Assuming no Urban at this stage is wasting your time. I realize you said "we ain't gettin urban" but I also realize you really don't know that and would really conflict with what I've been hearing.
Just been reading a lot on urban. He seems to be enjoying retirement and simply being a buckeye legend.
He hates the studio. Wants back in the game. Can seal his legacy as comparable, or perhaps superior to Saban's. He loves the challenge of turning a program around. He also loves money.
Aaron, this is a sad state we're in. You know, my wife just asked me if I had a game this weekend because she wants to plan her day. She knows i watch every game and doesn't plan anything regarding me during that window. Well, she was completely taken back when I said, "yes, there is game on Saturday, but I don't think I want to watch it". She was stunned. I told her i might find myself actually rooting for the other team and I would feel sick to my stomach. Never thought in my life those words would ever come out of my mouth.
Texbound, I completely get it. I went to UT and I have my own personal opinions about the situation at-hand, but I think about the players in all of this - They deserve better and I hope they fight and claw the rest of the season for their own benefit.
Yes please for those of us surrounded by trailer park residents and not coherent Longhorn information sources other than this one.?
Hard to hear from one who I thought was one of the most optimistic members of the board. Not ready to root for the other team yet, but I hear you, buddy.
I just can't and will not root for the other team. Aaron is right, you root for the players like Sam that are giving it everything they have and you root for the name on the chest. Honestly, I still have hope the Horns will run the table and win the B12, but I'm fully bought in on not wanting Herman back. So, there is that little scenario working in my head.
Urban is in play. He ahs not said no.. It also mentioned that the main reason Herman is getting fired is not because of wins and losses etc but a major off field issue that will come to light later.
I cannot fathom the transgression such that Urban Meyer would be a step up in ethics and integrity.
I agree, Mr. Duke, but it becomes a question of ROI. Texas is set to lose a lot of money in fan and donor support with Herman. IF Meyer could turn the program around, he may very well justify his salary. I'm just not convinced he can do that because I believe the problem is more than just poor coaching. And if he is unsuccessful or has to retire again due to mental stress, what's HIS buyout going to cost? I have no doubt that the mental stress on any coach at UT has to be enormous.
