The best part is this rumor has legs. I hope Gatah fans are already crying about it and freaking out about their class falling apart. Good thing we stayed in touch with Marshall! I would like to introduce the next UF head coach, Mr. Lane Kiffin.

No, what you wrote is an awful take. OSU posted double digit wins every season since 2005, right up to hiring Meyer. He stepped into a very good program that just won 12 games. When Spurrier left UF in 2001, they were ranked #3. Then they finished ranked #24, #24, #25 and Zook got fired...

You know how fans say that without King Miami is 3-4 this year? Without once in a generation QB Vince Young, Texas has 0 titles in 50 years despite have the most resources of any program, by far. Clemson is a cheap program compared to Texas. I don't know how anyone sees that and doesn't...

Texas is vastly overrated too. 1 title since 1971? Terrible.

Possibly true, but I don't remember anyone giving Manny Diaz the benefit of the doubt when the team was a few bad kicks away from being a 9 win team last year. And this year fans argue he hasn't fixed any of the underlying problems because we are an ugly 7-1. And 5-3 to 8-0 is not close to...

When you have enough money, any program can make problems disappear quickly. You are right that whatever negative impacts are short lived. But the difference between Urb to UT compared to Urb to OSU or UF is that each program had been successful up to about 3 years before he was hired. UF...

Because he wins football games and championships, and for some, that's all that matters. That's why so many people (even on this forum) still love ol' Joe Paterno.

I think you are equating lack of success with lazy hiring. They are not the same thing. Let's suppose Meyer goes to Texas, but it turns out that much like Richt, at this point in his career he was mostly there to collect a paycheck and doesn't win a championship and just retires 50 million...

Tom Herman was the hottest name in CFB. Everyone thought he'd kill it at Texas. You think he was a lazy hire? Signing a fired HC because he was a former player and hiring back your DC after an 8 hr coaching search is lazy hiring. Going out and hiring the most in demand young coach and paying...

Isn't that what literally every program that isn't successful has in common? You might as well say that Texas and Miami have had similar problems because both teams have players that wear helmets.

If I'm not mistaken, every college coach Jones hired was making his NFL debut and had something to prove. Meyers been there, got the t-shirt. This would just be cashing a check.

If Urban goes out and signs a Bible-thumping QB to distract from having a team full of serial killers, rapists, wife beaters, and felons we'll know he's really in it to win it. Also, it's possible that since the state of Texas likes the death penalty so much, it could be a big deterrent to the...

I'd love for him to go there over ND or USC. Really. At USC he'd cherry pick the best players in Cali without much threat from east coast teams. Texas now has to compete against an even richer school (TAMU) for recruits in Texas, and they also have a championship coach who is an excellent...

Ok so Texas hasn't been trying to win since 1971 since they never hired Urban Meyer before. Amazing that all these other schools that have won national championships since 1971 have done so without actually wanting to win.

That's the key. I don't know that I've ever seen a HC that f#ckig hated his job and was doing it just for the paycheck. If Urban came back for ND, it's because he loves ND and its his dream job. He'd likely accept a top 10 coach salary, but wouldn't need to be #1. If he goes to Texas it's...

The issues at Texas at not remotely like the problems at Miami. Not even in the same galaxy. Miami has always been the smallest, meanest kid on the block, fending on bag schools trying to pay off the best talent in the local area. Texas has spared no expense on its program. Miami's HC had to...

You said that "teams that want to win, do what it takes to win." So what has Texas been doing all this time? You think this year is the first time since 1971 that Texas decided it wants to win and has tried to hire the best coach?

Lololol. How's that worked out for Texas with all that money? Guess they haven't wanted to win that much since 1971 since they only have 1 title to show for it.

It's been written a million times but posters will ask that same question "why do coaches find it so hard to be successful at Texas" about 100 more times in this thread. UT has unlimited money, resources, and a monopoly on Texas recruiting. Despite all that, since 1971 they have won a grand...
