The thought of having to publicly get into a bidding war with the teasips when we both fire our coach next year makes me feel uneasy

If the reports are that we've already sounded out Herman, and been told he's waiting on the UTx job, then that makes things easy. We just say we tried a non p5 UoH coach and it didn't work out, so we're not going back to that well with the next hire. Or, if we hire someone like Morris, should he do well at SMU, we can say the Aggie son was our first choice anyway.

The trick is to not get duped by Herman into thinking he's really available, while he is actually holding out for UTx. Admittedly, there is reason for concern we won't read the tea leaves correctly.
