whoever leaked to the press that texas was courting urban really hamstrung them. I dont think they wanted to make a move unless it was urban but once it was public they had no choice.

This is close. Some of the boosters were annoyed at Herman for his terrible attitude, and not bowing down to them. They are the ones who approached Meyer, and later Sarkisian without even telling the AD. They are the ones who made the choice.

Too bad for Texas that their fans are so terrible that Meyer decided to pass. The boosters almost had him locked up for mad money before Meyer started talking to various coaches. It was leaked because they put the cart before the horse and wanted to control the narrative as usual. Sarkisian was damage control
