I know everyone wants Urban but what happens when he says no, any thoughts on Klieman at K-State? He looks like he’ll be a big program coach in the near future.

Wouldn’t that also be a shot at Ryan day?  Isn’t he still calling plays?

Urbs mentioned that Day has an OC (Kevin Wilson) that can handle it if Ryan wants to lessen his playcalling responsibilities.

During interview on LHN a few minutes ago, Herman didn't bother to wear a tie... Dude might be close to this...

Fucking dork, at least put “FIRE TOM HERMAN” on it

I don’t like doing this type of thing, but what the hell.


I don’t have any sources within the program etc..., but do talk to various sports media folks with different pro/college connections that’ll give me nuggets about various different things from time to time, and I was given some info. Mostly “duh!” type stuff we’ve already heard and speculated, but sharing because I trust the guy, so just another log added to the fire. TIFWIW:

1. Herman has “fallen out of favor.” with admin.

2. Urban “wants it.”

3. Paraphrasing, but UM doesn’t like Herman. Thinks it all went to his head. Got lazy. I took that as not only now, but also while still coaching under UM.

4. UM loves all of his other assistants.
(Me: Tom seems to be the exception)

5. I won’t give the direct quote, but according to PJ Fleck himself, in a casual setting, straight to my guy: he’d jump at the job. Related: No info or speculation on Fleck or any other secondary options from the Texas side.

Outside of the Fleck stuff, I know it’s nothing we haven’t speculated/heard, but like I said, another log on the fire and from a guy I trust, and know has connections. I’m guessing he lucked into the Fleck encounter, but he puts in some work.

I like Fleck, but he seems like the kinda guy who'd let his aspirations be known.

I'm sure it will have a huge influence on the roughly 17 people in attendance

This is all that should matter. Get it done.

Seems like there is a dumbass portion of the  UT students that know no history and should stick to tiktok for their news. Jmo. The EOT is done. It’s not racist. It’s a shame.

No way, really? He'd jump at the opportunity to coach at Texas over Minnesota?

C'mon man...

Hadn't really thought about it this way but we sort of have post-2009 Mack, except without the good stuff that happened pre-2009.

Well, it should also matter whether it’s just made-up nonsense on a message board, or not. Which it is.

[emoji2371] should be obvious. But I like hearing shit.

Is it wrong to hope if we lose the next few weeks that it’s a long and painful loss without lube?   All so this can get the wheels in motion. Asking for a few Surly friends of mine.

If I were making it up, it’d have sounded a lot cooler, and would make up shit that hasn’t already been said and speculated. Like that Urban is being hologram’d into the halftime show set because he’s already in Austin.

Be a lot cooler if you did...(make it up)

So it appears we can pencil in a loss to Kstate. So with the loss to at least one of Iowa St or Okie Lite, that’s 5-4, right?  At best?   

So if we really dig down deep we can defend our Texas Bowl title.  

I worry the Eyes kerfuffle could keep UM away. Why come here and have to deal with it?

With an aligned CDC and UM, there wouldn't and won't be an Eyes kerfuffle.

I guess “Leaving for the Locker Room before the Eyes of Texas is not Our Standard” was too long?

Don’t blame him one bit. Beats the shit out of Gainesville and Columbus.

The list of places that don't is pretty short.

“Just stand there assholes”was kinda ambiguous. 

lol @ giving up 30+ to this trash TCU team and fucking losing. 

Fire him in the tunnel.

Mid first quarter and I already have to switch to liquor..squad looking good Tom, you mother fucker

2 weeks to prepare for an opponent that has been fighting the Rona, and we look like a better dressed version of the same ol shit.

Can’t fire him this offense is unstoppable

FIRE HERMAN AT HALFTIME TODAY...
Why you hate the second quarter?
