Funny how it's not being covered by ESPN like the BU scandal, though, huh?

Herman's gone? Friend of mine, LSU fan, just called to tell me. Is it true?

Meyers hired?

He must have heard the rumor, not the fact. I don't see it on the internet or ESPN.

BU was an easy target, plus the incentive of doing it to a faith-based school. Plus, this situation was highly unusual.

LSU is part of the sacred SEC. Cheating, rape, and crime are the norm in the SEC. Nothing unusual. No religion to bash. Nothing to see here.

Finally found out what happened. LSU fans were just overexcited. They thought they could trade Orgeron for Herman and five players to be named later.

UM – things are starting to move a little. Moves being made behind the scenes again. Interest from UM is there. Things seem to be moving forward again.

From what I'm told, an ISU loss would be enough. Another loss to OU in the CCG would also be enough. Win streak is what slowed everything down but that has worked to our advantage behind the scenes unexpectedly.

UM doesn't want to be seen as pursuing a job which isn't vacant. Wifey isn't on board, but he wants to coach again. He likes the Texas option.

Third-hand stuff from my friend. He swears by it tho

I can't recall a coach turning down a job because of his wife. Texas is his only option since he wants to coach a blue blood program. USC is 3-0 and should win 2 out of the next three games, so they won't look for a coach this year.

I choose to be cautiously optimistic bc we've been disappointed with the Saban rumors before.

Thanks for the 3rd hand nugget.

It has to do with UM's health history and apparently some promises he made to his wife. I know, he's doomed. lol

The whole Saban fiasco was because the donors acting from their own interest.  They got played by Saban’s agent who parlayed it into a big raise.  Saban was never coming to Texas, plain and simple.  The donors made a mess and a fool of Texas.  
 

I’m tired of Herman too.  But say he wins out, loses to OU in the Ccg and bitch slaps aTm in the sugar bowl.  Fire him at 9-3?  You can’t offer UM until Herman has been fired.  Urban turns it down then you look like a dumbass program again.  Then what?

No, you can't technically "hire" UM until WTH is fired. But, you can reach an agreement in principle verbally. Hopefully, the BMDs and CDC are on the same page this go 'round.

"We got played by Saban's agent". How do you know that? Were you privy to the conversations?

It wasn't Saban's agent that kept Saban from coming to UT. It was Mack Brown.

The Saban fiasco had nothing to do with the boosters, they did act in their own interest but the table was set and Saban was on board. Mack derailed the hire. Saban and Mack are friends or at least have respect for each other. Saban would not take the job until Mack resigned. Mack knew the plan and he refused to resign. Saban had a new contract offer from Bama but hadn’t signed off yet. He stayed out of the office “recruiting” to give the Texas situation time to play out. Once he realized Mack wasn’t going to resign and he couldn’t put Bama off any longer he signed the new contract. He signed on December 13, 2013 and on December 14, 2013 Mack announced he was resigning. Mack was understandably pissed at the way it was all handled but end the end he got a little retribution at the expense of the program. The better story is what the boosters went through just to get Mack at the point of resignation but that’s a discussion for another time.

Well let’s see.  The donors were telling that it was as good as done.  Then within a week Alabama announces Saban’s raise and extension.  Somebody got played.

The donors should’ve kept their mouths shut on the matter then IF that’s true.  You can’t make certain announcements til after others are made.  They’re gonna screw the urban meyer possibility up too

They should’ve fired Mack if that were the case.  Waiting on him to get the idea was dumb.  If Saban was on board, he’d have waited a few more days

Lol, yea, I’d love to hear it too.  Lots of insiders here.  
 

Texas ended up with shit in their face because Saban’s agent played the Texas donors.  That was as plain as day looking at the situation.  They’re going to cost the program a chance to hire UM if they don’t let Herman go first.  Sometimes you’ve gotta learn when to keep a secret.

You're just making assumptions about how UT "got played". Only thing I agree with in your conjecture is UT should've gone ahead and fired Mack. But, regrettably, Powers didn't have the stones.
