Always hear about how when Strong came in he cleaned house. Maybe he shoudn't have. That's what hurts a school like Notre Dame, way too limited as to just who they can recruit. Alabama doesn't have that problem.

Other than Montrel Meander and Kendall Sanders, every player dismissed by Charlie Strong was given opportunities to stay on the team.

From TFloss above. There seems to be some movement on him, per OB. I think Herman really wants him at Texas. He is a very underrated player, IMO. Plays nasty!!

Inside Texas hearing RB Toneil Carter of Houston Langham Creek could be in play with the Herman hire.

[TFloss32]

A few notes on the team meeting from Inside Texas...

-this will be hardest offseason of their lives, they'll be mentally and physically the toughest they've ever been.

-Herman called out a few guys for slouching in their chairs, every player will be drug-tested when they return to Austin from Christmas break.

-if anyone tests positive for marijuana, or other drugs, they'll be called out in front of the team and essentially verbally ripped to shreds.

-nobody can leave Austin without clearing it with Herman.

-while the players were initially shocked, almost everyone shook Herman's hand afterwards.

I would be very disappointed if anyone tests positive for weed. Means they didn't take Strongs core values to heart, of worse, Strong allowed them to get away with it.

Yeah, I concur at this juncture.

The W/L sucks, but it's the same broken record. ..."if we just could get an average defense. ..."

I can't help but feel like it's coming soon with Gibbs...

[TFloss32]

Here's a video circulating today that I think is worth a quick look.

This is a small example of the "details" that Herman will be changing when it comes to social media, game day experience, etc.

Wait, didn't I hear this same thing when Charlie arrived

[TFloss32]

Wait, didn't I hear this same thing when Charlie arrived

Much of it for sure, but somehow the team became softer under Strong and they seemed to care more about him than being a great football player or having that love for UT.

I think a big difference will be things like the open-door policy where guys could hang out around Strong's office.

I think they'll love Herman, but it's going to be a lot more business-like and much less buddy-buddy.

803042289719226368

[Vito Corleone]

Is Aranda in our out, would someone please shit or get off the pot.

Just offer the dude 3 million and get it over with. Basically means he would be with Texas for a very very long time as few schools can offer him a head coaching gig that pays that much. He is going to have to take a pay cut if he wants a head gig at a lesser school.

24/7 saying Baylor is moving on from their negotiations with Chad Morris.

One of the reasons seems to be Morris having his eye on a potential A&M opening in 2017.

New canddiates are Dykes (Cal), Fedora (North Carolina) and MacIntyre (Colorado).

What if he ends up sucking and we can't fire him a la Kevin Sumlin?

[pgardn]

I think Herman may be a manipulator coach who likes the very personal practices. This means creating competition through animosity. I think he is the type of coach who enjoys a practice where everyone is pissed. I get that feeling. There are still quite a few coaches who thrive on these techniques. Lots of fights, lots of pissed off people. Practice with anger. Anger creates maximum effort. It's different than what I perceived from Charlie.

Could be wrong, but I don't think so.
Something about Herman...

[Avante]

So many Texas fans with...."see see ya hire a black head coach and look what happens". I doubt we ever see another black head coach at Texas.

And, ya don't really want to clean house like Strong did, ya want all the badasses ya can get. And no it's not about....developing young men....it's about winning foootball games.

Per Inside Texas, UT will see RB Eno Benjamin of Wylie East tomorrow.

Herman did offer while at Houston.

Well they're both from the urban Meyer coaching tree.

I guess we'll see

[TFloss32]

Also from Inside Texas, LB Baron Browning may be pushing his announcement date back even though he hasn't heard from Texas yet.

He's supposed to be committing tomorrow, but they think Texas is still the place he really wants to be.

[Das Texan]

The thing that helps Herman is the ties he has with the Texas program itself. I'm not sure if that was ever something Charlie had, i.e. the knowledge of the program or the confidence of the boosters that he 'got it' and understood what Texas football was all about.

[TFloss32]

I missed this earlier this morning, but Inside Texas is hearing the potential RB coach is known as an excellent recruiter.

They say Texas fans will be very excited if it happens.

[TFloss32]

OrangeBloods confirms Herman will not be retaining any of Strong's assistants.

Each one of them met with Herman this morning for about 10 minutes.

