Where would he be going from Texas? If someone wants him enough to get in a bidding war, we might be in the position to win that one.

Be nice if based on actual results instead of potential for once.

Dumbass, no, the recruits themselves can barely read. But they and their uncles get told by others how likely it is the coach they're signing to play for will be there two or four years down the road. And that's not a difficult thing to interpret contractually. 

Then you guarantee a salary for the entire contract, but make guaranteed base less per year. Six million while coach is coaching, but only, say, three million if coach is not coaching. It would be ideal for an incentive-laden contract if the base is significantly less. Guaranteeing six mil a year is stupid if you can structure it for a three or four mil base with incentives that double or triple it for winning the CFP.

Yes, by all means, let's blame him for somebody else's decision. 🙄

If CDC, as AD, wasn't allowed to be in-charge of Herman's contract bump, then he should have quit. He chose to stay. One of his many mistakes. How is this not obvious?

Yeah. He's going to quit because of that. Sure.

Just because something isn’t obvious to you doesn’t mean the rest of us are confused. 

(Your premise. It’s wrong)

If the president says extend the head coach and you say “I object sir.” To which he replies we are extending him. You would quit? Haha come on man. He has gone through way worse shit than that in his life to have gotten to be the AD at Texas.

I'd rather him get it out of order than "My family and I."  That drives me crazy.

Fuck CDC if he doesn’t recognize the shit product that was put on the field this year. 4 years of this Herman under achieving shit. 

#4679

I think it's time for us to come to grips with the possibility that CDC is not very good at what he does here on the 40 acres.

If you’re holding out hope that Tom won’t be here next season it’s time to come to grips. All the signs have been there for a week. 

#4684

That's the carefully worded vote of confidence CTJ was talking about.  It doesn't say anything about 2021.  I agree that's he's handled this poorly.

So either Tom Herman is coming back and CDC didn't explicitly state it in his statement.

or

CDC purposely released a vague statement about Tom Herman's future that does nothing positive for him, Herman or the program.

Either way this seems like a pretty incompetent day for him. I continue to be unimpressed by Chris Del Conte.

#4686

The statement is intentionally non-committal based on not knowing yet if we can get someone substantially better.

I've been on this for a bit. Sure, he's great st hiring softball and WBB, but uh, it's a little frustrating when he's dragging his feet for a sport that churns out cash.

It’s been completely fucked since October for us when top recruits started jumping ship

CDC and Tom are Rice butt buddies. Why do you think that loser David Beaty was coming here? They’re all in cahoots along with James Franklin as him and Tom’s agent are the same.

#4695

I may be wrong but I don’t think CDC is an idiot. He knows reporters are trying to clarify if he meant that Herman will be back coaching the 2021 season, and he hasn’t come out and said that - would be super easy to clarify this and remove all confusion.

Herman may get lucky if CDC can’t land the right candidate, but I still think Herman is most likely gone.

I hope you're right but fear you're wrong.

He has clarified this to the Statesman unfortunately. CDC and Tom need to be fired.

He clarified it to AAS personally.  His statement is just so poorly written that he had to have clarifying phone calls with reporters.  

Quote

Del Conte later confirmed in a phone call with the American-Statesman that his statement means Herman will be UT's coach in 2021. A second UT source confirmed this as well.

How much of 2021?  And heaven forbid CDC lie to the AAS.
