    I am looking at things like this: Tier 1 - The Job Is Yours If You Change Your Mind & We Haven't Filled It Urban Meyer - dude is a flake. Crazier shit has happened, but folks I trust thi

    I'm of the opinion that anyone mentioning rehiring Mack Brown in this thread should be neg-bombed into the abyss or outright IP banned from this site.

    In a text string with my buddies, including @SydneyCarton and @HenryJames , during & after the TCU game, we started talking seriously about getting Urban Meyer. Maybe more like fantasizing about i

Roll the dice with Fickell. More than likely we'll be back here in 4 years asking who the next HFBC will be. 

there are a lot of terrible options if its not meyer.  id rank them:

cristobal (the only decent non urban option)

bryan harsin (i guess)

pretty much no one else*

 

*all of this assuming that kyle shanahan is a pipe dream

Yeah I edited. Was reading something about auburn when I typed it

Only reason I knew so quick was cause I follow Auburn and they have Chad Morris, and it's mostly been a shitshow with Bo Nix this year

The biggest problem I have is we keep on hiring Urban's assistants, but it's clear who the magic was behind them.

While Fickell looked good this year, he wasn't great as OSU's interim coach, and he really lacks connections down here.

If we can't get Urban, we are probably in the same situation as we are now in 4 years. Might as well make it interesting and hire someone like Joe Brady.

Ryan Day seems to have the magic. Or would you consider that the same way Lincoln has the magic at ou? Like if either of those guys were at different schools, would they still be successful?

Might as well roll the dice with Fickell. He's the only one with potential that hasn't proven to not be the right choice yet. Whoever we get better have an unlimited budget for assistants and make excellent hires.

We'll find out next year how good Day actually is as the Big Ten has imploded. However, the network around OSU football is so strong that even an average coach would look good there. 

Don't care, someone cheap.  If we're gonna keep settling for slightly above average play, we should at least pay only slightly above average money. I'd rather hire a dude who is slightly underqualified and give him an incentive laden contact.  Just remind yourself that OU has hired two theoretically underqualified coaches in a row that have coached circles around our "big name" hires. 

  But the again, it's not my money.  

My first reaction is if it’s not Urbs I don’t give a shit. And I don’t think we’ll get him (please shock me CDC). I guess I’d probably pick Fickell.

Nobody, suck another year and get a better draft pick

We'd be stuck with another year of herm and I can't take that right now.  I'm in New Hope mode.

 

 

Harsin wouldn't be a bad hire

Are you fucking nuts?  Briles will never coach at Texas.

Nope.  I'd rather quit football.  Please

I don't really have an opinion other than that list is incredibly depressing.

It won’t happen and it’s almost as dumb as suggesting Saban or Dabo. The guy was in the Super Bowl last year. He’s not leaving the NFL any time soon. Why do we insist on looking like Texags?

Uhm, I left Jimmy Johnson, Parcells and Cowher out for a reason.  If we're gonna dreamcast, I think Tomlin would do well here

It asked who we would want, not who do we have a shot at. Wtf? I made it obviously clear who I would want, not who is going to come. 

Anything other than Urban means we are likely doing this again in 3-5 years. Seems extreme, but there’s nobody else out there worth being confident in.

Give Urban whatever he wants.

No Texas fan is desperate enough to hire Art Briles.  Art Carney or Art Linklater would be more  likely.  Fuck him, Mt. Vernon, Jeff Lebby, Casey Horny and all his minions.

I'm telling you its Urban or bust, other than beign able to land an NFL HC.  I could live with Harsin, Cristobal, Peterson, I guess they're better than Herman.  I can't guarantee Fleck, Fickell, Franklin are better than Herman

if we can't get Urban, for the love of god can we not pay an unproven guy $5 million a year......

You mean tank another year...

If it won’t happen then don’t mention it. If I’m being honest I’d rather have Saban than Meyer. But it won’t happen so I’ve never mentioned that. 

Well thanks for clarifying that I should do as you do, and not do as I please. 

 

Who gives a shit who I mentioned? I chose other and said who I wanted to say. I'm sorry you're up in arms over a response that you didn't like. 

Maybe we keep the turtle if we can't get Urban? I'm only half joking.  

You have Cristobal but not Freeze? If we are going gangsta then let’s keep all options on the table.

 

i could get behind Joe Brady should the stars align.

That doesn't seem like an option.  We'd lose a lot of money.

 

 

Does anyone else think Harsin could hang with Lincoln Riley?  Especially now that Mad Dog and Mack are gone?

that's where i was before today.  4 years and no conference championships is hard to justify though.

We have 2 conference championships in 24 fucking years. 

Mack Brown Texas football v2 with the same OC and DC

 

 

 

Or go get coach Boom! I loved watching the Boom era at Florida where we went back in time on offense

If they don’t get UM, IDMAS. No one else out there moves needle for me.

Fuck it. While I'm wish casting just to piss Dr. Beeper off, let's throw our hat in the ring for Eric Bieniemy. 

A black coaching suggestion is a sure fire way to piss him off
