If you were CDC for a day

[zion3d]

Lets assume you are CDC playing a game of chess.  The chess board is the University of Texas,  The pieces are the head coach, staff, football program, recruiting, BMD's, The Eyes of Texas, and the fans.  At your discretion you can assign who is who on the board for this scenario. 

Let's say your king is in trouble.  What is the move that you would make to protect the king which is a defensive posture and then to win the game which is an offensive posture?  You have to play the percentages out in your mind as some moves don't have guaranteed outcomes.  A certain amount of risk and strategy should be applied.  I know the mantra has been fire TH and UM, but remember that this is a chess game with a lot of moving pieces so there are things that must be weighed before making a move. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this even though its all an act in futility.  What do you consider check mate to mean?

The answer to the title is .....i'd fire Tom Herman and hire Urban Meyer.

Urban Meyer

What I was going for with this topic was more to the timing of the TH firing and how that would impact recruiting. Also, if a deal with Urban cannot be had who would be the #2 guy and how quick would we need to fill the position so as not to harm recruiting.  
 

My moves are as follows:

1. CDC fires TH now but contacts each recruit to have ask them to refrain from making any rash decision with their recruitment.

2.  Do a deal UM if it is humanly possible.  If not use CIA mind control technical to make him say yes.  Just kidding.

3.  Announce that Chris Ash will be interim coach and have him reach out to all recruits.

4.  If it is no bueno with UM try to do a deal with PJ Fleck which I think is more than possible.   

5.  Deal once and for all with the Eyes of Texas issue.  It must be mandatory that all athletes stand for the eyes.  Singing and hook em sign is optional. No exceptions.  If you want to attend this university that is a rule just like any other that the football department outlines.  Tradition will be respected.

6.  Have the new coach contact the recruits.

7. What do I consider check mate. 

The right coach - Meyer

The second right coach Fleck

The right rule - Respect the fan and tradition with a the eyes.

Kill in recruiting

Speak with one voice one purpose and have one vision.

If I were CDC...I would fire Shaka Smart

...and I wouldn't have extended him nor Herman after flash-in-the-pan, good-not-great seasons.

I would tell the band and football team( guess it a team) to be there for the Eyes or turn your uniforms next day. Then look for another school.
