They went out and got Herman. EVERYONE thought he was the hottest coach alive at the time, and we all wanted him. I'll never forget sitting there that night, reading on the ESPN ticker that LSU had beaten us to him. It was like a gut punch. But, the Texas admin went out and got their man, which is exactly like this situation.
So, you have to give credit where credit is due. And now that we're in the same situation again, four years later (except this time, just about everyone involved with the university is aligned on how to handle it), all we can do is trust the process. All of the sites have been reporting the same things. Herman is as good as gone, and Urban is on the radar.
Though, winning out and winning the Big 12 championship wouldn't do us any favors in that regard, it sounds like.
Just say a prayer to God and send an email to CDC.
Fire Herman.
Hire Urban.
