A Pre-Thanksgiving Update

[MBHORNSFAN]

Fenves is trying to go rogue. he might have put himself in serious trouble...

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Assuming the reports are accurate and Texas loses tomorrow, what direction does the university go? No Herman, Charlie fired, does Jumbo become an option? This thing can be completely different than what I thought when I woke up this morning. That's assuming all these reports are accurate... SMH..

 

[CharcoalPuppy]

Well, where do you folks think members of charlie's staff go on to coach ?

 

[java]

or, ESPN is trying to draw ratings.  Boosters have to know this is going on, and some of those Boosters are on the BOR.  Granted the BOR is partially composed of Perry appointees, but they are losing ground by the year.  I think the legislature effectively neutralized them a few years ago, in all honesty.

It is possible that Texas has found another candidate, one that has a longer resume, one of those names that you would never expect.  Or, it could be that LSU went rogue and put out the word, or possibly Herman's agent said something.  Who knows?  Not me, that's for sure.

With a win vs tcu tomorrow.... Texas

I'd enjoy it if Herman were hired, but there would always be a what if, if the staff had another year... specifically on the offensive side.

I don't think so, Big Daddy, but I've been wrong before.  Too many donors stop contributing when football is mediocre to athletics and to The University.

Lol. You must be kidding. Texas tells Herman, a UT alum, to go pound sand and chases after Jimbo Fisher as a replacement?! If/when Texas loses tomorrow, let Perrin and Fenves rot in hell looking for a coach. This is going to get very ugly.

 

[CharcoalPuppy]

Oh yeah. Happy Thanksgiving, by the way. It's been some months since I've been on the site.

It says on his Wikipedia page, that he went to Cal Lutheran. 

 

[Mike Roach]

Remember what I wrote at point number 4. Long way to go.

What I'm asking here is if in fact Herman is going to LSU and Charlie still gets fired (loses to tcu), who becomes the longhorns primary target?

Masters degree from UT.

I think Herman just laid his ace high flush on the table. Either Texas has a full house or they don't. Texas has no leverage. They give him what he wants or he goes elsewhere.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I don't think so, Big Daddy, but I've been wrong before. Too many donors stop contributing when football is mediocre to athletics and to The University.

I understand your point. I'm assuming here that the reports on Herman are true. I know, I know what happens when you assume. If we get the W, I think Charlie stays. I'm sure they'll be turnover in the staff on the defensive side, but most if not all of the offensive staff will be back.

 

[Embrey]

Herman doesn't let this info get out publicly if he wants the same thing from Texas that he received from LSU. He expects Texas to beat it. You don't rub someone's nose in it if you just want an offer.

Seriously?  Another year what if after K-A-N-S-A-S and the worst record in Texas history?

You have to be kidding.

 

[Bear19]

Seriously? Another year what if after K-A-N-S-A-S and the worst record in Texas history?

And ISU last year?

WTF

You have to be kidding.

FIFY

You have to be kidding.

 Like I said, I understand wanting Charlie gone, but I think this roster makes the jump next year.

That's just it. There are no other targets. It's either Herman or Strong next year.
