Meh, get over it OP. UM probably did us a favor and laid out areas for us to look at to do what needs to be done to get back into the Elite conversation. He did us a favor, no hard feelings. Can't hit a homerun if you don't swing for the fences
Read what a number of his former players said about him coming back to a college program. Most said he would lose half his team to the portal each year because if you were not elite he treated you like shit. I truly believe he felt his style was no longer conducive to CFBIt's an op-ed... no one knows what was in UFM's head except him, but it's odd how we supposedly offered NFL money and he had health issues, but a month later, he gets NFL money and has no health issues. I'm not going to dwell on this as I cringed at the thought of UFM coming here, but I also was willing to trade my reservations for his highly-likely success here... just glad it worked out as it did. Very excited and happy to have Sark. I also think Sark (if successful) could be here for 10+ years... we were never going to have UFM that long...

Did Urban Meyer Tell A Longhorns Lie?
In flirting with Urban Meyer, Texas 'danced with the Devil.'' His ruthlessness was the attraction ... and his ruthlessness is why UT was left empty-handed, hoping Steve Sarkisian can do the job instead.conwww.si.com
I have never been a fan of UFM (since his shady departure from Florida and the rumors and innuendos that emerged afterwards)... and then there was the "Fack" Smith issue at tOSU... he's an unsavory dude and while he may have brought more success to UT faster, I'm honestly glad we won't have him in our history.
I'm not mad or disappointed that CTH is gone... that needed to happen, but the UFM dance with UT (and especially how it played out so publicly) feels pretty orchestrated in hindsight. Glad he's all better now...

We wouldn’t have fired CTH if Meyer had not flirted, so for that I say, thank you CUM.![]()

Agree. And I still think HEALTH was a main reason I’m not coming to Texas.Tons of conjecture, opinions and guesses in that article that are stated as fact.
I'm not sure why fans get so butt hurt about Meyer turning Texas down. As best as we know, he told Texas he was willing to get back into coaching if the opportunity was the right fit. He even said as much on TV. When all the cards were laid on the table, Texas evidently wasn't the right fit. Jacksonville was. Getting upset over it just comes across as petty. Plus, it wasn't Urban who initiated the pursuit. Eltife wanted a home run and he put all the weight of the BOR behind trying to make it happen. All Meyer did was listen. That it played out in public had zero negative impact on Texas.
That's good to know. Like I said, I haven't read it.I read it as more of a Urban slam... not a slam of UT.
We got Sark.
It took the drama of Urban.
And a fumble against TCU.
And 4OT against OU.
And Iowa State and Maryland and winning is hard.
And Milroe and Brockermeyer and Ewers.
But we got Sark, and we don't get Sark without any of that.
Don't care, got Sark.
Yes... it's what we do at orangefans... are you new here?So we’re just going to take some dude’s poorly written speculative article as truth?
All I know is without Urban Meyer we should be stuck with another season with a mediocre football team.
Good clarification... thanks!I didn’t read it as a slam on UM so much as a “ Beware of what you are signing on for. You prolly won’t feel all warm and fuzzy so often, except when you are hoisting that trophy.”
You're right... and I am over it... just read the article and felt offended for 10 minutes. This is why you should always wait 24h before "reacting"...Meh, get over it OP.

I had a lot of reservations about Urban as well. Having said that when you assessed the two possibilities that seemed most likely, Herman or Urban, it was Urban that allowed UT to move forward and Herman that would have continued to place UT at a disadvantage in regard to achieving the programs objectives. Herman had become unfortunately toxic and the top recruits wanted nothing to do with him and consequently UT with him at the helm.![]()

I think/hope we dodged the bullet. I think the Sark is our Moses.....but I thought that twice in the last few years.

I do feel that Herman’s gravest mistake was alienating Urban as a mentor. You have to imagine that guys like Jimbo and Kirby are still calling Saban all the time. You have to imagine Sark is calling Pete Carroll and Saban a good amount. We have seen the flashes of potential that this team had in the 4 years under Herman. Some advice from a legend like Urban every now and then probably would have benefited Texas.

So he went to the Jags of the nfl? Don’t think I believe he is scared of anythingUM was afraid of failure at UT.
He just didn't want to deal with the BMD's and unrealistic expectations from the fan base.The health issue was always a farce. I think he just didn’t want to deal with the present day version of college football.
I tried to tell y’all a while back it wasn’t really about the medical issue, he didn’t want to come to Texas, particularly the Big 12... He thinks the Big 12 is crap conference.We wouldn’t have fired CTH if Meyer had not flirted, so for that I say, thank you CUM.
Spot on Sem'... couldn't agree more about Sark's potential. We know he's an offensive savant - especially when he has athletes.I had a lot of reservations about Urban as well. Having said that when you assessed the two possibilities that seemed most likely, Herman or Urban, it was Urban that allowed UT to move forward and Herman that would have continued to place UT at a disadvantage in regard to achieving the programs objectives. Herman had become unfortunately toxic and the top recruits wanted nothing to do with him and consequently UT with him at the helm.
You have marginal insight into the reality of Sark as it relates to where he is on his journey and who he had become at this juncture of it. Sark's story is a one of success and there was a father on here yesterday/ day before posting about the difficulties his 24 year old son was having and how he was fighting to help his son recover his life and Sark's life is proof of what can happen after someone struggles with and has their life derailed by addiction.
In listening to him (Sark) he sounds like a guy that has walked into his own life and become comfortable with himself and he is obviously a very talented coach who really paid attention and learned from everything he has experienced at all the stops that led him to Texas.
The staff is very good and finally appears to be a draw to lineman on both sides of the ball. I think collectively these guys will help Texas achieve a level of play that we have all hoped for for a long time and I am looking forward to seeing what happens with UT now. Just a couple of months ago there was not much optimism about UT football and now everyone feels a lot better about where we are and where we are going..
Tried that... it obviously didn't work. Seems that you could benefit from a little self reflection too.You need counseling.
Such a really good guy that Urban Meyer fellow.Why be mad at Urban? We went after him. All he did was listen, think it over, and ultimately said no thanks. He was supposedly interested enough to inquire with other coaches about joining his staff if he took the job. we did everything we could and threw crazy money at him so he took a few weeks to think on it. Whether he came to the conclusion that he had accomplished everything he wanted in college ball or that Texas was just a shit show and he didn’t want to be a part of it, he did us a favor and let everyone think publicly that he had to decline due to health/family reasons.
If he was really fckng with us he’d have taken another college job. This was a calculated move. He doesn’t like where college game is headed and the only way he gets mentioned in the same breath as Saban is if he wins in NFL.![]()
