That's when we eat the birds. And drink snow coffee. And buyouts decrease.

 

Totally embarrassing that matt fucking Campbell goes to Austin and wins.

 

But, we have to admit that with their facilities and recruiting that rivals nobody it is expected.

 

Good job herman. 19 days to prepare at home.

Herman will finish out the season. We will play in some jerk off bowl and that should (hopefully) be it.

He won't be fired until the season is over, if then.
Which is smart so you can lose more recruits.

I'm guessing he gets let go after the last game. Ash will be interim HC for the bowl game. That is if there is one due to either not winning 6 games or bowl games getting canceled due to covid.

We're Texas.

the days of this not being a business are over.  we don't need to be the white knight letting the dead man walking, who is going to pocket 10M+, finish the season.  the players can portal or decide to quit.  the focus should be on recruiting and next year.  this year is done.  as Tom/Mensa would certainly agree  "all our goals are BEHIND us still"

If they do let him finish it's bad fucking news unfortunately.

 

Serious question, can Texas afford to buyout during the pandemic?

Money isn't an issue.  But whether Texas can afford it politically -- that's another question.  It certainly would be "bad optics" to be dropping huge sums on buyouts and hiring bonuses, while everyone else is suffering in austerity.

Hasn't stopped some other schools from pulling the trigger, though.

Yes, a shitty transition class always provides great results on the field, string 2 of those together in less than 5 years and we should win a natty really soon.

We can’t really afford not to.

In fact, we can’t afford not to. It will cost us way more not to fire him. 

I wonder if Herman's the kind of guy who'll respond to this blow to his Jupiter-sized ego by finding some humility, learning from the experience, and working his way back to head coaching gig somewhere and have some real success.

I've seen even bigger jerks than Herman manage to take full ownership of their mistakes and come out the other side as pretty impressive people.

This is true. Enthusiasm will be at an all time low next year

If we continue thinking we’re the Joneses, and operating as we have, we’ll piss away this year’s recruiting class. CDC knows this. I’ll be shocked if he lasts beyond Tuesday. 

Jokes on you, there is no 2021 recruiting class

Username checks out.

We can’t afford that. It’d be disastrous for recruiting. CDC has had nearly 2 months to get something together. 

If it goes past Tuesday, then CDC's neck is on the block too.

Jeebus TIDDYFUCKING christ but I hate this argument most of all.  FUCK the goddamn optics and do what needs to be done.

Ugh, I was so triggered by yet another concern troll about "muh optics" that I missed this turd that preceded it!  Can we afford it "politically?"  Is that seriously a concern for anyone?  Is there some cabal of politicians that are gonna come down on us like the hammer of Thor for firing an incompetent football coach, or are you just a graduate from the Randolph Duke School of Incessant Fucktardery?

This is the "We're Texas" bs we need to distance from.  Optics, high ground, doing the right thing are all in the "We're Texas" toolbox. I say bs, athletics is business, and when you are paid $5M, decorum goes out the window.  Blow him out, we whiffed, we failed, bad hire , we need to start over and do it asap.

I thought this had been debunked already. There’s no 12/1 date in the contract. Herman gets a guaranteed salary, which he will get paid unless he’s fired with cause, which he won’t be. Fire him now, fire him next month, it’s all the same. Or I could be full of shit.

Dec. 1 is also my colonoscopy. I hope it doesn't prove the highlight of the day.
