Texas fires Tom Herman

Real football program

That doesn’t win anything either

 

[Rellyrell]

Nobody, at least not me said firing a dc or position coach can’t be done. It’s the firing a HC after 1 szn or a 8 win szn that is unrealistic. Even with the firing of Herman it’s kind of questionable if your replacement isn’t a top tier coach. But for them they got the bread...we are not Texas. Never have been bro. But as far as firing assistants we have seen that done dating back through Coker and Shannon and manny just last year

I used to be willing to give a coach 5 yrs, but data now shows by year 4 u should see the dividends, but year 3 will tell u if year 4 is warranted.

I know my boy is heated at the hire, but the justification is Sark had previous coaching experience, was considered a good recruiter, & now he’s been polished up under Saban. I don’t like the hire, but it’s not my team so Idgaf. I’m saying we don’t need weeks & weeks to make a decision to fire staff.

To ur point, we sure as **** didn’t think twice to fire two offensive staffs, but now all of sudden when the defense has come under scrutiny, firings don’t take place like this? Lol.

 

[Canes Brotherhood]

Not so fast, sauces now saying Sark turned it down. Lol

 

[Tetragrammaton Cane]

Note to everyone: when your boss asks you do you have everything you need…you’re about to be fired.

Herman = Smart = Pruitt. Come in demanding everything; telling everyone how it’s supposed to be done due to your association with a championship coach; held accountable for your promises.

Only UGA/UT don’t have Texas money.

 

[The Franchise]

Supposedly Texas was vetting Sark behind the scenes while the conversations with Urban Meyer were going on.

Texas wasn’t going to pull a UF/Auburn and fire the HC without his replacement already in place. They didn’t want that embarrassment.

 

[scrantoncane]

Oil money ain’t like other money fam. It just different.

 

[FL Cane]

Oh man, if UT poached Dabo (not likely imho) that would completely change the landscape in the ACC. There isn’t another coach that could fill the void at Clemson if he left.

New twist

I think it’s Gruden now

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

Lol why? Alabama Offense has been dominant under his watch.

He has.

NFL play calling experience
Play calling experience at Washington, USC and Alabama
Head Coaching experience at Washington and USC.

He just hit the bottle back then but he's focused now and a really solid coach, he's players love him at alabama and he does wonders with QBs. If we're being honest Sark wouldn't even take our HC job lol. He turned Down Auburn with all their Resource's

He turned down Auburn because he already knew he had the Texas job. If you don’t think this is been in the works before Auburn became available, you’re not thinking properly

you’re right but at the end of the day, some dudes are simply better at being a coordinator rather than being the HC. Different skill sets.

Players notified?

 

[canesupremacy]

Oh no, they might take Mighty manny mouse from us

 

[kanin81]

Players notified?

Too bad it’s Jay Gruden.

 

[KingB02]

LOL

And that ****** Enos we got last year??

 

[TexasCane90]

Idk how Texas doesn’t throw enough money at urban not to get him...

guaranteed natty with him

 

[FL Cane]

you’re right but at the end of the day, some dudes are simply better at being a coordinator rather than being the HC. Different skill sets.

And some coordinators recognize that ceiling. Brent Venables is the prime example. He’s had multiple opportunities for big jobs (could’ve had ours twice if he wanted) but he’s never shown an interest. For some guys it’s about job security and recognizing their limit.

 

[Scorpioncane]

We’re not Texas. It’s about the only school that can compete with Alabama financially.

That said, Texas has spent absurd amounts of money in the last decade trying to right the ship. This hire had better be right, because if it’s not they’ll end up further behind. Each regime change brings roster attrition, and the new coach brings in their own people. We found that out with our three regimes in the last decade. FSU is finding this out presently.

This will be the fourth coaching regime at Texas in the last ten years.

Don't f4 get bout taint! They got big bags as well!

You really think you need 3 full seasons to properly evaluate a coach?

Wow. Just wow.

 

[dk72]

I live in Austin and it might be a more poorly run AD than Miami's. Difference is, their donors actually give a **** and are willing to pony the money up to buy out coaches but it's been one ****** hire after another.

It's not just about donors caring, it's about the number and wealth of the boosters. The athletic boosters alone at Texas could probably buy the entire University of Miami.

 

[FL Cane]

And that ****** Enos we got last year??

Lol Enos is like the one ex-Saban coach that completely bombed. Just like Tate Martell was the one QB on an OSU roster in 10 years that was a complete bust. Our level of bad luck is unparalleled.
