Good gosh... He either hired to slow or too quickly. 

Coaches are doing coaching searches *all the time*. The idea that he didn't have an idea who he may want halfway through the season is silly. They know more than most what's going to happen after a season is done.

Ash may have wanted time to see if another HC gig came up, or if someone would money whip him... who knows. 

I didn’t mention anything about slow or fast. Good resumes don’t just fall on ur desk every time. Go out and search for the right person. He best candidate for ur job. He didn’t hire Ash mid season. U have the opportunity when ur Job is on the line, 

 and “who knows” comment is stupid. ASS U ME 

if u don’t have a problem wih the way this search was conducted, say so and shut up or add something positive to the convo 

I DO NOT have a problem with the hire of Ash as DC. I have a HUGE problem that Herman did not search for a DC. I have never been fully on the Herman train(1 foot on, 1 foot off). 2nd foot is at the edge now. This is  an unacceptable coaching search. I’d this is the “search” he is doing then he might as well say, CDC, make my hires.

Texas has always had a pattern of scheduling their three non conference games. Two teams that we should beat if were Texas and then one team that should be a national power. The problem is that teams have to schedule years in advance. This year it was Louisiana Tech, Rice, and LSU.

I like that we schedule one national power or hopefully national power every year. The problem is that we need to be a national power also.

Oh I like it as a fan but don’t complain if we lose and get left out with 2 losses. 

Oregon scheduled Auburn(9-3,top 20 team) at neutral site and lost on last play of the game. They are pac12 champs with 2 loses. If committee isn’t going to reward good scheduling then teams should schedule like Baylor. Ou has 1 loss but played a 4-8 usc team OOC. Lost to 8-4. Oregon lost to 7-5 team. 
 

System is messed up and doesn’t reward good scheduling. We shouldn’t schedule LSU and Bama bc we don’t get rewarded for it.

yes it’s fun for the fans but u want to make playoffs or no?

LSU vs Ohio St

I’ve reached my limit on anticipating these hires. Hopefully we get some kind of news tomorrow, if Harrell is not in, then move on.

I don’t think anyone out there is a clear cut option at OC or DC. Should do 3+ interviews at both spots. Go SEARCH for the best possible guy! Common Tom

Don't care for him either but he's available.

QC coach maybe , maybe haha

Not going to happen with GH. Kingsbury had several years as a HC before the NFL came calling. GH hasn't had his first HC job yet.

By contrast, Chad Morris would spend every minute at UT as a potential candidate for a lot of jobs. So I don't like the choice. 

Morris would be my plan J or K.

Here's another one from the Arkansas staff . . . would you get excited over John Chavis as DC?

No way on Chavis for me

I’d also add he’s a really good recruiter with ties all over the state. He’s my #1. Plus he uses the TE.

Morris would be a good hire for OC

5-straight Conference Championships for the Sooners. They are doing something right... or every other team in the league is doing something wrong.

We have dont a lot wrong and appear to Be continuing this trend 

I’ll go No for Graham Harrell. I think he is an upgrade but I think there are other better OCs out there. I’m not saying I know a bunch of better options but like Ou hires Riley years ago, LSU hired Brady, there are options out there that can be a good fit, more innovative that don’t come from P5 blue bloods.

Jesus..... 2 million dollars for an OC ? Are people out of their Fricking minds ?

Yes

thats what majority of schools(especially to the East of us) are willing to blatantly cheat. Penalty isn’t more than a slap on the wrist and payoff is $$$,$$$,$$$.$$$

Johnson could very well be the best available at DL. Look at the cats he has developed at OSU during his tenure: Michael Bennett, Joey Bosa, Adolphus Washington, Tyquan Lewis, Sam Hubbard, Jalyn Holmes, Nick Bosa, and Dremont Jones. That is an impressive list of defensive lineman since 2014. Doesn't even include perhaps the best yet in Chase Young. 

I will take him over Giles but I mainly don’t want Ash bc he is rumored to be “buddies” with Herman and I don’t want that at all

I'm hearing the firings are not over. Was basically told the entire defensive staff will be gone before its over.

Chris Ash is main target at DC. Larry Johnson at DL. Kerry Coombs at DBs. All former Ohio State defensive coaches.

Slightly disappointed if true, don’t want anyone that Herman is friends with. He needs to get out of his comfort zone. Search of the best available Then if Ash happens to be it, go get him.

Geez... how does one coach get so toxic. 

I don't know the entire backstory, but it should be no surprise that our WRs showed little development. 

I don’t know backstory waiter, would love to if/when it comes out. If it was that bad why wasn’t he fired mid season though? 

Fillinger gone with the news Orlando is gone 
 

new DC better get to Collins house ASAP 

Defensive staff will likely interview with new DC or go somewhere else after bowl game. 

Herman better truly search for the right OC and DC. Hope he fully understands how right these hires need to be. DON’T HIRE A FRIEND 
 

Frank Wilson was fired as UTSA HC, would love to have him on the offensive staff, RB coach. Great experience , recruiter , knows Texas and Louisiana very very well

I would take a chance.

Not ur job on the line but I’m not saying I wouldn’t haha.

i want Brady, I just want another guy with play-calling experience

Wow. Hope Herman Openly(to the players) fired Meh.

I doubt we can get Brady. It looks like LSU will empty the state budget to keep him.

There are negatives to Brady, he has never called plays. Would love to have him and someone else who has called plays before

Count your blessings, we could be aggy and be stuck with Jimbo Fisher.  

 

True but the jury is still out after 3 years as to how much better we are. 
who would have thought 3 years ago, Rhule would have Baylor in contention if a playoff spot and a big 12 champ. 
imo, even if they win, I wouldn’t vote them in bc their non conf schedule, but that staff is better than the current Texas staff somehow
