Chip Brown on the radio this morning (OC related)

[gecko]

I know this will blow some people's hair back......but I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL comes calling for Strong in 5 or so years (assuming he has sees a lot of success at Texas). If I were an OC with HC aspirations.....I would keep that in the back of my mind.

I would like for Herman to be named OC at UT, but my "common sense" brain is telling me it doesn't make sense. Herman may have coached briefly in the state of Texas, but he was born in Ohio and makes $555,000/year at Ohio State. Seems like he is in a really good spot and should be getting HC job offers in the next 2-3 years. Ohio State pays over 3.4 million for their assistants and would think UT poaching their OC would be very difficult.

Makes sense, but so does Chip Brown's reasoning for him possibly wanting to leave. Myer is an offensive guy and gets a lot of credit for the success of Ohio State's offense. With Strong being more defensive-minded, being the OC at Texas might give Herman more of a chance to showcase his offensive coaching abilities. FWIW anyways.

If he is successful here that wouldn't surprise me. NFL teams look to college coaches a lot when they have openings. Not saying he would bolt for a NFL job but I bet he would listen to what is offered.

I'm really getting tired of this crap. OB has been right quite a bit and in fact were the first to report we interviewed Strong and Franklin which got ridiculed on this board at the time. I'm pretty sure every other site, including this one btw, has been wrong at times in it's reporting of the coaching search. Might have something to do with the fact that many candidates are involved and something might change during the interview process.

Actually that beingreal twitter guy had Strong, before any of the websites did.

Makes you wonder why Mack never was a candidate for an NFL job. Perhaps due to the perception of not being an X and O guy.

I have wondered that myself in the past. I always thought that maybe he wasn't interested in the NFL.

 

[J.B. TexasEx]

says he's hearing Herman from OSU might be the guy.

Great! Word is, he's making $550k at tOSU. We should be able to reel him in for $750-880k.

Get it done

And that's a pretty big if too. I don't see why he'd leave a good thing there. But maybe he hopes to use this program as a stepping stone to greener HC pastures.

I'd love to see him here, even if for only a few years. Hook'em.

Failing to consistently win championships with far superior resources, glad handing, clapping, sucking up and relentless excuse making with zero true coaching ability does not impress the NFL.

You just described about half of the coaches in the NFL!

I'm not sure I'd be tooting the horn on "first to report an interview" - that's a rather low standard and no one thought Patterson would get through this without talking to Strong anyway.

It's always interesting to see who shows up in the regular HornSports bashing threads over there.

Chip has learned to be very good about not reporting things unless there is truth to it IMO! He does countless source checking and is respected enough in the community these days to get the scoop and the truth. If he feels it's not accurate, I don't think he would go live with it to at this point.
He's not interested in being the first to scoop, but more interested in scooping the right story.

I'd trust this if it was said and hope this is the case! Unfortunately for me, I'm in the frozen tundra right now and wasn't able to hear the interview. Can anyone provide cliffs of all the other stuff mentioned?
