This is true, the only kids that will sign early are the kids that truly wanna be Longhorns, that’s great and all but we need to recruit, in order to do that successfully we need to get some excitement in the program and get these coaches hired. We saw over the summer with all the recruiting momentum that recruiting is all about perception, and lately it’s been all bad news. We need to give these kids something to believe in. Let’s go hire the best we can and develop these guys over the summer. Those that think waiting after the bowl game to hire coaches are simply wrong, doing your homework is one thing, but being slow footed and letting opportunities pass you by is another. Can’t be lethargic and win, you’ve gotta go all out and give yourself the best chance.
Scotty Walden from USM is someone we need to look at as a OC. Dude is a fast riser and he will be big time soon. I've seen him at some clinics and his presentations are more packed than most P5 OC's presentations.
I did say I assume. No they don’t know. If they are truly considering Texas then you can only think they can wait or go somewhere else. Most kids know that the coach that recruits them could possibly not be there their entire Time in college. Those that are waiting have two opportunities to sign. If Herman doesn’t have the staff in place by NSD1, there’s always Feb
You do realize it’s not necessarily what Herman wants. The chosen candidates could say they’ll be ready to announce after their current teams bowls. That’s most likely the scenario. If it’s Harrell it’ll be announced after USC’s bowl game
I don’t care if Saban is coaching them up, if you don’t have the best players, you won’t win championships.
They go together. To get the best players, you gotta have good coaches. We had very good players this year and how has that turned out?
It’s exactly what Herman wants. For the amount of money that is rumored to be offered, he’s not going to wait for them to coach a bowl game of an 8-4 team (USC). If a coach wants to do that Herman can just move on. There’s multiple people out there that can run a highly successful offense that would take $2M per year. None of these guys come with a guarantee anyway. It’s all a risk. I’m just saying if I was making Herman’s money and wanted to continue to make that kind of money, I’d get the best possible guy hired and we’d be on a plane nonstop talking to recruits until this first signing day is past. We’ve already had several recruits decommit. Just my opinion
Coachemup knows his bussniss
Indeed. That means this is being taken seriously and I'm glad to see it. It might also mean that few even around CTH really know anything. It is nice.
This.
