So, are we worried about Dino getting poached?

 

[Trueblue25]

Enter Urban?

What!!?

The school's statement proves that football drives the bus in Texas. Firing a football coach has to be approved by the Board of Regents! That is not normal in higher education.

Enter Urban?

Urban will be coaching Trevor Lawrence at JAX.

What!!?

That is complete insanity. I thought Sark kept ND in the game last night with ultra conservative play calling that relinquished a lot of their momentum. He was a disaster as a HC previously.

Auburn and Texas have lost their collective minds.

It kinda looked like he was taking notes (scouting?) when they showed him sitting in the stands during the Clemson-OSU game.

Texas just got a lot worse. I’m sure this hire doesn’t excite the Texas fan base.

 

[Trueblue25]

Sark makes NO sense.

 

[Crusty]

Tom Herman gone. Sounds true.

It always amazes me when teams think they can recreate what the Hoodie or Saban have accomplished by hiring one of their assistants. Generally speaking the hit rate on that has been abysmal.

Up until Flores and Judge (maybe) the same thing happened in the NFL with the Belichick assistants.

What Herman managed to do at Houston was 10x more impressive than anything Sark did at Wash or USC. Texas is just spinning their wheels giving each coach 3 or 4 years and then restarting.

 

[djorange1989]

bad hire if Brown is correct, I wish Sark the best as he continues his life in sobriety but I think it is a bad fit for both sides.

 

[HOFCeluck]

7-6, 10-4, 8-5, 7-3, fired for Steve Sarkisian.

In other words, “We’re make believing its 2006 forever. We are not serious people.”

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

I mean with the amount resources UT has and the recruiting hotbed that they’re in, there’s really no excuse not to be title contenders every year.

 

[OburgOrange]

Urban will be coaching Trevor Lawrence at JAX.

But Doug is the HC?

I agree. Not saying they should have fired Tom, but not sure why they can’t be as Bama as Bama is. They have everything you need right there for them. They at least need to catch Oklahoma.

News update, Herman hired at Alabama to run offense for Tide. ( This is sarcasm, not real news...until it actually happens). Saban and his reclamation projects.

Texas needs a CEO and keeps hiring football coaches. Different job there that not many if any available guys are capable of doing. Saban and Dabo are happy where they are. Urban apparently didn't want the job. Jimbo and Riley are at the 2 biggest rival schools. That's 5 of maybe 6 or 7 guys capable of getting that machine cranked up all the way.

Speaking of which, headed to a Texas Highschool playoff game. Expect 5,000 to attend or roughly half-capacity due to restrictions.
