Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Beyond the point of no return...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
We should hold a virtual training session on what “Level 1” means. I have this on good authority it is needed - Level 1.
I believe he gave it serious consideration. I think at this point, Notre Dame is perhaps the only job he would consider.
They went hard core after Urban, but Eltife and Co. seem to be buying CDC's reservations about trying for anyone else.
An imperfect candidate + 24ish million in buyouts = slow the hell down it seems.
So all big talk again...... Oh well at least I finally have clarity on the Texas football program.
🤷♂️
Texas ain't gonna let itself get played twice. The optics, barring him lobbying for the position, would be a disaster.
Urban might be the best coach in NCAA history. If not him, then Saban.
No one could excite the base more.
Ha! Hey, don't dismiss that hint completely. Any chase after him would have to occur after the season.
If I were a Big Money Donor I would tell CDC that I will write the buyout check for Herman after he cuts the deal with "THE COACH" whoever that is. Otherwise don't waste my money by hiring someone else that I have to buy out their contract in two or three years.
Sell. I out the same note in the column a few weeks ago.
I think we're just trying to maximize advertising revenue.
No, it has more to do with the fact that guys like Franklin and Cristobol are having crappy seasons.
Urban isn’t the best coach in NCAA history. It’s laughable that you would even suggest that he’s the best. I can get there with Saban but no metric would point to a good argument for Urban being the best
If Clemson loses to Notre Dame in the acc championship game and knocks them out of of playoff contention do you think that could changes the odds / timeline for a possible Dabo hire. Even though it's a total longshot imo
You said history but I will give you a few in just the last 20 years. Saban, Carroll, Dabo. That’s not even digging into the history books
1) How do we look next year with Tom at the helm? Do you reasonably expect a better record, against a B12 slate that's gonna be stronger than it was this year?
2) How do we restock our talent with the 2021 decommits, and the horrible start in a 2022 class that is loaded but not interested in UT as of now?
3) Explain to me how either of the above is in better shape - whether it be next season, or any of the 3-4 seasons after - with Tome Herman at the helm.
If you are OK throwing away several seasons of UT Football, you are no fan. So I'm going to assume this is a troll job, or you were high when you posted it.
1) Yes. I do. I think losing the off-season due to COVID with 7 new coaches is the sole reason we’ve underperformed this year. Continuity in the off-season will result in a better year next year, even with a new quarterback.
2) By winning next year.
3) Because by starting over yet again, we’re just setting ourselves back even further. I’d like to give Herman 1-2 more years before pressing reset again. There’s too much at stake
I disagree on all points but that's a fair response. Hope you are right.
At this point,I would support anyone not named Herman but I think Campbell might be overwhelmed at a place like Texas 🤷♂️
This is Jackie Sherrill whips our ass on Thanksgiving in 1987 bad. Texas is on the precipice of turning into uhm just another program. Longhorn Network thanks for nothing
You really should be directing these remarks to Chris Del Conte.
You might be wrong, but I once thought the same thing about a guy named Urban when he left Utah for Florida.
