ASU vs USC this weekend....

Seems like Ol' Herm is doing pretty decent job of building ASU. He's running his program like an NFL organization, and selling that his staff will better develop players for the NFL.  He also has improved the recruiting at ASU -- Herm gets that better recruiting is critical for success in CFB.

For discussion purposes, just say Urban is actually done coaching CFB, who else might be able to replicate what Herm Edwards is currently doing ASU??

Jeff Fisher?

  • WIth Meyer you are sacrificing a chunk of dignity.  With Stoops you are blowing your dog in front of your neighbors. 

  • We should hire me!

    If you choose not to go get a coach that has won multiple NCs at 2 different schools, then you’ve decided winning championships isn’t a priority. we already have the perfect coach for that mindse

Seems like he has gotten his shit together and survived and thrived under Saban 

Pop a top again.  I think I'll have another round.  Set 'em up my friend.  Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down.

Herm Edwards success at ASU discussed here... Starts at 6:25 mark

I am a huge PJ Fleck fan and I think he will continue to be awesome in Minnesota but I don't know if he is the right guy for us. He is a rustbelt guy and he doesn't have that resume people here want to see. And some people might not buy his personality which I think kind of works in the midwest but might be kind of...um...hokey here.
He is only 39 years old though so if people were looking for that young and hungry coach he is a possibility.
But people seem to want some old dude with a long track record behind him. Fair enough, we have already tried two up and comers.
He's toned down his schtick at Minny, either because theyre a bigger program that has more entrenched culture and heritage, or because he's older and established now..maybe a combo of both. I cant see him coming to Austin trying to change things too much culturewise, but even if he does, winning makes all the nonsense much more palatable.

Having said that, Fleck should only be a backup plan. I'm not totally convinced he'd have much more success with Charlies half baked cake if he were hired instead of Herman.

Why would Texas hire Matthew McCounaughey as HC?!

Just a question for Surly... 

Do you believe Yurcich is a strong enough leader to take over as Interim Head Coach right now and finish the 2020 Season??

Can't be worse than the dickless wonder we have.

You’re right, probably not head coach. Matthew would make a fine position coach, maybe a coordinator.

If Fleck's name is even being uttered by any non-spineless BMD's we have a huge fucking organizational issue. Herman is a better coach than Fleck ffs.

Chris Del Conte Called A Booster Last Week Asking For Money To Buyout Herman And Confirmed He Had Urban Meyer’s Verbal Commitment

QB32 days ago8 Comments

Tom Herman responds to report that pins him as the tipster who set the investigation at Ohio State into motion

Look, I am not giving you my source. That source being the booster. So, I get it. You may not believe me, say I am trolling, etc, but I promise you that is not the case. Del Conte 100% called this specific booster, asked for $1 million to help with the buyout and told said booster he had a verbal commitment from Urban to be the Longhorn’s next head football coach. Facts. And for the record, this booster said he would be willing to give the $1 million.

 

Now personally, I don’t want Urban in burnt orange. I’ve said it a million times, Urban winning Texas a Championship would feel cheap. The beauty of winning a National Championship after a drought is the long, hard struggle it took to get back to the top. So buying a Ship will just never sit right with me. Plus, Urban will never be “our” guy. We’d be his sloppy 3rds behind Florida and Ohio State. No thanks.

 

Now, as to this nugget KD dropped today which caused a complete shit storm on twitter:

 

 

He’s right. There is a huge strain in the Herman/CDC relationship. Which obviously stems from CDC wanting to fire his ass and hire Urban. And really, there’s no way their relationship can come back from that. It’s definitely a “can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube” type of situation. Except if you do one thing and one thing only — WIN.

 

And to Herman’s credit, he won Saturday. Don’t tell me this doesn’t look like a guy who knows he’s a loss away from being canned:

So much teasing, so much trolling....I will eat crow if the the Pope gets hired but all these “leaks” and “intel” seems like so much stuff and nonsense at this point,... except perhaps to light the final fire under the mensanator.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it would be great and work out well if we got UM this year, just doubting the “sources”.

If Fleck's name is even being uttered by any non-spineless BMD's we have a huge fucking organizational issue. Herman is a better coach than Fleck ffs.
If he stays our coach he will have an uphill battle to salvage recruiting...a transition year level class in year 5 without a coaching change isnt going to help anything.

It's already crumbling and sliding backwards, however, not sure how things would improve even w/ top 5 classes if the same parasite is HC.

He absolutely does.  That's the model and the pitch. 

Tell me about Tom Allen

Matt Campbell still losing composure on sidelines as evidenced by baylor game right now.

Hope he stays at Iowa State for awhile... a job like Michigan, Penn State or TEXAS right now might be too early in his career.   (like Mensa to UT)

Ageee 100%. He’d recruit lights out, would develop that talent and produce a ton of NFL draft picks attracting more talent. He is young and coach us for the next 20 years and make us into a monster. If we are serious about winning, Cristobal is who we need to hire if Urban says no.

I have heard that argument being made. I don’t get it. Is he the highest paid coach in college football? No, we can offer him to come back to the South where is from and he’d be able to recruit Texas and Florida. You can’t beat that. Texas is still a better job

Ruban Yemer is a damn good choice.

oh shit, can we make him an offer?

Freeze is becoming a big name again with the success he's had at Liberty.. Wonder which AD/Admin say fuck it and pulls the trigger on him
