Tom Herman thread [merged]

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Saban will be replaced by a T-1000 terminator version of himself.

 

[guesscrazy]

Higher standards.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

He’s another coach I’d take right now. And he’s collecting a fat buyout.

Stop looking for reasons to hold onto Pruitt.

It is a sad state of affairs that many of us would gladly take cast-offs from Texas and Auburn.

I would be on the phone with Herman's agent right now if I were Fulmer.

We have an AD that makes poor decisions but is simply too arrogant to admit it and learn from them.

The Pruitt saga is 0% about what’s best for UT FB and 100% about salvaging Phil’s ego.

Being ‘consistently’ trash still makes you trash...

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

I think Pollack needs to stick with sculpting his eyebrows.

Fans can be done with this by speaking with their wallets next year.

Won't happen tho. People bitch and moan but still go to games.

Have you been to Neyland in the last 5 years? We have lots of shiny metal now.

 

[peerless98]

Will Sark stay at Alabama thru the NCG? Thats the big question

IMO, absolutely!

I hear this a lot but has it ever worked, any D1 school admin waves the white flag??

Herman said that while fans might cheer on black student-athletes on the field, off the field fans can treat them entirely differently. “Can the average fan relate? No, they can’t,” In an interview with Austin American-Statesman’s Brian Davis. “There’s a double standard maybe a little bit. We’re going to pack 100,000 people into DKR and millions watch on TV that are predominantly white — not all of them certainly, but most of ’em white. We’re gonna cheer when they score touchdowns, and we’re gonna hug our buddy when they get sacks or an interception. But we gonna let them date our daughter? Are we going to hire them in a position of power in our company? That’s the question I have for America. You can’t have it both ways. And if you’re going to cheer them and love them for three-and-a-half hours a Saturday in the fall, you better have the same feelings for them off the field, because they’re human beings. They deserve the same amount of respect and human rights that all of us do in this country when we agreed on the social contract to be a member of the United States.”

Absolutely it has worked. Hell it worked on Schiano.

There is some reliance on TV and SEC money as of now. But when does those investors start thinking that UT needs to move to more of a competitive conference for the program? But then again, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama will still need a whipping boy.

It would be so ironic if Freeze is their guy.

 

[SmileyVol_c/o_10]

I was thinking Malzahn actually.

 

[BUBear]

They already had a plan when they fired him. Wow.

I hope Baylor has a plan to help run off the new guy...again.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

So who is Texas gonna hire??

Already been announced as Sarkisian.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

I was thinking Malzahn actually.

Him too. I think Sark will only stay at Bama if Saban has an ironclad agreement to retire in the next 2 years.

 

[SmileyVol_c/o_10]

Already been announced as Sarkisian.

Then announced he turned it down. Conflicting reports abound! Maybe not announced, but David pollock has heard both.

 

[mackievol]

7 and 3 32-18 overall.. terrible firing.

If they'd ask100 thousand people to chip in 10 a piece to get rid of this goon I think they'd do it...I know I would

Everyone that packs Neyland on saturdays would chip in a solid 100 to get rid of Pruitt right away.

That has already happened. Real Saban is at the lake house.

Great plan, we have a coach with a mandate to win and if he does not change is eminent and so why don't we make sure we don't have enough money to go after the best available? Wow....

How much do you think fan attendance pays for coach’s salary?
