Texas and Urban

[Brains]

Brethren; not only could I not ever imagine it, what hurts the most is seeing fans here become lulled by it. Accepting it; embracing it, justifying it.

When I see a BOT member say, ‘Just remember E before W’, it feels like I’m in a twilight zone. That’s y I started watching CFB, in whole, b/c I thought football changed. Then I realized after stepping out my little Hurricane Bubble that, no it’s us that’s OK with collecting checks & living off the past v. progressing. It hurts me so much; and it angers me even more.

We need the fanbase and former players to be far more financially involved. Message boards and social media don't suffice.

If Texas manages to pay Meyer enough to do something he doesn't want to do

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 purely to cash a check and would only accept if they shatter the salary record for a HC. This isn't a question of talent, but motivation.

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?

Teams that want to win = teams that hire Urban Meyer. Florida, Ohio State, potentially Texas, and even Utah.

Not moving it. Said from the beginning no one gets great talent over the top like he can. I just don't think he's in the same position, has the same talent and administration or is the same guy he was back then.

LOL, "back then"? The guy just coached His last game last year, in a season where His team went 11-1.

i'm fairly certain that every coach of the cowboys in the jones era, including jimmy, hated their job.

Notice it says they flew to meet with him, not the other way around. If he does go, expect a record breaking contract.

There's so many oil men, billionaire oil men, among UT's booster community its ridiculous it might be record breaking indeed.

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

He’d turn that program around in a blink. Would be a huge get

Yeah and what was his state mentally and physically when he left?

Some of you think these dudes are robots.

IDK what His state was mentally & physically, but I know He quit when the questions about Him covering up domestic abuse by one His assistants started to come up.

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.

He would have an unlimited budget there. He’s scum, but would do well there unfortunately

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 recruiter. I hope they are constantly bidding against each other. At Texas, he'd face built-in structural problems that money can't solve (dozens, if not hundreds, of meddling boosters) that he will constantly be having to kiss a$$ instead of focusing on football. He'd have a heart attack and retire within a couple of years. If ends up being successful, great. At least its some school other than Bama or Clemson, and if he's constantly beating Jimbo Fisher, so much the better.

Urb is a coach of the elite tier. That dude strikes gold wherever he goes. It’s in shambles after he leaves but it’s pumping while he’s there.

 

[JG13]

Wouldn't it be hilarious if he goes to Texas and keeps Herman as his OC.

Urban's main stipulation in the Texas contract is he gets to put Herman to death by javelina mauling.

Urban first move as Texas Head Coach: Sign the texas kid that body slammed the ref

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

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 out of state recruits that Meyer would typically be after.

 

[HurricaneHauk]

You can tell which are the idiots that never attended Miami when they say “I could care less he’s a scumbag piece of **** who let’s coaches beat their wives”

 

[AlexCane]

Love him or hate him, the man is a competitor. I respect that although I don't like him. I just can't see him wasting away his prime years doing tv. I think he's back somewhere soon.

 

[Hurricane4lyfe]

Texas even said they money is tight right now because of pandemic.. but we shall see if urban ends up there

 

[pyhooya]

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 pay money out of his wallet to get a practice bubble. Texas paid a successful G5 coach 6 million per year to get the program back on track. Miami paid Temple University several million dollars to buy back its DC. Texas's problems stem from having too many entitled billionaire boosters. Mo' money mo problems. Miami's problem is that it's EBT card is maxed out so the players will be eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the next month.

YOu missed the point....talking about bad coaching/hires and laziness. That has been the problem since the hiring of coker and its still going on
