This mention of John Harbaugh is interesting.

Harbaugh is the opposite of Gary Kubiak when it comes to completely managing a football operation. Dude is a solid evaluator across the board of all of this coaches. Recruiting is the question, because I don't have many others on the guy. Sure as shit won't be any turtle-ing, dude goes for the throat.

CFB runs in his blood.  Maybe he wants to head back?  His brother and dad were both very successful.  At his age, maybe he's tired of the primadonnas at the NFL level?

I'm fully convinced when people say "Texas is not committed to winning", they are referencing bagman and how recruiting has changed.  

I say it and am referring to the overall culture of the school and its administration. Im very much hoping that changes with Hartzell, people claim it has, but they also claimed CDC was one of the best hires in the school's history. 

#32006

How much does Brian Kelly make anyway? The internet is telling me 1.8 mil but I'm assuming that's only part of his compensation.

I get that. But it's one thing for us fans to say it, and another for a guy like -hypothetically- Urban Meyer. In what ways is the university "not committed to winning" that would affect an Urban Meyer? How would it hold him back?

#32009

John Harbaugh has been brought up for a long time here and other schools. I would love that hire but would be curious to see what kind of recruiting staff he puts together.

Just google Clemson, Alabama, Texas A&M, UGA, Ohio State, Oregon football facilities.  Then google Texas longhorn football facilities.  Up until 3 years ago, our locker room looked like something out of the 80s.  Our weight room had some fresh paint and mats added to it.  There are high schools with better weight rooms than Texas.  Ask any recruit that takes an official visit to aggy and then Texas.  They are light years ahead of us with it comes to facilities for the players to train, lounge, watch film, hang out in.  Clemson has a damn private basketball court just for their players to hoop at.  

This has been a problem for a long time.  I'll give Herman credit, he got the ball rolling on getting the process started.  But the Texas athletic department should be ashamed of themselves for letting our facilities fall this far behind.  The fucking bubble is barely holding up together.  Look at the indoor fields of the schools mentioned above.  With all the money they have, they've been sitting on it doing jack shit.  

well to be fair we have to save up for our buyouts...

It's not just athletics, the fountain on the east mall hasn't worked for years. The Speedway upgrade is nice but if you walk around campus you will notice that a lot of stuff is getting a tad worn out.

Dude has been on all sides of the ball

#32014

LOL at Matt Campbell who is playing for a Big XII title this weekend with far less talent than we have thinking Texas is a rebuild. His best recruiting class in his entire stint at Iowa State is going to be 20 spots lower than Texas' worst class under Herman. The "journalist" that wrote that is completely full of shit.

One of the stupidest things said on this thread, and that's saying something.

We do need to upgrade. Mack went from The Bubble to this:

Every SEC team except Georgia has a better indoor facility.

not to keep shitting on facilities.  Our biggest rival and recruiting competitor has fucking boat raced us while our athletic department cared more about how many taco bell commercials they could fit in a single game.

What our little brother offers recruits...

If we hire UM, we could no longer claim the school isnt committed to winning.

CDC is a much better hire than his two predecessors and hardly anyone alive remembers any AD before that.

Again, all of this is keeping in line with what we know about the importance of football to the University of Texas.

4 years ago (before they drafted Lamar Jackson and got back to relevance) I was pounding the table and saying offer him 10 year and 100 million.  I maintain the same idea here- if Urban says no- I'm going to Baltimore and seeing if he can stand the idea of recruiting, and if he can tell him to pull off the college football equivalent of what he's done at Baltimore and I will pay him $10,000,000 a year, he will have a job for life, and it will be pretty easy as long as he can maintain staff and organizational focus.

And as a former special teams coach that's not an innovator that's his strong suit.  You know- Mack Brown if he was also a competent football coach.  The ceiling for him is enormous, and the only way I could see his hire being fucked up is if he can't get coordinators and assistants that can recruit.  I think CDC- even if he has to sit at the kids table wearing a dunce cap- should be able to help with that. 

If I can figure this all out its a beyond obvious play.  Get it done big money boosters.

Yes, to me and you. I'm specifically wondering what that agent is talking about, that's what I'm asking. Why would a coach think that?

I don't think it was ever cutting edge, but it was certainly serviceable.  Now it looks... really bad.  Personally I don't care how it looks, but if player recruits, and coaching recruits do care, then perception becomes reality.

ND under Kelly may be ND's ceiling at this point. I get we have been shit for a decade now but the ceiling at Texas is a step above the ceiling at ND simply due to geography (and maybe some academic shit).

While Kelly > Turtle, I can't get too damn excited about him as our new HC

Then get the fuck out of the thread and don't come back.  We've already met our quota of miserable fucksticks telling the rest of us how things really are.

Independant

Ohio State and whoever else takes defensive players from Texas because they don't want to play on shitty defenses in a league where all the defenses are shitty. The style of play in the big 12 is like a 7 on 7 scrimmage, holding is allowed and normal hits get you thrown out of the game. Not a fun place to play DL. 

You can fire the coach an infinite amount of times and the league isn't going to change. It's been this way for 12+ years.

As of last weekend:

Someone on IT posted a screenshot of FCB thread - FCBis already hedging on the 'Tom Herman is back for 2021' report.  Mentions Patterson telling recruits Mack would be back and then two hours later telling the same recruits that he had just fired Mack.

#32046

A lot of schools with these nice facilities that don't have near as much $$$ available to them, I don't care how many buyouts Texas is having to pay. It doesn't have to be a $100M facility. Just needs to be a lot better. Not a lot of room to deal with around there anyway.

If they lose to Clemson, they will not drop out of the top four.

If Clemson boat-races them ND could easily fall out of the Top 4. Of course that might mean aggy gets in.

Alright last pic.  This is just for the Clemson football players to hang around and have fun.  Someone had mentioned previously that Charlie Strong had to jump through hurdles to get ping pong tables for the team a few years back.

Just a side note on money - Goldman is raising $100 million Rihanna' clothing line.  

Rihanna seeks investment to scale Savage x Fenty

 

If they can get $100 million for modified Fruit of the Loom offerings, getting the money to land the coach at Texas is child's play.

Make it happen, dammit.
