Big 12 Championship is going to ATT Stadium for the next 7 years in the least surprising news of the century. http://www.espn.com/college-footbal...ionship-game-held-att-stadium-arlington-texas It would make a great round 2 of the Red River game if OU and UT finish at the top.
I find t But maybe Swoops would wouldn't be Swoops as you know him if he had been under Herman, see Ohio St.
I really don't like the argument that Herman should not be the head coach of Texas because he hasn't proven anything. First of all, that's false. Second of all, what has Strong proven to deserve another year? Recruiting? So what. Strong recruited Malik Jefferson. He hasn't done that much for all of his accolades. Strong recruited Brandon Jones. He put him under the tutelage of Clay Jennings and Vance Bedford to rot. Meanwhile, Herman goes all out to get one player, Ed Oliver. Look how he's doing. He fits perfectly their style of play. Does Strong even have a unified strategy of any kind for his players and system? All credit to Texas' offensive side of the ball, where the offensive line and wide receivers look a lot better this year. However, none of that is Strong's doing. And Herman shouldn't have any issues taking over the offense if he actually led Ohio State to the national championship.
"Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me Tom Herman or give me death!" Patrick Henry, 2016
Texas getting 'extreme pressure' from boosters to hire Tom Herman Texas' administration is receiving "extreme pressure" from prominent boosters to dismiss Charlie Strong and hire Houston coach Tom Herman, sources told ESPN. Earlier this week, Strong's job was considered safe if the Longhorns (5-5) won out against Kansas and TCU. However, that all changed when Houston upset No. 5 Louisville Thursday, sources said. That was because in October the lure of Herman, always considered Texas' No. 1 target, had dulled with losses to Navy and SMU and near losses to Tulsa and UCF. The SMU loss was extremely troubling to UT's boosters because it was to a perceived "lesser school" in the state, sources said. That all changed with Herman improving to 22-3 at Houston after Thursday's domination of Louisville. After that win, the bidding war for Herman is expected to start "at a minimum of $5.5 million," an industry source said. Herman is considered among the leading candidates at Texas and LSU, if Jimbo Fisher remains at Florida State, as well as Oregon, if the Ducks fire Mark Helfrich, sources said. Herman also would be a top target of Florida State, if Fisher left for LSU, a source said. "Herman was dead in the water (with Texas) when he lost to SMU (Oct. 22)," a source said. "And now he's hotter than ever." Herman was Ohio State's offensive coordinator before being named Houston's coach. He's won 22 of 25 games, including all five contests as an underdog against Oklahoma and Louisville this season and Louisville, Navy and Florida State in 2015. Texas President Greg Fenves and athletic director Mike Perrin have been consistent and very outspoken about their support of Strong. In October, sources told ESPN Strong would not be fired in-season and be allowed to complete the season. If Strong, who is in the third year of a five-year deal, is fired, he would receive a $10 million buyout.
If the same team that's playing the 1st half comes out of the locker room for the 2nd, it won't matter what happens against TCU, he's gone.
#Bomb4Tom #LoseLikeSherman4Herman #StrongIsWrong This is like watching a monkey swallow a hand grenade. It's so terrible that I can't bring myself to turn it off. This is what makes no sense when I hear the players say they would do anything for coach strong. How about play some inspired f*cking football against the worst team in the big 12. You're getting embarrassed by Kansas.
They just look completely unmotivated and unprepared. They're playing on the road, so this shouldn't be too surprising. Just noticed that the victims of our signature road win (only road win) this year, the mighty Red Raiders, are getting plastered 42-3 at the half by the mightier Iowa St. Cyclones.
I hate targeting calls. They always look like legal tackles to me or cases where the offensive player tucks their head into tackler resulting in helmet-to-helmet contact.
Like I said a couple of weeks ago, the only coach related to Strong after this game will be where he's sitting on the way home tonight. No way he survives this.
