Probably would have been let go anyway but losing to Kansas ices it.

Hard to win turning the ball over 6 times and missing a FG, but those are things you teach every day, every week.

Tom Herman time at Texas?

Wouldn't you like to be Tom Herman's agent about now? What was that offer, wait just a sec and let me check with LSU boys.

Man I was in the airport watching the final minutes of that game and all I could think of was I wonder if they meeting him at the Austin airport and pull him aside and fire him. Apparently his wife was crying outside of the lockeroom just minutes after the game. Maybe she knew.

I hear the bidding for Herman is starting at about 5.5Mil per year. Might have UT, LSU, and Oregon chasing after him. Maybe even A&M if they want to keep him away from Texas.

Sad times man. UT brass is having a hard time deciding if they should keep their word and let him coach out the string (possible bowl game), or keep him from dangling in the wind and announce it later today. I'm guessing they'll save him dignity and announce his firing soon. He did a lot of good for the program and the kids, just didn't equate to wins.

Herman will be announced by Friday after Thanksgiving.

Crying for about a 10million buyout. That is a lot to cry over. Life must be tough.

he put a lot into these kids. they really loved the guy. They are young and mistake prone and Charlie + staff just couldnt get it done.
Lots of close games this year but couldnt win many of them. Time to move on....
