I then strangled my friend.

Here's proof.

We can mock it but we've shown nothing in a decade to get any respect.

If these tanking hold true and we're we finish as the 4th best team in the Big 12 Herman is not the answer. Especially with a 4 yr QB..... 

Someone here said it best. Something like "We suck, until we don't".

Why not?

COULD BECKY HAMMON REPLACE SHAKA SMART?

There was one inaccuracy in this story. Texas exceeded expectations in 2018. If you want to look at predictors, FPI is pretty accurate, not a way too early top 25.

I'm of the belief that Herman needs to go ahead and make the conference championship.

Not much room for error in your fourth year with a new staff imo.

So I guess you think CDC put Herman on notice? I do too. But why not Smart as well? His buyout has got to be substantially less than Herman's.

I don't think it is. I think Shaka got his new deal right before CTH was hired. Shaka had one decent season and Patterson gave him the house.

Say things go wrong next year and Texas fires Herman, his remaining contract is still worth over $18M. I don't know if that is his buyout, I have no understanding of contract law. 

How many guaranteed years does Smart have left on his contract?

One is too many, but unfortunately many more are in play.

I would put the odds somewhere between slim and none. And the odds might actually be zero.

She's a future NBA head coach.

No argument she is highly qualified. My thoughts were strictly based on what kind of chance I thought she had of ever being hired as the head basketball at Texas.

Hand is tied for sixth and entering his third year. We should have a top ten OL next year.

On a serious note, I always thought Tennessee was a sleeping giant just like the real UT. Pruitt seems to be turning around that program.
