Who are your top 3 realistic choices to replace Herman?

Featured Replies

Who does CDC have relationships with? For sure Gary Patterson and some said he would’ve gone to a&m if they offered. Who else?

 

 

Im onboard to pay whatever Peterson wants though. And he comes with the strong Polynesian ties.

Why some of you think cycling in new coaching staffs every two to three years will fix anything is beyond me.  The only thing I'm accepting is that Herman is here for the rest of the season no matter how much your pussy bleeds about it.  I'm going to watch how the rest of the season plays out.

More'n likely he's here for next season, too, regardless of the kvetching.

But, hey...

Let them sing.

Hardin has experienced the Texas Spotlight and seen what that kind of pressure does to some.. While I think he’d be a good candidate I don’t know how receptive he’d be. He has it pretty good now. That said, I don’t think the job will be available until Herman fails with HIS QB.


Point taken. I do think the end of 2019 may be the end of Herman. Harsin knows the Texas spotlight but I don’t know if top program Head Coach is in his makeup. Boise will always have limitations with their conference, academics, minimal big money donors, which equals limited budget. He does seem as the comfortable 20 year coach there.

i think Herman will stay for the rest of the season , but if there isnt improvement he should be gone. he makes 5 million dollars a year and comparing the Maryland games shows me no improvemnt from the arrogant bitch so far.

 

just not going to go the low route. my bad

Totally agree.  If Strong got three years, you know Herman is.

this is the problem. boo hoo those mean ole texas fans. They are never happy..blah balh blah. pussy i tell ya.  I expect to see improvement from year to year and game to game. Losses are part of life but this languishing in mediocrity and its bullshit for a program like texas. God why some of you accept this is beyond me

I'm a grad who hasn't been to a game or bought merchandise in years. Does that mean I "accept" the current state of affairs? Like most of the rest of you, I'm sick of how we've played for nearly a decade now, regardless of the coach. But short of flying a banner, I'm not sure what more I can do to express it. Maybe if you post a template for a sternly worded letter I can send one to CDC.

Bad edit.  Surly's all about the low road.  You should've left that in.

Unfortunately for them, there are some posters on here that aren’nt old enough to know what it feels like to be by god fucking Texas!

Equally unfortunate is there are a lot of us that do and have trouble dealing with this shit we’ve been trotting out for years running now.

Matt Campbell. Guy beats OU.

And I think Surly would lose its shit. Which is fun

meh...it is what it is.

All I want ot see is improvement and I haven't seen it from Herman

 

and I do live a kickass life

 

The problem is, the college football product is so shitty these days, there aren't any coaches other than Saban and Swinney that stand out and make you say, "Oooh, we need to get that guy!"

Well, at least we have a competent AD to pick the replacement if it goes that way.

Why would Gary Patterson come to Texas?

Earning a reputation in the coaching ranks as a school where you won't be given any time to build anything will put some bigass holes in the hull.

Because he has fielded two NC caliber teams and both times he got fucked out of the opportunity to play for one because his team was in purple.

Uh.. Money.. This isn't a difficult concept. You're asking the wrong question. Why wouldn't he? 

Did you know Saban coached at Michingan State and LSU prior to heading to Bama?

He wouldn't because he's making a ton of money where he is, he's a legend where he is, he has a better program than Texas where he is, his team is more relevant than Texas where he is.

Again, why would he leave TCU?

This is true. Nobody invites a cockroach to a party.

I'll take the job. I don't know what the hell I am doing either, and I'll ask for a lot less than 5 mil

Ill be the realistic surly:

Doug Pederson

Bill Belichik

Nick Saban

Gary Patterson

Hayden Fox (most likely)

For the same reason CDC left, TCU is maxed out. Patterson can't take the frogs any higher and they are on borrowed time TCU will not survive realignment in fact they are lucky to be in the big12 at all. If Patterson ever wants to be one of the greats in all of college football to really leave a legacy  like the greats he will have to leave tcu.

Just now, BurntEyes said:

And how many championships has he won? 

Well, we certainly have the right AD to make the case that he should move, I just don't think he ever will. He's got a great thing going up in Fort Worth.

Well, coming here would certainly narrow his negative recruiting focus by a large degree, leaving him even more time to coach.

That's why he's the right guy to make the case.

I'd love to have Gary Patterson coach Texas.

I'll believe he's leaving TCU when I see it.

No UT fan wants or thinks cycling coaches every 2-3 years is the recipe for success. 

The first guy to get canned in 3 was not the answer and it only took 2 years to figure that out. he stuck with his shitty OC then had to demote him after G1,S2, and then upgraded in season 3 with worse results. 

This guy is on a similar trajectory, we will have to see what he does about the architect of this shitty offense going forward, but his hubris makes it seem more likely he won't even admit he was wrong, or worse he isn't even aware.  If this season is worse (even the same with half the B12 rebuilding) with more experience or talent at every position except punter, then he's not the guy either.  

He almost certainly gets another year even with mediocre results and then we would get a repeat of a coach trying to find assistants while on a scorching hot seat.  That's almost self-fulfilling.

You vastly under estimate the greed and ambition of a P5 college football head coach.

Not at all. I'm just not sure Gary Patterson is one of those guys.

I'd love to be wrong. I think he'd kill it in Austin.

Hire me as OC, im sure I could do a better job.  Spoiler:  I would run Ingram in the 2nd half over Porter.  And I'll do the job for a mere half what the current guy makes.  As far a recruiting goes, I'll take all the HS coaches of the hot commodities to the scrip club and show them how that works.

Why do you think he negatively recruits us so much?  he has a major crush, just doesn't want anyone to know.  Patterson would take the job for even money, though he would get quite a bit more.

Your gonna have to take me to the scrip club first so I can verify your skills at purchasing lap dances for others.

I'll start with $600 the wife beater spent will be gone passing the bar before we even sit down. From there the talents the limit.

I've no idea what makes you think he is not one of those guys. He's a head football coach for crying out loud. 

That said, we are otherwise in agreement, so I'm good with agreeing to disagree on that aspect of his personality.

Mainly because a ton of jobs at big name programs have opened up since he made TCU what it is today and he's still there.
