So how did things break down between Del Conte and Herman again? I think I read it had something to do with Herman telling a reporter that Del Conte had not instructed him to have the team stay for the Eyes when that was not the truth, but I am not certain that is correct.
It's a string of things that happened together.

a. It started with the demands that Herman was perceived to help cultivate with the march in the summer. The Eyes thing that followed was seen by alums as something Herman helped created and CDC didn't get in control of.

b. Obviously, the OU game fisasco falling directly after the TCU game fiasco was another set of events that CDC felt Herman should and could have prevented. Neither man has truly answered questions about the miscommunication and directives from this stretch of time.

c. It's out in the universe that CDC felt that criticism of his job performance was a plant by Herman, which is how three head coaches were all allowed to put out statements on the same day supporting Herman and undercutting their coaching colleague. The feeling was this was set up by CDC as a response to the "hit" he felt Herman put out.

It's basically a lot of drama.
 
Sure. As I said above, I hear $8mm is number, but that is not the issue.

They’re not even talking about the money. They’re just trying to convince UM and his family to pull the trigger.
 
This all makes me nervous. Sure, All in on UM, but still feels a little like a pipe dream to me as boards like this seem to be only ones really making it sound possible.

so if no UM, and you say Cristibol or Matt Campbell aren’t splashy enough hires and 95 pct of fans are disappointed if not UM than what?

who are these splashier back up hires that are mentioned?

The silence should tell u all u need to know about the plausibility of UM. Let it play out.
 
Tonight’s column makes me nervous Urban may not take the job. I was feeling more confident in his desire to be the UT coach a few weeks ago after reading your commentary.
 
Christiano Ronaldo is number 1. Champions League all time goal scorer and assist leader with multiple clubs. He should have won the 6th Balon d’or the Modric World cup year. He’s a machine
No slight at his current ranking.
