and it’ll be Hermy another year.  Then we’ll do this all over in 21 and Herm will be gone.

Hmmmm

 

We are ignoring an available OC with obvious nickname implications?

Surly needs to get its shit together.

Harrell checked out of Leach’s plays 75% time at Tech by Leach’s own admission.  He was Tech’s best QB.  He seems pretty bright and turned Mason Fine into a beast.  I think Harrell will be able to shit on people if we can get him.

If we win ten, why would herm be gone?

So is Memphis the only job currently open that seems like it could be a fit for GH?   Obviously that's a no brainer if they offer it to him.

He won't.  We'll be the perpetual 9-10 game winner, yet never make the playoff.  Figures.

I haven't followed it too closely.  But their last 2 hires were Power 5 O-coordinators.  Of course, it's a much better job currently than when Fuente took it.

Ummm, No!!  I remember that OC search after the 2015 season vividly since I was an IT subscriber back than. Sonny Cumbie was choice 1A & Sterlin Gilbert was choice 1B.

This is why we flew the UT school president & AD to Tulsa to get Gilbert. Because if we didn't Gilbert, UT would be looking at hiring a meh list of 2nd wave OC candidates.

Who cares?  I’d take that over 5-7 and all the bullshit we’ve been dealing with.  Let’s get back to 10 win seasons and then raise expectations afterwards.

Super K says Odom may be a bigger possibility than he originally thought and we are in touch with his DC Walters to coach secondary. Also says expect to know yes or no on Harrell by Wednesday 

I'd be down for this.  Odom can fix the defense, go be a HC somewhere after a year or 2 and Walters can take over.

What?  Harrell is coming to be passing game coordinator?

 

Have you not heard Herman since he got here?  The man wants to wash his hands of the offense and let someone else handle it. He would be perfectly happy running the program and recruiting and not having to step in and fix the offense.  If Harrell comes, it will be his show.

Then why didn't he get a new OC last offseason?

 

Yeah.

super k is insinuating that Odom and Herman met today in Dallas and that Memphis is looking for an offensive minded HC

More fun with flight tracking. Kendall Briles? Don't shoot the messenger... I'm just the flightaware conspiracy theorist. 

That plane is owned by N1235L LLC. According to the FAA, that entity’s address is located on Millers Bridge Road in Tallahassee. According to the Leon County Property Appraiser, that same address is a home owned by John T Burnett. Tallahassee local news reports indicate John “J.T.” Burnett is currently under indictment for being involved in a public corruption/bribery case. 

Kim Rivers, the CEO of Trulieve (a medical marijuana business in Florida), is a co-owner is the home on Miller’s Bridge Road.

They might be giving dirty money to FSU, but the plane isn’t connected to UT’s coaching search.

That's funny, Chip Brown just called Odom and said that Odom has been sitting at his desk in Missouri all day.

Apparently Odom is also being considered for DC job at Arkansas.  That would probably be an easier move and cultural fit for his family since he is basically a MO lifer, and it’s potentially less of a risk professionally since Pittman is getting a multi-year deal.  Of course we will be offering him a multi year deal if it comes to an offer but we can’t offer a guarantee that the HC will be around at least three years.  We’ll see.

We can offer him better players to work with so he can get his next HC job sooner.

What I've learned from this thread is that coaches are assholes.

Disagree; most coaches are dicks. Some coaches are pussies and think everyone can get along and dicks just want to fuck all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes. And all the assholes want is to shit all over everything. So pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while because, pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes! And if they didn't fuck the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit.

the job people take is not always the “best” one offered.  Is that hard to understand?  Chris Peterson could have had any opening in college football including Texas over a period of about 7 years. But he chose....Washington.

If Odom picks the Arky DC job over Texas, then Barry Odom’s dad also has a special needs child.

Eric Nahlin: Expect this thing to go down with Harrell immediately. This week likely. 
 

Also Eric Nahlin a week later: I got a text on November 30th saying the coaches would not be hired until the third week of December.

 

Straight stealing 9.95 from people. Making it up as they go. 

Edited by Newy25

The goal is to announce right before signing day, enough time for recruits to feel okay about the hires but not too long to talk themselves out of it.

Every case will have a non-football reason albeit a less extreme one.  The Scalley dude said no thanks because he believes in magic underwear or whatever and likes Utah.  Utah is clearly not a better job than Texas.  Jim Mora told Steve Patterson to fuck off while at UCLA. His family couldn’t do hot. 

"$9.95 guys don't know anything. Also, I know Scalley told us no because $9.95 guys said we were interested and now he signed an extension."

We will never be the ugly girl at the bar. We’re the hot chick that has been fucked by every guy that bought her a drink over the past ten years. People talk about how hot we used to be and how hot we could be if we got our shit together.

Scalley is the hciw, played at Utah and is a devout Mormon.   
 

mora, like any other non minority candidate, was fodder.   Never seriously considered 

 

 

I’m not familiar enough with Arkansas and Odom for me to judge but as big a shit show as we are, it’s a top five job at all levels.
