Urban may not cost a lot more than some of the other alternatives as there is no buyout and he’d possibly keep four of the coaches. Yeah - this is the only discount talk I've seen regarding Meyer - Texas won't have to pay a buyout and Texas could save a significant chunk of money if he chooses to keep Ash and a few others.

October 20, 20205 yr If you are Urban Meyer's agent, he will cost at least what Jimbo Fisher costs annually.
October 20, 20205 yr 8 minutes ago, BurntOrange&White said: You’re still looking at paying 8-10 million annually. bucky just now said all you’re getting out Herman is excuses whether it’s covid, which effected everyone, new coaches, and etc. the reason he has 7 new coaches is because of Herman himself. and how dumb Herman says yes seeing great things from the team but no one else has basically compared Herman to aggy as well about moral victories and celebrating almost being there. Sure, but a guy like Fleck or Franklin would be looking at 6 right?
October 20, 20205 yr Just now, closetohumping said: Sure, but a guy like Fleck or Franklin would be looking at 6 right? Gotta pay their existing buyouts that I’m sure will be built into taking them since both signed extension recently. So you’d probably be looking at similar cost for less proven commodity

October 20, 20205 yr The issue with Ags and jimbo isn’t pay per year. It’s the 10 year guarantee. I hope we wouldn’t give that to any coach.
October 20, 20205 yr The issue with Ags and jimbo isn’t pay per year. It’s the 10 year guarantee. I hope we wouldn’t give that to any coach. It doesn't seem certain that Meyer wants to be anywhere 10 years, so I'd be surprised to see him push for that. I remain convinced Jimbo and his agent were trying to anchor high with the 10 year request expecting aggy to try to negotiate them down. Based on the parts of the agreement I've seen, I'd be surprised if aggy negotiated a single point. Feels like they had Jimbo's agent draft a proposal and just said "ok, looks good."

October 20, 20205 yr If Herman survived last week, I don’t see how he gets fired before the end of the season. I mean what else could realistically happen that would be any worse? If that debacle can occur (beginning with the OU game) and a week later the guy goes to the presser and talks about the team’s improvement ? Keeps the EOT issue as confused as it apparently has been all season. Anything less than a major felony, I don’t see it. Makes me want to throw up -

I saw someone mention him taking $74.5million/10 years as a joke, and I said pages ago that money isn't his primary motivator. One was a joke and the other doesn't imply a discount. We all know that whatever Meyer is, he's not a shmuck and the general tenor here has been that he'll have to get paid if Texas gets him. The Buckeye clown that was saying he "has all of the leverage" and will get a $15million/year deal was wrong, and you are as well if you think either issue is true. He doesn't possess all of the leverage. If he makes a dumbass demand, Texas will walk. A $15-$17million/year package for the entire staff and admin is different than the head man getting $15million. It's not like Herman's current staff and admin is that far off $15million right now. I think they're at something like $11-$12 but somebody with the numbers could tell us the count pretty quickly.

Things like this have so much bullshit around it until the signatures are dry that you should believe everything you want with very little real emotion attached to it. I've said all along that the odds remain against getting Meyer because of the chaotic level of variables involved. Hell, let's count a few: -UT admin being cowed by media and getting cold feet, or not -UT admin balking at money -UT AD not being ready to 86 Herman in a timely manner -UT AD knowing better and going after someone else -BMDs balking at buyout -BMDs balking at new package for UM -Other schools showing interest -UM's family winning the argument -UM deciding he doesn't feel like the work -UM deciding he doesn't like the set-up I'm sure we could count 50 more. Everything has to come together. We probably wind up with Sonny Dykes taking a Hot Carl on our program for 4-5 years.

By the time the school TV show and shoe deal are calculated in Franklin makes just over 7 million a year. So its going to cost Texas more than 6 a year to get him away from PSU. Assistant pay at PSU is much lower than current Texas assistants are making - so one of the benefits for Franklin (outside of his salary) would definitely be a better budget to pick/hire assistants.

What’s not clear to me is whether the money is lined up and whether the fire Herman decision is concrete or still in discussion. I don’t know but am guessing that the final decision is still not made and depends upon the next few weeks. More losses and looking ugly cements the decision. Eight game winning streak and looking great, I don’t know.

Jimbo and his agent — I’m sure it’s Jimmy Sexton — knew that Jimbo was trending the wrong direction at FSU. He wanted the guarantee money for 10 years. He probably thought, “If I fail at a place that has never won anything BTW and has no track record of sustained excellence, they’re gonna have to pay me to go away.”None of that exists here. Texas has won titles with the right coaches. Urban’s Ohio State program was nowhere close to Jimbo’s FSU when he left for “health reasons.” There are three coaches I’d be happy to give 10-year deals to if that was the deciding factor for them — Dabo, Saban and Urban.
