I like CDC.. I think the hires and fund raising he's done so far have been terrific. He did fade in the background with the social unrest over the spring and summer.. People are blaming him for the Urban search, but he's never came out and said anything publicly, just like Urban hasn't. Things being this tight lid is just another example that he's the guy.
I see the guy a lot differently. I'd NEVER hang one of my top people out like this because (a) it's really bad business and (b) it sends a signal you're weak personally. Who would want to work for this cat after this SNAFU? I wouldn't and you wouldn't either if we are being given a choice of several jobs and we are really good at what we do. CDC has lost control; now he couldn't get a picnic basket back from Yogi.
It’s pretty simple. Recruits and players know that Texas isn’t happy with Herman. Not sure how he recruits with that in the public. What happens if they lose a game or 2 in 2021? Are the players going to listen to him?
This Meyer situation was a disaster. CDC at a minimum should have pulled out the AD/GM handbook and denied everything and professed undying love to Herman publicly, while trying to get Meyer and start building the guillotine for Herman in the shadows. Instead he gelded Herman in public and missed his target. I don’t blame him for trying to get Meyer, just the disaster situation he created. Not to mention at this point it appears that 0 planning went into this attempt and he gave no thought to what happens if Meyer says no
damn.. you got me.. well as long as we are underachieving we own NE? Once, if ever, we play to standards..we're doomed vs NE?
CDC is doing this on purpose, he hates Tom and for that, Tom isn't returning. He made sure that 247 mentioned that Tom and his extension wasn't on him. Once a coach comes forward about the gig, CDC will smooth what just happened, over.. and to be clear I don't think this Urban thing is quite over.. this feels eerily familiar with his playbook to tosu from years ago.
Michigan won that title, no?
POST OF THE DAY
It’s not a given that Herman is gone. I think it should be, but we will find out. I am not sure CDC has the backing to move to a Plan B at this pt. I am somewhat suspicious that he made a mess of this in order to put Herman in such a bad position, that he thought it would force BMDs to pony up for Plan B. That is just my tin foil a speaking though
I'm just not sure there is a big enough plan B name out there right now. Franklin just mailed in a terrible year, so that's a hard sell.
Everyone is just speculating at this point.. had this been under Patterson or Perrin we all would have known who the coaches that were in play by now. Not sure why Texas fans are turning on CDC right now. Other than us being impatient as always.
I'm highly confident he's gone no matter what. CDC has yet to tweet about the team or to congratulate them on the wins streak prior to the ISU loss. Also, there were pics of him grinning ear to ear after that loss at home. I think he has who he wants, but just waiting for the end of the season to reveal it (tin foil hat on).
So the rumor that CDC and Art Briles have been spending weekends on the lake might have some meaning after all?
