If Herman goes to TX then they won't need Saban..Sure Saban would pretty much guarantee NC but Herman can recruit...is a good coach...and will create a winning culture at Tx for a long time IMO. We really need TX to become a dominant force honestly again..Hopefully that happens in the next 2-3 years and they are playing for the playoffs then for the conferences sake. A powerful TX is def good for the stability of this conference and TV negotiations coming up in 5 years or so. The next 5 years with Tx and CMC at ISU will be the most crucial time ever in ISU athletics history..Really hope we CMC can get us winning and more than 6 games a year.
How many B12 jobs are going to open up?
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
This is much more likely than OSU letting Gundy go. As another poster said, he is probably the most underrated coach in the country.
I hate to break it to you but short term ISU football success (if it even happens) has little to do with realignment if the Big 12 crumbles. The Big Ten took Rutgers and Maryland for crying out loud. We just have to hope that if the Big 12 falters, other conferences will value our AAU status, fan support, and proximity geographically in Big Ten land.
Strong, Grobe - Texas will pay whatever Herman wants. Baylor will have trouble - they want to keep memory of Art alive so want to hang onto his boy - new guy has to be a patsy. Biggest donor has a mancrush on Art - a little too much I think. Baylor will be a mess for a long time.
They don't, and it's been reported openly. Boone Pickens is the kind of donor few schools have to deal with. It adds a dynamic of things off the field that come into play. Hard to say how that ultimately turns out, really.
If Gundy coaches someplace else it won't be because of how his teams did on the field.
That said, OSU's AD has a huge incentive to convince everybody to play nice. Replacing Gundy would be tough.
TT fans are saying they can't afford the $9.4 million buyout. They are furious with their AD for giving KK an extension two years ago when it really wasn't warranted. Sound familiar?
A lot of them never wanted him in the first place. And, any excuse to use one of lsufreek's gems....
Herman to Texas, Briles to Houston. Chad Morris to Baylor. Kingsbury gets a "Win 8 games or GTFO" year in 2017. Briles would be waiting for the Tech job.
Herman to Texas.
If so, then once again Texas will 'make hay' with a former Iowa State Assistant as their HC.
If Herman were not the obvious choice, I would say Major Applewhite would be the leading candidate for the Texas job (assuming that Applewhite wants to be a HC at some point).

Probably holding off on an official announcement until tomorrow.

Check out the amount of "Dead" money the Texas schools could be paying off if they fire their coaches:
"Yet the amount of money it would take to make the first three go away is pretty staggering. Strong’s buyout is $10 million – Texas boosters will take care of that one. But it would also cost a ton to get rid of Kingsbury (a reported $9.4 million) and Sumlin would be owed even more money than either Strong or Kingsbury if A&M were to fire him."

Beaty stays. Holgerson stays. Kingsbury might go, not sure about this one yet, but I'm leaning more towards him staying due to the cost of his buyout. Grobe (and hopefully the rest of his staff) goes. Strong goes, unless by some miracle he shellacks TCU next weekend and also annihilates a bowl opponent.
