We freely gave an extension when there was no reason and burned that money. Let’s use reason and cut bait with a failed coach.

Rich BMDs didn’t get rich loosely spending their money. They pay for quality. If UM is available you give a blank check. Not so much for a lower tier coach.
Make no mistake about it, the talk among BMDs (big money donors) is that change is on the way, come hell or high water. The talk is emphatic, defiant and cocksure.
I’ll believe it when I see it.What part of this are you not getting?:
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Then these “BMDs” aren’t who they think they are.We likely won't "see it" because CDC is terrified of making such a move. Not because the BMDs won't fund even a "lower tier" replacement.
I’ve seen talk the President and BMDs follow recruiting. That rings hollow for me currently. See how it plays out.Then these “BMDs” aren’t who they think they are.
What’s Herman doing in 5 years IYOHey, I'm #teamchange. You don't have to convince me.
Sorry, but we’ve heard that for what seems like 10 years now. At some point you are what your record says you are. Love the dude...but it’s time to move on.But, I continue to wonder how long it's been since we saw a healthy Sam.
When Gus was fired I asked an Auburn fan who might not be BMD but who I think gives a decent amount to Auburn football what he thought about our pursuing Malzahn. He said, "You could do worse. Competing against Nicky is tough. I'd still look elsewhere."Not for me.
If so it will likely be the only thing fun that has happened this entire season.You’ve made that clear in every thread you post in. It’s going to be fun to remind you how poor of a read you had on the situation when he’s fired in the next couple of weeks.
A few weeks ago you posted a list of your top 5 "realistic" (I believe that was the term, or something close) possible HC replacements...I know you had Harsin on it, and I think Elliot was on it. I want to say the other 3 were Franklin, Campbell, and Sarkisian.I'm coming around Elliott for the very reasons why Urban isn't keen on the college game. The dude is all about the hustle and this sport is about to be a serious hustle.
It's hard for me to come up with names because this has to be based in some sort of reality.
I suppose Kelly would be right up there because he's a guarantee on the box.
He'll be a head coach at a school like Louisville.What’s Herman doing in 5 years IYO
I never assume anyone at Texas thinks remotely like I do.A few weeks ago you posted a list of your top 5 "realistic" (I believe that was the term, or something close) possible HC replacements...I know you had Harsin on it, and I think Elliot was on it. I want to say the other 3 were Franklin, Campbell, and Sarkisian.
Harsin is now off the table. Assuming a change gets made, do you believe the next HC is going to be one of the remaining 4?
Texas could do worse. That I 100-percent agree with.When Gus was fired I asked an Auburn fan who might not be BMD but who I think gives a decent amount to Auburn football what he thought about our pursuing Malzahn. He said, "You could do worse. Competing against Nicky is tough. I'd still look elsewhere."
He always comments in understatement unlike many comments by OBers here. I take that as a No Go suggestion.
Do you remember the article I am referring to? Was this the 5 "realistic" candidates that you most preferred, or the ones you thought UT was looking at?I never assume anyone at Texas thinks remotely like I do.
That must have been EARLY 80s.
There was nothing better in the 80’s than hearing Hall and Oates in the video game arcade while blasting shit up on Stargate, Robotron and Tempest...good times.
That must have been EARLY 80s.
Correct...the glory years of the arcade era. Hall and Oates were monsters at that time. Really miss those days sometimes...
I really liked the Harsin hire.
They were one Harsin second-guess away from a complete and total disaster. @RLong68 seems to believe talk of other offers was all smoke but respected guys like Thamel and Feldman reported that Napier and Venables turned down the job, among others. I don’t know what direction they would have gone if they missed on Harsin.
that’s the risk.
Texas should no better than anyone in the country now that you do not want a Charlie Strong. I’m fully convinced Mack would have had a better record 2014 through 2016.

LOL. I mean, it's always just to spin thing. I never said Harsin was or wasn't Auburn's first choice. I simply said you can't believe every single report of Coach So and So turning down a job. We don't know who did or didn't get a legit offer. I mean, just because Auburn has the nerve to inquire about a HC services or even interview a HC, it doesn't mean they were "offered" the f'n job.
I'm coming around Elliott for the very reasons why Urban isn't keen on the college game. The dude is all about the hustle and this sport is about to be a serious hustle.
I like Sam. A lot. However, it's time to move on. Simple as that.
In my opinion there is a difference between what Auburn247 or Football Scoop or random Twitter guy reports, and Thamel and Feldman,who are usually pretty nails on this stuff Hook Em
Oh, of course. But, Tony Elliott is a perfect example of someone that I would look at that Texas will never look at right now.Do you remember the article I am referring to? Was this the 5 "realistic" candidates that you most preferred, or the ones you thought UT was looking at?
I still favor Mario Cristobal, but I guess that ship has sailed. I also think Texas will regret it.
