Haha hell no!! Is that what the rumor is?? I was thinking around the 5 mil. mark. 8 is pretty steep for anyone much less an up and comer that shows a lot of promise. Gotta make them earn it. This world is messed up, good grief.
Chip Brown reporting Tom Herman to LSU
- Thread starter Russell Westbrook
- Start date
It is a scrolling now that if Herman is not available that fenves reported chances of keeping Strong just went up.
$8 million is steep for Herman. But, we paid Strong $15 million for irrelevance and core values.
If the BMDs want to pay $8 million for Herman, I'm ok with that. I'm not ok with paying Strong $10 million more & watching 2 more years of the same Texas football.

I bet your ass is nasty, so I'll pass. No matter how much I disagree with decisions at UT, I will NEVER stop supporting them. I despise fans like you. I don't care how long you have been on this board. I wasn't a Texas fan until I was 18. I hated them. Then I put 8 years into that school, served as president of my local alumni chapter, and I bleed orange. I always will. Take your t-shirt off, leave this board, and go support the Aggies. We don't need fans that don't support the school, even in down times.
Again. Doesn't make me a strong supporter. Your just wrong on that. Herman has been the boosters hand picked guy since October of last year and we all know it. I just don't think that's the best way to solve this issue.
For example let's say Dabo or Jon harbaigh is interested and I can get them for 9 million a year. Why would I give Herman 7-8? Maybe they aren't interested but wouldn't you like to find out?
Wednesday Fienbaum was reporting the bidding would start 5 years at 8 mil per.
Between Chip, Charlie, and Perrin, I don't know who has any cred in their current job.
I saw that too. What were Strong's chances of staying before today? .01% chance? So today, Strong's odds of staying increased to what? 1% chance? This is non-measureable reporting.
I don't see how he gets less than 7. He's have no reason to leave Houston for less than that.
We are all Texas fans. Let's relax. Wait until the game is played tomorrow and see what McRaven has to say as well.
Chips report says the deal could be done "as early as Saturday. They are waiting to see what Texas does. Pretty obvious.
I pray that Strong is replaced this season, with a coach that will be more successful at Texas than Mack Brown.

Kind of my thinking as well.

You are right. It makes no sense for Herman to take a job before Houston plays their last game. Talking about it during half time.
They are blasting LSU for not giving orgeron a chance. How far we have fell that we are hoping just to get to a bowl game with a 3rd Year coach.
It seems that Texas needs to lose tomorrow to solidify Strong's departure. That demonstrates the Texas administration's incompetence and/or having no desire to win.
Someone explain why Herman needs to be the highest paid coach in college football.
We , meaning SC Trojans, play Texas next year and personally, I was hoping Tom Herman would be coaching the Longhorns.
I think Strong needs to go but I am not going to reach for Herman. I think there are better options out there
Totally agree, this crap is out of control. I'm jealous as hell, I can't lie.
Higher than Saban, Meyer, and Harbaugh ? After 2 real solid seasons as a HC ? This is just insanity at its best. Good Lord !
