Orlando Candidate for SMU Job

Jeff Traylor was at the Chad Morris introductory news conference today at Arkansas, a sign that SMU is probably going a different direction and that he will be joining Chad at Arkansas.

What’s the talk to Herman is pissed and believes this Orlando talk is hurting recruiting. Word is he interviewed yesterday and Herman said he needs to k ow quick if Orlando is truly interested or not. If so get out type deal. Ohhh boy. If that’s legit then we are SCREWED

I was under the impression that Orlando's and Herman's relationship was such that Todd would let Tom know if he were interviewing for another gig. I don't subscribe to 247, but it may just be sensationalized click-bait trying to find controversy where none exists. Let's hope so, anyway.

I'd hate to lose Orlando after only one year.

 

[J.B. TexasEx]

I don't think Orlando will leave nor do I want Orlando to leave, but what if he did?.............Chavis?

Hell, no.

Chavis is on the backside of his career and word is he doesn't like to recruit. Plus, he's aggy, so screw him.

Am told by sources that Texas DC Todd Orlando is telling people close to him that he has no intention of leaving Texas anytime soon. The context of my conversation with the source was specifically related to the SMU job opening. At least according to this source, while SMU may have some interest in Orlando, he’s telling people close to him that he doesn’t plan on leaving. – (Super K)

Why do some of you people go ape over a hypothetical? Good grief.

I'm not "going ape", but I do think Chavis is overrated and not a good fit for UT's program. Old fart/low-energy

Good lord, when are people going to learn not to believe everything that you hear or read? Especially when it comes from "sources" or says "reports". Or it comes from a site that charges people to read it.

There are way too many people in the "industry" who subscribe to "never let the truth get in the way of a good story".

Oh Crap!  If he is denying it then it means he has already signed the contract and hired a Realtor ...LOL!

Please! Hire Me to Coach College Football



A lavish spending spree for talent has our columnist once more considering his career options


As well-written satire, punking "buy yourself a coach and championship" and wouldn't you know it, aTm is square in the bullseye.  Aggie just put on the table the most lucrative contract ever for a coaching hire, along with the immediate $10m buyout, plus no telling what for total asst coaching salaries. The institution will be known for this, for a long long time to come.

Excerpt...  My bold and italics.... think aTm...

"I’m not going to demand my own private plane, either. I mean: I’ll use the school’s private plane, but I will only use it for recruiting, media appearances, booster visits, speeches, camps and occasional friends and family trips to Vegas, Hawaii, the Maldives, Italy, France, the Canary Islands, Antarctica, Wimbledon, the Masters, the Running of the Bulls, solar eclipses and maybe to go to my mom’s for Christmas.

"Oh, can you throw in a job for my mom, too? How’s $600,000 sound?

"Actually mom wants $675,000, plus a nice Benz. Let’s make this happen.

"I know this may sound like a lot of spending, but this is what matters now. Football is the only way for a modern university to be truly great. Yeah, yeah, yeah—there are admissions standards, classes, research and maybe even Nobel Prizes and stuff, but those are pretty boring.

"You know what’s not boring? Hosting “College GameDay.” You know what’s better than a Nobel Prize? Making the College Football playoff semifinal. Do they show the Nobel Prizes on FS1? I didn’t think so."
