It has to do with the coach's rolodex. Someone like UM can call on anyone in the industry whereas Herman probably knows only the few coaches he worked with in the past.

exactly. that was my point.  Mack had the list already made.  Charlie never thought about a list and Herman didn't have one or no one on the list wanted to work for that asshat.

Can we go back to making up stories about Meyer so we don't have to rehash the Strong vs Herman debate again?

This.

Herman has used up any goodwill he had with his boss and the new guy needs to hit the ground running.

I am sure Herman's last ditch effort to save his job will go something like this.

Steve Patterson might have done more damage in his time than either Strong or Herman.  God that guy was fucking awful, how the hell did we hire him?

he and "Korn Ferry" absolutely did more damage to the entire dept.  We are lucky no one allowed Plonsky to swoop into the vacuum after him.

I see absolutely zero way they are firing Herman before Saturday. You don’t trot the face of the program out on Monday just to can him the next day. It makes no logical sense and, for the first time in a long time, we have pretty competent people above the head coach.

I tend to agree with this ^

I think you fire him the moment urban signs.  And not a second later. 

Although, I guess this makes sense too because you wouldn’t cancel the TH press conference until something was finalized, which could technically happen before Saturday.

So the situation...piss and all that.

If I had money on that book I'd be in pretty heavy on Current coach/assistant and Meyer. I don't see it being one of the other two. Almost guaranteed money.

Yeah, 1000 assistant, and 500 UM seems low risk to me to get a little return.

I’m trying not to get excited. Saban should be in his 7th season here so all the UM talk is making me want to punch myself in the face for starting to hope.

Herman asked why this team, with a senior QB and three top-10 recruiting classes, didn't work: "Any answer I give you right now is going to come across as an excuse."

He could own that he isn't that good, and the coaches have called some really bad games and put their players in bad spots because of it. Anything else would be an excuse, he's right.

I know thats old, been chewing on it since lunch.

Hell, I’ll chip in the leech an shit

When it was announced, I looked at his pedigree and saw it was identical to CS.  Only difference was him being white, and douchy.  Tried to stay positive the first year, but after Maryland #2 in '18, I started calling him the White CS.

Buddy of mine always referred to Billy Ocean as the black Michael McDonald...

There are some posters who evidently have the opinion that Charlie Strong was not a good hire.  That's about it for now.

I don't know. He has done pretty well since he left here. I think this year he is going to get a national championship ring.

Not to derail, but this plane has my interest. Took a trip from St. Augustine, FL to Austin on Saturday before going over to Los Angeles later that day (specifically to Van Nuys, which is ~15 miles from Fox's studio/Hollywood and known as a go-to airport for celebrities and other discreet travelers). It's scheduled to fly back to Austin tonight. 

That plane is "blocked," meaning its tail number, owner, etc. are hidden from the public on FlightAware. It's a Dassault Falcon 900 though, which is a $3.5MM+ jet that isn't produced in Camry-like numbers -- the FAA registry shows there are roughly 45 of them registered to TX-based owners (number drops to about 25 total if you only include those in the "blocked" category).

Just cherry picking, but one of those blocked F900s is owned by Cardinal Capital Partners, a real estate PE shop in Dallas founded/led by a UT alumnus of the name Gil Besing. Another is owned by a company called Green Longhorn Air LLC. I'm sure some BMDs could probably be unearthed using the FAA registry and Google if one were so inclined.

Trump refuses to concede.

I have an idea: we should hire Urban Meyer to be our football coach.

I have the clown you quoted on ignore, but will respond since he's still swinging from my nuts after all these years, it appears. I don't use socks. @immamac can happily violate my posting "privacy" and confirm as much, if such a thing is possible. I'm CTJ. What the fuck do I need a sock for?

10. I was pumped. And wrong. 

I was a 2 on the Tom Herman excitedness scale. Having met and listened to him helped with that ranking immensely. I've been saying this from the beginning, but the guy is a fucking meathead. Where anyone got the notion that he was bright is beyond me. He's as dumb in real life as he appears on tv. 

Also, fun story about this asshole's obnoxious stupidity since The Hermancipation Is Nigh -- Fuckface and his wife took a booster's plane for a weekend to Mexico or some shit. Boarded the plane drunk as fuck, got into a batshit crazy screaming fight with each other, and the wife attempts to pull the door open at 35,000 feet, which had to be documented in some form for whatever reason. I'm happy to get as shitfaced with my wife on vacation as the next guy, but getting violent and nearly causing the demolition/wreck of some patron's $10+million property in the process? Yeah, you're dumber than a sack of hammers.
