Completely ignored a Bohls question about his job security and if he received assurances about it from the conversations this weekend with CDC. Basically just said he’s focusing on Kansas State. 

I still think Herman is gone but I'm starting to feel a lot less confident about it.

Yes, this is absolutely accurate. Chris is more than willing to call recruits and let them know he has let Herman go and will be announcing a great replacement shortly.

lol... talks about players getting ready for KState after disappointing loss, says basically these players have lost before, sometimes multiple games in a row and they come out ready for the next game. 

Nutshell, they have a lot of experience in coming out after disappointing losses...

Nothing makes you feel better about your football program than having the head coach tell the press that the AD will call recruits to let them know he is keeping his job.  What a shitshow.  Recruits gotta be calling in their flips and decommitments now.

I mean, what else is he going to say? He's not gonna come right out and say anything contrary like "yeah, Chris told me I'm out at the end of the season. He has no confidence in me." He's such an arrogant prick he's gonna act like he's resurrected this program from the ashes and we're on the right track (even though in reality he's been here 4 years and we're hardly much closer to national prominence than we were in 2017).

Tom, the problem is that you play shitty teams close.

still propping up the OT win vs Tech and vs osu lol

LOL FCB with a salty question..  about his 70% staff turnover

The woman reporter really reinforced some stereotypes with that pathetically vaginal question.

That was pretty uneventful all things considered. Media asked some pointed questions and Herman dodged them as you would expect. Nothing to see here yet. Yet.

What has become apparent is that the skillset to win at a place like Iowa State is not the same skillset needed to win at Texas.  Evaluating and coaching up lightly recruited players is so, so different than managing a team of kids who have been treated like football gods their entire lives.  Campbell MAY have both skillsets, but these "look what he's doing in Ames, imagine what he'd do in Austin!!!!" takes are meaningless.

Talking about Campbell's record at ISU is about risk. Nothing is guaranteed, but all things considered, more information is better than less. UM is as close to a sure thing as a coach can be. He can absolutely win a championship here. It would be an anomaly if he didn't at least make the playoff. That's not true of any the other candidates. For them, we have to make a decision based on the information available. Campbell now has 10 years of experience, which makes him a relatively known quantity compared to Fickell or Napier or others with limited experience at a lower tier. Compare that to what we knew about Strong and Herman when they were hired. Campbell has shown he can jump a level and still win (from Toledo to ISU) and that he can win without a stud QB, a senior laden team, etc. He's doing the ISU equivalent of reloading. That doesn't seem all that impressive in terms of wins and losses, but compare that to Saban at MSU.

God is not gods name. It's pseudo-religious virtue signalling just like typing bleep. 

That press conference just told me everything I needed to know. 
Tom Herman was meeting with Kendra Scott not because of something nefarious, but only because he was having a Gold Grill custom made for CDC.

He paused a bit before answering the question. Stripper and cocaine fetish confirmed

Chip Brown?  Just ignore her.

Mack was out laying out on a beach in florida err i mean recruiting when he got fired so all that is ad bullshit till he gets fired after the last game. CDC know if he keeps herman there will be a mass exodus from season tickets and hopefully donor support.

Meyer is in play until he makes a public thanks, but not thanks statement.  In the meantime, some of you lose your shit over the strangest things.  I don't know why it still surprises me after all these years.

God help us but Ketch made a decent point - by not firing Herman today you give Meyer the week to make his decision and you don't have a situation where Urban is on the Fox set having to answer questions about an open Texas job.  Much easier to decline to answer if the Texas job isn't open yet.

kstate game being televised on Fox. 

Fox would love to be the venue where Urban accepts the job at Texas on live TV.

It's going to be happening...

That's actually a good point.  We don't want two buyouts, one from Fox and one for Sperman

Unless Herman asks CDC to call a recruit in the next 36 hours, this means nothing. Herman is gone, fairly imminently, and CDC would delay calling recruits until he informs Herman of the real news.  Which he may already have done. It was a curious comment, but it came from Herman, and I put no stock into it. 

"Son, if Herman gets run over by a train tomorrow and can never coach again in his life, I personally promise Texas will deliver the best coach money can buy within the week."

- Urban isn't coming

- Herman will unfortunately be the HC next year due to money

- This fanbase needs to quit getting ahead of itself and stop cheerleading based off Twitter posts

It is media articles, not twitter posts. What is the fanbase supposed to depend on? Whatever you say?

In any case I have no clue is Urban is the next guy. I just know Herman needs to go. If somebody thinks another terrible decade is what is going to make the most money, since you seem to think that is a brilliant business decision, then by all means keep him around. He knows his is gone, he has checked out, so the whole program suffers every day he remains.

In any case I have delt with the past decade as well as being a fan of some of the worst pro teams in the United States so I will have no problem dealing with whatever.

user name checks out.

How in the hell did that conversation go?

Phone rings:

CDC: Hello

TH: Hey Chris, just wanted to run a few things by you.

CDC: Who is this?

TH: Hey Chris, come on man, it’s me.

CDC: No hablo con putos

TH: Come on Chris, please cut me some slack,  press conferences are hard, recruiting is hard, keeping these little bastards hydrated is hard.Can you just throw me a bone, and let them know we’re still tight.

CDC: ”Click”

phone goes silent....

TH: Chris....Mr. DelConte... Sir, you there?

Has it only been 56%? It seems like it is 90%.

What was that Herman said about if there were more opt-outs they would have already happened?  IT is reporting that Caden Sterns is opting out for the rest of the season.  No idea if its for the draft or if he plans to come back next season.  Wonder if it depends on who is the coach.

The draft?  Wax guy laughing uncontrollably dot gif.
