Kiffin signs new contract extension with Ole Miss

[Boston Vol]

He would be solid here. He rebuilt Houston. He was a very good OC at several different schools. He has name recognition, is young, and would be able to recruit at a high level. He could expand our recruiting territory.

But if you want to keep your loser Grump and Fulmer and keep things as they are, go ahead.

He rebuilt Houston? Houston had won 33 games in the four years before he took over. Yes he had a great 2015, but let’s not act as if he took over a dumpster fire of a program. And you think that I want to keep either Pruitt or Fulmer? Just because one doesn’t like the idea of hiring Herman doesn’t necessarily mean that they support Pruitt or Fulmer.

As long as his agent is not named Jimmy Sexton.

Sexton isn't our problem....our decision makers are

Texas is now the real UT. Dang

Pretty sure they've been that a while now; though the way they've dipped too doesn't seem like anyone wants the title much.

Sarkisian had every resource he could want at USC and couldn't cut it, I guess 2 years as an OC at Alabama makes people forget. If I were a Texas fan I would be furious, no way would I feel comfortable sending my kid to play for him. Herman wasn't lighting the world on fire but he has a much better track record than Sark. and didn't have the off the field issues. This move just makes me shake my head. Dont get it, maybe its just me.

 

[GAVol]

More than we've won. He's twice the coach the bum we currently have.

They’ve averaged about 7 wins the past 10 years. They just haven’t really been much better than us.

 

[Volnut]

I would take Herman in a heartbeat over what we have now. Maybe if we're lucky, he won't take a job this offseason and will be available when Gump flounders in '21.

 

[SmokeyDog1973]

Bring him to the Hill

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Hire him now. He’s collecting a hefty buyout.

 

[give_him 6]

Not an upgrade for Texas. Sark is mediocre, just ask Washington and USC fans. But good for Herman to get out of Austin. That place might just be a bit more delusional than us.

 

[37620VOL]

But Texas is committed to having a winning program.

Actually, they are one of the few ADs more dysfunctional than our own.

Why waste a year?

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Sark just landed a top 3 job in college football. And realizing Austin > SoCal is a no brainer

 

[GAVol]

Mack lost his momentum after the title game loss to Bama. They replaced him with Charlie Strong, and then replaced Strong with Herman. Hire mediocre coaches, get mediocre results.

Exactly my point... “caring” and firing coaches doesn’t equal success just because. We’re proof of that.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Fired at Texas. We better make a move NOW. Not on Herman but we better do something if we’re going to do it.

I don’t think Texas has any assistants on whom we are interested.

 

[Volfan76]

That's the difference in accountability. Firing a coach that goes 7-3 and refusing to fire a coach that goes 3-7. We are watching the slow, painful death of UT football. It's sad really.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Texas is now the real UT. Dang

Get this outta here. No... and NEVER.

 

[SmokeyDog1973]

Not an upgrade for Texas. Sark is mediocre, just ask Washington and USC fans. But good for Herman to get out of Austin. That place might just be a bit more delusional than us.

Maybe just maybe Sark has matured and learned alot since his last HC gig at Southern Cal

 

[Volnut]

Why waste a year?

That's what I say, but we are stuck with our admin.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

If Sark couldn't control his demons at USC, coaching in Austin is 10x more hectic due to all of the booster coddling you have to do....

Texas is making a huge gamble that Sark is clean and will remain so.




While we fret over Freeze's Cricket phone

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Any word on how Texas fans are responding? Not sure I’d be happy with this hire if I wore the uglier shade of orange.

 

[onevol74]

It is about time we let another school pay our salaries. That has been our role in the past.

 

[Volnut]

I don’t think Texas has any assistants on whom we are interested.

I would take Mike Yurcich as OC in a heartbeat!

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Texas is now the real UT. Dang

If it wasnt for Tennessee, they would be the University of North Mexico at Austin..

 

[sonofUT62]

So Texas will fire a guy who has gone 32-18, played for a conference title, won four bowls in four years, including a Sugar Bowl but we cannot move on from a guy that has gone 16-19 and has one lucky comeback bowl win? This complacency is why our program is where it is at right now.

Yes. And when someone ( not me) mentions the possibility of replacing Pruitt with Herman, our fan base revolts and acts like we’re too good for him.

 

[Volnut]

Any word on how Texas fans are responding? Not sure I’d be happy with this hire if I wore the uglier shade of orange.

Yes, they are upset that they didn't get Meyer.
