Jackie Sherrill and Barry Switzer would've walked across hot, broken glass to take the Texas job, and would've won big.
Saban was going to take the Texas job but there was enough internal resistance to scare him off.
Meyer is a known crook, so he would never fly, either. Herman might be a crook but it's not yet documented.
The faculty would revolt if Texas hired a well-known crook. That's a good thing and a bad thing, and Texas' Achilles heel toward underachieving.

FWIW, some of his investments that were upside-down were taken care of. That was one of the big lures to UT.

I know you’re joking, and take this with a grain of salt because it’s almost certainly just typical message board rumors and BS, but according to a poster on one site supposedly Urban’s agent and a Texas booster willing to foot the entire Herman buyout have already spoken.
The poster said the booster would only do it if Urban would come.
I’m not joking, it’s on their board. Of course everyone laughed the guy off like we do on here for rumors and people that claim to know people, but the rumor is indeed out there.

A booster has reached out to his agent.
If and big if, if there is a deal to be made it might happen. If it is possible this booster will pay Tom’s buy out.
This is very real. This particular booster was never a TH fan and wasn’t for his original hire.
Urban is available. Just like the Herman hire, fear of losing the Urban lottery may end up sealing Herman’s fate. Trust me in this: if a Deal can be made there is no Mack Brown situation. Other boosters who just want new coordinators will jump the Herman ship in a heartbeat for Urban. Right now they think that is fantasy. They may have their minds changed quickly.
This booster thinks he can “handle” Urban and thinks CDC is the AD that can keep him in check and not allow the “winning is the only thing” attitude to allow more murderers and wife beaters.
I’m not saying it’s happening. I’m saying a booster with the ability to make changes is talking with Urban’s agent. So they will find out quickly if Urban is “retired” or just waiting for another opportunity

I believe it it makes total sense. He’s not going to USC, he’s not going back to the big 10, and he’s not going to the SEC.
I could see this all day. Money isn’t an issue
What Herman’s buyout

NORMAN — When Mack Brown was Oklahoma’s offensive coordinator in 1984, he asked head coach Barry Switzer what he thought the best coaching job in the country was.
“I said, ‘Texas. The University of Texas is the best coaching job in America,’” Switzer remembered Thursday in an interview with The Oklahoman.
Brown, of course, became Texas’ head coach in 1998 and remains on the job today, having led the Longhorns to a national title in 2005 and two Big 12 championships. He’s come under fire of late after losing two nonconference games early this season. Texas beat Oklahoma, though, last month at the Cotton Bowl and remains unbeaten in Big 12 play..
Asked why he believed Texas was the nation’s best coaching job, Switzer said, “It was. It is. I guarantee you it is. Sixteen-hundred high schools play football. You’re the University of. You can have great facilities. You’ve got more money than anybody. They have the passion.

Urban wants nothing to do with Texas, and its meddlesome boosters

In what, exactly, are the boosters meddling?
Are they hanging out at practice and coming don on the sidelines to suggest plays?

Herman will get 2020 but he could be 3-2 after LSU and OU and that’s when the heat will be on
He needs to win 10 games next year, period.

People wanted Mack Brown fired, too (pre-2005).
Darrell Royal was gently shown the door and ignored on choosing his successor (he even went as far as lobbying against his successor, Fred Akers).

Wheels are in motion.
I know several people very close to the Texas program and I’ve been told this is better than a 50/50 proposition at this point.
Would not be surprised especially if Texas loses to Baylor. That will send the few Herman supporters left over the cliff

I call BS. The faculty has zero to say about it and the majority of them want to win and don't give a shite how it get's done. Texas has already been blessed with a ton of crooks including at least the last three head coaches, starting with Herman and counting backward.
Quick story. Was at the Texas state fair at Dallas several years ago with wife/kids when OU played Texas and stayed at Suites hotel just off Fairgrounds property. Horns won and I got up early Sun AM to go downstairs grab a coffee and read the Sunday paper. I was seated just off the outer glassed in bell waiting area when a young black kid drove up in a brand new Mustang and grabbed a seat on the sofa and here comes Mister big shot booster, looked like he had came from central casting, old guy about 65 who was literally gushing at the kid with the Longhorns decals on his 'Stang. He began congratulating the aloof youngster for the game he played yesterday and pulled out a wad of cash and thrust it to the young man who grabbed it and tucked it in his jacket and took off. LOL!
The next day the biggest Aggie fan in America who worked for the now defunct Houston Post came by and tried to get an order from me. I told him about the hero of the game and the old guy and the cash. He went nuts and left then came back with a program or some publication with Texas players, the player was an AA db. I told him and he took off again! Texas cheats just like the Aggies.

The faculty would leave and it would be harder to attract top-notch professors to a football factory. The faculty was pissed about Mack Brown's last raise (I know the coach is overwhelmingly bankrolled by private funding, but when have facts deterred liberalism?).

The only thing resembling a hotel right off fairgrounds property would be a flophouse or a whorehouse. I think you are full of shite.

Herman will not be fired after this season. Orlando on the other hand...

This is really dirty but maybe the boosters could hire a PI to find some dirt on Herman to get him canned.
I’ve heard rumors he has a sketchy past.

Texas should be the best job in the country but its not. There are too many boosters interfering and expecting special treatment from the coach. Mack Brown catered to the boosters so was able to keep his job too long. A guy like saban or meyer would hate that gig. But that's also what UT needs- a big time coach that's established enough to come in and shut all that down and get the school, boosters, and media all behind him, and answering to him.(kinda like Saban did at aLabama) But that's opposite of what the Texas boosters want, they want a yes man coach. So its quite a predicament.

Year 3 for a new coach is supposed to be better than Year 2, especially with a returning QB. Something is rotten in Austin...
