re: Let's all take a moment to point and laugh at what is going down on the 40 Acres

My favorite delusion is that Miami will clean up this mess for them so they are free to get Herman.

Quote:


Some of you may recall I posted here after the TCU game. I won't say my name but I am a booster, no one really high up or anything but lets say I know things around the program you don't often hear about or when you do its usually thru a media outlet after the lid is blown off. I monitored a few replies but wasn't very vigilant. Some of you thought I was a fake, some didn't. About what I expected. Anyway here is what I know and am hearing

1. There are 3 jobs presently "open" that are attractive to CS and he is attractive to them for similar and differing reasons. Miami, UCF and South Carolina. I have on solid authority SoCar has expressed to Charlie that job is his if he wants it. To my knowledge he has not told them no. He coached there about 10 years ago under Holtz and still has friends there. It would also allow him to recruit Florida effectively and it is in the South East where his heart is.

2. He has expressed to a few people and is widely believed he regrets coming here. He was hoping to wait Muschamp at Florida but once Bridgewater left and Texas came along at 5M he couldn't say no. Now with the 3 jobs above open it is expected he will take one of those. He is exactly what Miami wants in terms of discipline but the issue is his struggles here may be a tough sale to the fan base which is basically invisible in Coral Gables. UCF is sleeping giant with a 40k enrollment and great location. He would have little interference and 5 years to make it work

3. We are 90% of the way done with a new AD. Cant say who but its a home run and he wants to use this time before the announcement to tend to someone in his family who is having a difficult "season" if you will. I don't know who he will hire but don't be surprised if its a guy who doesn't necessarily adhere to the tradiotnal air raid/ texas HS/Big 12 way of offense and program building. Which leads me to...

4. Our time in the Big 12 will be up by 2019, 2020 at the latest. First of all this will benefit from us a recrtuimg standpoint because once the conference folds TCU and Baylor will come crashing down to earth. We don't always go for the same caliber of players but it will put Texas back in the driver seat of the state. SEC dominance is largely based on history at this point, and once Saban leaves for the NFL (very strong chance after season I am told) or retires it will come crashing down.

5. The time to get things in order is now. People close to Red have told me a nfl team will be in Central Texas by the end of the decade and maybe as soon as 2017. It is believed the Rams are the lock to go to LA and the chargers or raiders will either give it a another year or become tenants in the stadium if Kroenke allows. The raiders are more open to being tenants, the chargers aren't. One of those teams will eventually be in SA/Austin. That being said, the horns need to be a well oiled machine when this happens or it could be second fiddle. The proposed plan the raiders viewed was 5 or 6 games in the alamodome and 2,3 games in DKR while a stadium is built NE of SA perhaps as far as New Braunfels or San Marcos. The Panthers did a similar type of arrangement when they began in Carolina.

6. Charlie's fate at least by the schools hand won't be decided until after the season. I can say any goodwill he gained from the OU game evaporated last nite. The key here is what does CS decide? If he goes on his own then the buyout can be dropped or forgotten. He isn't a fool, he knows after next year he is likely a dead man walking

Having lived in San Antonio, I can say that the subset of the SA population that are NFL fans are all Cowboys fans. I'm pretty sure I've read that the Cowboys get as good of ratings in SA as they do in Dallas. Jerry is not ignorant of that. The idea that Jerry would allow SA to get an NFL team is just . He definitely has the political clout both within the NFL and the state of Texas to shut that down. And he could and would go to Bob McNair and get his support. PLUS, there are other markets that would get a crack at an NFL team before San Antonio + Austin. Particularly since it's well established that that area is already Cowboys Land and because the NFL franchises live on corporate dollars, which are sorely lacking in San Antonio. San Antonio is call-center land. A lot of big companies have call-centers there but it isn't home to corporate HQ aside from HEB and Valero. Don't count USAA because they are a bunch of tightwads. Military bases aren't going to buy suites. Austin is full of baristas. There's some money there in the hills and in close to downtown, but not nearly on the level of a city that supports an NFL franchise. Austin people think they have a lot of rich citizens until they visit the Park Cities or River Oaks and then they're like...oh... There are tech companies there but, aside from Dell and Freescale Semiconductor, they're either money-losing VC-backed upstarts or branch offices of the mother company in California, like AMD.

That sounds like Suchomel's "conversations with big cigars".

Anyone want to post it on the coaching changes board?

Because no one does it up like Fake Dan Beebe:

y'all worried at all about Texas getting a guy like Chad Morris?

Not really. I don't think they even would because you'd always have to worry about him coming to a&m. They need to hire herman

They'd never hire Chad Morris. Chad is an Aggie and they'd have to worry that he'd come home to momma just as he got them rolling.

If they get over themselves and hire Herman, then I'm officially freaking out. He can coach AND recruit.
