If Texas fires Tom Herman, Dan Mullen....

........ will be the big winner. He's currently making 6M a year. Jimmy Sexton is his agent. He'll be making 8M a year next year, maybe 9, either at Florida or at Texas. That's why so many coaches have Jimmy Sexton as their agent.

At some point Texas has to give someone some time. Starting over every few years isnt working

He's had four years and has been regressing the last two years in conjunction with recruiting starting to slip.
We have dabo time because he kept the trend going up. And if the wins are coming you best show improvements in recruiting and Herman isn't. It's slipping
That being said I don't know what it'll take to get Texas to work again. Maybe Urban could because you need someone to tell the boosters to back off. But maybe it's best to go with someone promising and unproven. Like dabo. Don't pay him much and dangle the brass ring. Might be the only way to course correct.

Hey BrettFSU-
Thanks for sticking around despite all the crap we gave FSU. I really appreciate someone who can provide meaningful views on this site.

No problem.
FSU (administration) deserves the junk y'all have been throwing. The administration decided: 1. Fear of lawsuits because "What if someone catches COVID and dies? We will get sued." 2. We have to be politically correct and show "We care about our students more than you care about yours. Cancelling the game makes us feel good."
The only place we might disagree on is how much or how little the coaching staff played in the decision.

Imagine how bad we would have been with Herman instead.
I shudder at the thought.

Dan Mullen Ain't Thinkin' about UT

He will get a raise at UF and won't even consider leaving.
UT fans down here need to eat some humble pie and understand their football program is NOT on some special level above everyone else. They were soooo ecstatic that Tom Herman was going to take them to the promised land. HAH HAH!
Herman is not Chris Del Conte's guy and it seems the easy decision is to fire him. The program does not have momentum, Sam Ehlinger is leaving, powerful alumni are fed up and the 2021 recruiting class is crumbling into dust.
However, Herman's buyout is $15 million. When you combine that will rolling out top dollar for another coach during the COVID cutbacks, it's a bad look.
My 2 cents: Del Conte won't fire Herman unless he has an acceptable replacement lined up. Simple as that. If UT doesn't nail this next hire, the damage could be long lasting. Outside schools have such an easy time raiding Texas of football talent. Right now, the cool thing for top-level HS guys is to leave the state. They don't give a care about UT.
I love it!
