Why in the world would ask Jerry about anything having to do with football? When it comes to winning football, he is the ultimate Village Idiot.This is why you make bigtime hires when you're a bigtime program. It's one thing to take a chance on an up and comer. Its another to keep doing it.
When you have a chance to make a bigtime move you take it. Worrying about optics doesn't count in sports. Just ask Jerry Jones how that worked out when he caved to the pressure and passed on Randy Moss.
Texas needs to win now. Everyone around them is kicking their asses one way or another. Texas football doesn't even matter in its own state, forget nationally. That can easily change pretty much overnight
insert GIF of NY Jets football player saying “Damn Right!”I think an Urban hire shakes stuff up.
I’ve been on this board since the early 2000’s and the house of cards you’re building up here is epic and WWE worthy.
I’m not saying you’re the cause, but you’re the kindling. I understand it; posters click F5 and frantically read post after post, waiting for confirmation the messiah is coming to save the program, but it’s all a tease—a real estate agent looking for houses in Austin, a suggestion that no mention of Texas on a Fox pre/post game is meaningful, etc...it’s all a farce.
We haven’t even fired our current coach yet at a cost of over $15 million during a global pandemic where we just let go of a number of full-time athletic staff. That, in itself, is a monumental problem, much less spending another $80 to $100 million for one of the greatest coaches of all time.
I love Texas, I’m a second generation alum, but the expectations here are not realistic, IMO. And Ketch is just fueling the fire. Granted, I might too if I owned the site, but let me be the voice of reason and practicality—UM to Texas isn’t happening. Just trying to add some practicality to this nonsense, as some of us have been around here long enough to remember histoey
Cristobal is an upgrade...
(Buy) He'd immediately make Texas a threat for a top-five recruiting class in 2022. He's Tim Brewster in the form of a head coach.
Dkr played at ou and mack coached there.
The 10 year deal is perfect. Can’t be recruited against, gives Urban comfort of his own timeline. He isn’t leaving without becoming the first coach to win a title at 3 different schools.All right, Meyer wants a 10-year deal. He's going to need it, so 10 years, $100 million, give it to him. Get him here.
Please tell me that in giving Meyer a 10-year deal, Texas isn't going to dilute that deal with the stupendously stupid move of telling Meyer, "Come in, get everything in place, get recruiting rolling, and after three years you can name your replacement and step aside."
Meyer won't be assuming anything resembling the job he took at Ohio State. When he accepted the job in 2011, Ohio State had won five straight Big 10 championships, had played in the national championship game twice in that five-year span, and it had gone 12-1 the year before Meyer took over.
Meyer took the keys to an Enzo Ferrari, and regarding any problems he had at Florida, he was an Ohio boy coming home. Meyer used his name and abilities and kept the accelerator floored.
But he has a program to build at Texas, and a need to recruit at an elite level and do so quickly. And the negative recruiting by all the name programs that have gained a foothold in Texas recruiting is going to be relentless and brutal.
Every coach that recruits Texas is going to be telling recruits as well as their parents that they have a connection to Ohio State, and that Meyer covered up for a coach he knew was physically abusing his wife, and that it was a lot worse than ever got out on the news. And they're going to show recruits and their parents the game clip where Herbstreit comments that Meyer doesn't look well on the sidelines, and they're going to lie and say they hear on good word that Meyer's health is not good, that Texas is paying him a boatload of money to simply come in and reboot the program, and that he's not staying at Texas any more than three years, four at the most. If his health holds out that long, they'll say.
And there are going to be recruits that Texas wants, that Texas needs, who are going to listen to that, if for no other reason than they're going to get bombarded with it.
And if Meyer only stays at Texas three or four years, there are going to be a lot of pissed off people. Pissed off at Meyer. Pissed off at Texas.
And, sorry, to borrow from Tom Herman, it will be really hard for the replacement to fix that.
So if Meyer is asking for a 10-year deal, he's all in for that, right? Because if he's not, it could beautiful in the short term and ugly in the long run.
Come on name your source bro we know its Eric Nahlin or Super KLevel 2 I’m hearing 12mill 5 year deal..
That’s what TOS is reporting.Level 2 I’m hearing 12mill 5 year deal..
Good reporters never reveal sources.Come on name your source bro we know its Eric Nahlin or Super K
Well its super odd you post this literally 4 minutes after Eric Nahlin.Good reporters never reveal sources.

Which is where CDC lacks. I get it he is great at what he does, and that is raising money and being a peoples AD. Being a blue blood AD means you make the call without thinking optics. I get he wants to get Urban, but to me (and Im in a Minority) but making a move right now would tell Urban how serious we are about getting back to the top. Not just putting the check, but as an AD you are making the call, “we are no longer putting up with mediocrity”.MInimal IMO. If it was going to be done, it would have been done in the last 48 hours.
That might be the funniest buy/sell answer winner of all time. Well done!(Buy) I'm a carnival worker. I can't kill the dream that one of your shots on that crooked 12-foot rim won't ever go in.The Burnt Orange Rock said:
Texas makes the right hire and is back to national prominence within 3 years?
Well he must be talking to the same people. I don’t subscribe to any TOSWell its super odd you post this literally 4 minutes after Eric Nahlin.

We don’t know if Urban has been offered and is in the process of talking it over with his family. There will be a lot of moving parts for Urban should we land him, and until Friday, the thought of this happening was on the periphery, but not real. Now it’s real, and if Urban wants more than 48 hours to get his ducks aligned, get a physical (which I’m willing to bet Shelley will demand), cool. If he wants 10 years and $100 mil or 5 years and $60 mil, cool. Whatever it takes. Point is, we really don’t know where things stand. But it’s fun to speculate.Which is where CDC lacks.

Tom coming out tomorrow hurts recruiting more than it helps.
Again, nothing to do with Urban in itself. Big time programs make big time moves and dont give 2 fks about timelines.We don’t know if Urban has been offered and is in the process of talking it over with his family.

Is Nahlin considered credible? I don’t subscribe to any other sites outside of OB.That’s what TOS is reporting.
Yep he is spot on alot.Is Nahlin considered credible? I don’t subscribe to any other sites outside of OB.
He wouldn't actually coach ten years, it would just allow him to get the guaranteed money he is looking for without the optics of paying him 11 or 12 per year.Lol no way it’s a 10 year deal. 5-7 max, 11 or 12 per year.
And so they can't negative recruit saying he is only here 3 years or something.He wouldn't actually coach ten years, it would just allow him to get the guaranteed money he is looking for without the optics of paying him 11 or 12 per year.
you don’t know shit.Level 2 I’m hearing 12mill 5 year deal..
