Wait, the donors (hicks) pissed Mack off caused Texas getting Saban. Doesn’t that lead to hiring Strong?No, Charlie Strong is on Patterson. Patterson pretty much blocked everybody else out.

Hearsay? Or truth?They were also the reason Saban was set to take the job and they will be the reason Urban Meyer comes. The University and Athletic program cannot do the work behind the scenes or spend the money required to buy out Herman and pay a top coach. Our boosters are definitely more involved than at some schools but when someone pours several million dollars in to an organization they are allowed, whether you agree or not, a little more latitude. By the way Saban got a bump at Bama but it paled in comparison to what he would have received from Texas. The number that was floating around was $10 mill a year plus partial ownership in a Texas Boosters business that would have given him an additional $2 - $3 million annually. So, yes he got an additional $2 mill out of the courtship but he left $6 million more on the table.
No. It would lead to hiring SOMEBODY. But no, there was no predestined position for Charlie Strong that spanned two ADs. There was no law passed that forced Texas to hire an individual named Charlie Strong. We had choices. Patterson, and nobody but Patterson, made that hire. smhWait, the donors (hicks) pissed Mack off caused Texas getting Saban. Doesn’t that lead to hiring Strong?
Rick Flair is about as accurate as it gets on this subject. I would let his posts stick in that noggin.Hearsay? Or truth?
they better be careful or they’ll cost Texas another proven coach.
It was the BMDs that gave Texas a chance to land Saban.BMDs didn't cost Texas Saban.
Is there a difference in Hearsay or Truth before it’s official? $12-13 mill had the deal done.Hearsay? Or truth?

I don't disagree. In my book, each of the next three (possibly four) games is a fork in the road. I just don't know if CDC sees it that way.UT's recruiting is even worse for Herman than it looks. We have 19 recruits right now. We have 10 four or five star players and eight of those are on defense. The offense on the other hand have seven out of the eight recruits are on offense. The other recruit is a punter.
Ash is doing his job recruiting by getting four star recruits. The offense is Herman's responsibility and offensive recruits are saying that they don't trust him..
A fork in the road moment has arrived for Tom Herman

It is, however, amusing that Woke Tom Herman thought the real power at UT is as left-leaning as the administration. Yet another tactical error that mirrors his game-planning most weeks.Herman got political and failed to develop players. Two reasons to stick a fork in him.
Today is pivotal with ISU playing well. They'll be fired up today at DKR.I think we defeat ISU. I don't know, I just feel a win coming. But I don't think we beat OU. They've become considerably better than they were when we played them.
You would. lolI love the amount of people on here who think if Herman was undefeated, the boosters would give two shits about how he handled Black Lives Matter or The Eyes. If Herman was undefeated and there was talks of a possible CFP appearance, he could have screamed BLM after ever to interview and he would be fine and they would accept it. If he had a better overall record here, the same would be true. This is about winning. If Herman had done more of it, he would be safe. Anything else is punditry from people who think they know something.
Aranda is the better coach. He's just doesn't have the talent that TH has had.There are probably three coaches in the Big XII that Herman can say he is better than as a coach. Les Miles, Matt Wells and maybe Aranda. That’s not good for us as one of two blue bloods in the conference. Hopefully he’s given notice on Monday. Get this over with.
