    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

can the people voting for fickell over cristobal explain why?  one recruits at an elite level and has won a conference championship in a P5 conference.  the other is fickell

Just now, Dr. Beeper said:

No. That offense is Reid’s and he’s done nothing to show he can build a college program. This is also why I’m not enamored with Kyle, as dumb as that fucking suggestion is. 

Very odd comment. Is this an appropriate time to remind the board just how much of a Charlie Champion you were?  Weren’t you the last idiot holdout?

I quit whenever the Kansas game happened like just about everyone. 

I fear that if we can't get Urban we're going to go for a 3rd straight Group-5 Flavor-of-the-month coach. Strong looked good for 2 years at UL. Herman looked good for 2 years at UH.  Both turned out to be Fool's Gold. 

Please No NO NO NO!!!:

  • Kalani Sitake BYU (9-0)
  • Jamey Chadwell  - Coastal Carolina (8-0)
  • Doc Holliday  - Marshall (7-0)
  • Huge Freeze - Liberty (9-1)    (he was 12-25 at 5 years at ole miss)

In a similar way, I don't like the idea of giving a coordinator his first shot. We're Texas dammit.  Go start your head coaching career at UTSA.  I want an experienced coach.  

If Urban is off the table, the list gets really hard:

  • Fickell is at least on his 3rd good year at Cincinnati.
  • Brian Harsin - 68-18 at Bosie St. 
  • ???? Is there no one else?

Before we fire Herman, we need to know that Urban is available and willing.

I don’t know. How long does it take you to sweat out the retard?

Man, you seriously get your feelings hurt on a website over a hypothetical coaching search? And you're calling someone else a retard?

Someone in the PNW. Either Petersen or Harsin.

 

I really hope we don’t have to go to our second choice though. It’s really Urban or nothing

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

I'd be down with that.  I know he probably has three NFL offers but would they all pay 10 mil?

Just now, Dr. Beeper said:

No hurt feelings here pal. I just don’t like my brethren making unrealistic suggestions that make us look stupid. 

Take a break from the internet. You're taking this shit way too seriously. 

Pretty disappointed that committing seppuku isn’t an option cause that’s the route I’d probably go

I don’t see Harsin coming here. He had a good look at the UT coaching environment/expectations when he was here before.

Winning the Pac 12 over who?  USC? UW?  eh.  and I would be ok with Cristobal.  He coached under Saban, is ambitious and has deep Florida roots. If you want a drawback, Burton said we wouldn't even make an attempt because of the Nike thing. 

 

Fickell, someone has to tell me why he's better than Tom?

That was when Powers, FAt Dog, Mack, Deloss and major were here.  All are gone.  WE fucked over Harsin.  Apparently took the aSU job sight unseen.

 

Not in the poll, but Herm Edwards?

I'm ok making Urban the highest paid football analyst on the other guys staff if he doesn't want to head coach.

I’m good with Harsin if Meyer is not an option. 
 

Billy Napier wouldn’t be a terrible 3rd option - though I expect he’s already on his way to South Carolina. 

I guess I’m in the minority but Harsin wouldn’t excite me at all.

Just saying, usually a less than desirable experience somewhere will stay with you regardless of whatever “new and improved” package it’s being marketed in. Especially when you’ve moved on to comfortable success elsewhere.

Harsin or Campbell.  Whittingham if he were 5 years younger.

Herm gone, whether Urban comes or not.  the money ain't forking over shit while he's here.  Over

He wouldn’t excite anyone. Only Urban excites. Harsin would provide competent winning coaching. The only excitement is that Herman would be gone. 

This is where I am. Only Meyer has the track record and name to possibly make some inroads on this disaster of a recruiting cycle. He’s the only name on this list anyone under 22 gives a fuck about, otherwise they’d be committed to them....

We will probably hire a costly search firm that will recommend that we interview Norv Turner, Jeff Fisher,  Gary Barnett, and Dan Hawkins.  Neuweasel is rested and ready and Houston Nutt is itching to make a move.  Does Bret Beilema still have a hot wife?  Jimmy Johnson could fish on Lake Travis.

Gonna pass on Whittingham.  Herm clowned him last year

Don't mind me just offering some suggestions if the powers that be fuck up the Urban hire

If not Urban, I’d just hire Jeff Traylor and see how it goes. If Texas hires Freeze (LOL) I’ll lead the protests. 

I still am not sold CDC has the money to fire Herman, despite all obvious reasons to do so. Do most boosters care enough to pay off their golden child?

Yeah, that was end-stage Mack.  I have no real reason to believe he harbors any resentment or ill will toward Texas itself.


i could get behind Joe Brady should the stars align.

He might be handsome but let’s stay on topic shall we?

But seriously, not as a head coach. That’s a terrible take.

Any other time, I would say Jeff Traylor would be a slam dunk, but this ain't the time.  Traylor would be like hiring McWilliams.  Got to go big.

He plays to win the game, so definitely a different direction from Tom Herman.

51-54; Fickell has followed the normal trajectory of a successful coach. Shit 1st year then winning in 2nd year, he's mostly beat the teams he's supposed to beat

You're really including his W-L record when he was at FIU? Lmao. He's 24-7 as a P5 head coach, with a Pac-12 title and a Rose Bowl win in just his second year.

🤷‍♂️ The order's somewhat interchangeable. Cristobal is higher-risk because of the shenanigans he gets up to on the recruiting trail.

For the record, I'd comfortably prefer Cristobal over Fickell..

But if I'm gonna assume an anti-Cristobal position, I'd say it's at least a little concerning they barely mattered on a national stage last year with Herbert at QB. And based on what we've seen in 2020, it's not super likely a QB that good rolls through Austin in the next 20 years.

At what other time would Jeff Fucking Traylor be a “slam dunk” hire for the University of Texas? In some hypothetical world where he’s already won a national championship or two?  Or is there another time when hiring the head coach from the University of Texas at San Antonio would be a “slam dunk” hire for us?

I don’t understand the fascination some folks have with Jeff Traylor.
