Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I noticed they do serve ribs w/o a bun

Yup, and they're tasty.

If Urban isn’t taking that job, he’s not coaching ever again imo. 

Easy money in the booth,IMO there were a lot of strings attached in Austin.Evidently from the one article Texas admns were PO'd Herman didn't have the kids attention when "The Eyes of Texas" was played.How enthusiastic could URBZ be to adapting to other traditions and Admns/Boosters "Hey you're going to be at Juniors B-Day bash,right?"

I'm not sure expectations for a head coach at Texas, are all that different than expectations for a head coach at Ohio State, with respect to glad-handing and all that.  As speculated early-on, sounds like Meyer and his family really are concerned about the cyst on his brain.  And that's probably a reasonable thing to be concerned about.

Anyway, the courtship has likely been too public for there to be any chance of recovery with Tom Herman at the helm, so it's likely Texas will target one of the PlanB/PlanC type guys we've already discussed on this thread.  I'm not thrilled with any of them, but maybe they'll  be successful.  Nothing I can do about it of course.

In the meantime, Texas has paused all football operations due to COVID issues.  No practices yesterday and today, and what's really odd, is no standard weekly press conference from the head coach, as he typically does on the Monday before a game (Texas is supposed to play Kansas this weekend).

Since the press conferences have all been ZOOM meetings this season, it doesn't make much sense to cancel it due to COVID, which has led to speculation that A) Tom Herman is the one that has it and he's highly symptomatic or B) the football program is using COVID as a cover to avoid having to deal with a coach they're about to fire, being in the public eye.

Situation A seems pretty improbable, since he was just fine on the sidelines 2 days ago, and the announcements of canceled practice and press conference were made yesterday...

So, is he already fired?

Nothing official and I haven't even heard that from my "insider" sources (which aren't nearly as close to the program as they were a decade ago).

I'm just speculating based on how public this has all been, which would indicate the AD no longer has any confidence in Herman, as well as the odd circumstances of canceling a regular weekly presser under the cover of COVID issues, when COVID issues have been occurring all season long and no other pressers have been canceled because of them.

From what I've read TH has 3 yrs left on his contract.Some fans on Surley Horns seemed to like the coordinators.I'd roll the dice and give TH one more year chipping away at the buyout.Unless he's really burnt bridges they're in a tough spot recruiting wise with no slam dunk candidate on the horizon(IMO).Obviously the answer is out there it's finding the right fit
