    Are the players folding due to Herman being lured by other teams, and they think they are losing their coach? Is that affecting their play, or maybe Herman ain't all that after all ? We need a new coach next year, but not so sure Herman is the answer. Maybe we should look toward Washington, Louisville, NC, or maybe Boise State, etc......

    They did start losing and looking ordinary after it started looking like Charlie could be fired. They did see Texas lost to KSU, and now they are looking meh against SMU.......They may be trying to hold onto their coach...LMAO

    Oh my, just saw the score

    Urban Meyer is the one I want. Pay him whatever he wants. He has a 20 game road win streak going. He has won 20 games in a row four times. Enuff said.

    In the first battle of want-a-be Charlie Strong replacements the Chad Morris' are kicking the Tom Harmans a** 21-0 midway through the 2nd quarter.

    Didn't say we shouldn't try, just said we will not get him. He will not leave tOSU, just like Saban will not leave Bama. Why leave a program that is top 1 or 2 to try to rebuild Texas. Don't say $$$, because they have enough money to keep them.

    Meyer is in a real conference. It's his home state. No way he's leaving for us. Fedora is probably our best bet until we get out of this friggin conference.

    I hear ya but he could be the only coach to win a natty in 3 different power 5 conferences ... assuming he gets here before the Big 12 implodes! Plus mad cash!

    And yes, Mrs. Meyer has a price ... see what I did there ... recruit Mrs. Meyer and ... u never know

    We do still have Sally's cookies recipe some where don't we? Lol

    Geez a coach loses a few games at Houston and now is not a worthy or solid choice at 19-3 over his first 22.

    Urban Meyer was 17-6 at Bowling Green his first 2 years. Then killed it at Utah, Florida, and tOSU.

    Nick Saban lost 2 games his first year at Toledo and then had four straight seasons with 5+ losses at Michigan State.

    Herman's done at better job at UH than Meyer did at Bowling Green or Saban did at Toledo. All 3 schools are mid level programs.

    Have some perspective. Herman still has a stellar overall record and is doing a hell of a coaching job with mid level talent.

    Herman's Cougars would crush Strong's Horns with ease.

    Easy,

    Please edit your post for accuracy. It should be "coaches that wouldn't work for Strong", not "coaches that UT wouldn't let Strong hire".

    Powers and Patterson are so clueless that Strong could have hired this century's answer to Leopold and Loeb and they would have given three year full buyout contracts.Coach Royal was the last administrator to limit hiring of certain people.

    I say fire Strong and hire Herman.
    We'd have at least 3 more years to b***h.
    Wasn't this the dream coach who would make UT Great Again merely a couple of weeks ago?
    We ain't talking Navy this time, we taking 2-4 SMU

    The Navy loss came as all the LSU talk started. This loss came on the Big 12 news. The players know their coach is probably gone....and it has affected the team. You can see it. Plus they have had injuries on defense and offensive line.

    The same thing happened with Sumlin when they were playing in a conference championship game.......with a 12-0 record...and lost.

    Maybe Herman is not the coach for UT... but Charlie Strong is on his way to proving he certainly is not the right coach for UT. Unless Charlie turns it around to 8-5, he should not come back. I do not know who we should hire, but I hope someone in charge does know.

    UH's issues started when the talk of Herman to LSU/Texas started. I can see how the players could lose their focus etc if they feel they are about to lose their coach.

    Look on the bright side. Herman's price tag just dropped $1,000,000/year.

    NR, we may not need a knight in shining armor. How about simply a compatent HC?

    Oh crap!!! Then what is UT going to look like for the next five games cause they're damn sure gonna be losing their coach. I'd hate to see how they play when they lose their focus.

    Urban Meyer at 6 million seems like a better option.

    Herman's stock is falling faster than the middle class incomes during trickle-down-economics.

    I think we saw the tip of the iceberg with the overall implosion today. It is already ugly and it is going to get a whole lot worse. Look for bailor to drop 60 + on them.

    Four straight seasons with 5+ losses?
    Sounds like the coach we have now.
    Maybe we should hang on until that 5th year. ;)