That's true. A big part of the 'outsider' status. Though I thought recruiting was the only thing Charlie didnt really suck at tbh.

[texbound]

Per Inside Texas, UT will see RB Eno Benjamin of Wylie East tomorrow.

Herman did offer while at Houston.

Was hoping Eno would get the call and i hope they offer. Kid is electric. I would be excited about a combination of Eno and Toniel Carter (if they could bring him in). Would lessen the sting of losing JK Dobbins. Also, gotta go full board after Baron Browning. The LB corps depth chart is starting to get a little thin after JM and Fowler.

Problem with Browning is him being an early enrollee.

They need to get him on campus ASAP because the recruiting dead period begins in two weeks.

[Blake]

That's true. A big part of the 'outsider' status. Though I thought recruiting was the only thing Charlie didnt really suck at tbh.

I think at Texas, the product sells itself so you're gonna get some 5 star kids no matter what.

But how did he do with swaying the kids that were a coin flip's chance?

I didn't really look too hard at it, but it seems to me he lost a few to aggy?

Jeez Strong put him off so badly that Texas is where he wants to be but he didn't include us in his final list of schools...I hope to continue to hear good things from recruits.

Crazy how much Herman elevated the reputation of Houston. We need more things like this that can get recruits excited about Texas we have become so stale it's not even funny. I'm tired of the "oh we're too traditional" for this or that...it hasn't done anything for us lately. Let's catch up with the competition and match the best of the best.

[TheMex]

Browning just announced that he won't announce tomorrow and needs more time to think things over. Wow.

[Vito Corleone]

If he gets Browning, I'm all in on this guy.

I don't know if he has any visits left or if he can do an unofficial, but he was my #2 recruit I wanted in this cycle. If we get him I'm doing flips.

[Kermit]

Jeez Strong put him off so badly that Texas is where he wants to be but he didn't include us in his final list of schools...I hope to continue to hear good things from recruits.

The Brownings loved Strong, but there was no guarantee that he would be back and Texas had (has) a case of the sucks. That's recruiting in a nutshell.

[Kermit]

Would Stidham still have all of his eligibility left?

He should have two years left, no?

[Vito Corleone]

I would think Stidham would have 3 years left plus a redshirt. Then again if he didn't play much he might have 4 full years left and no redshirt.

[pgardn]

803351007774261249

"Get a wig-check son and lose some weight"

[Blake]

He should have two years left, no?

Looks like 3 full years left.

Also looks like Florida is pushing hard to get him.

[TFloss32]

Looks like 3 full years left.

Also looks like Florida is pushing hard to get him.

He should have three since the JUCO he enrolled at for the fall semester doesn't have football.

He's headed to Auburn today and I feel like that's where he ultimately lands.

There have been rumors for months that Stidham and Briles' son, Kendal, would be a package deal to Auburn and their current OC, Lashlee, looks to be out the door.

That's not how I read it. Why would you being your statement with "despite agent reports"? You only say "despite" in this context if you're about to contradict said "reports"... I think he is coming back. His brother is there and they probably gave him the Ricky Williams pitch. Ricky got drafted very high so it didn't hurt him coming back one year and winning the Heisman.

[texas4ever]

I hope D'Onta goes to a team with a solid Oline. His style of play won't afford him a very long career so he will need all the help he can get.

He will go down as one of my all time favorites. To come in as a 2'star (I hate to say it but it's true) throw in, to become one of the all time greats. He has earned my respect and admiration.

I don't think he's a good fit for the Big XII. You need to be pretty offensive minded in the Big XII conference. Miles' style of play is like Mack's in his last years at UT.

Whomever enters has got a super tough job in that it most likely interim as it involves a thorough sterilization of Waco. They apparently still don't get it at Baylor.

At this point for Baylor the style of play is irrelevant.

They need a name coach that will come in, put out the dumpster fire, spray hand sanitizer everywhere and at least attempt to legitimize the football program.

4-5 years down the road, then you can fire him and bring in a high flying up and coming coach.

Interesting take. If that's the plan, then I guess it would be an ok hire but I doubt he would even make it 4-5 years TBH. It just seems like a bad fit.

Super happy for the kid. From a reject, package deal, 2 star, or whatever you want to call it to one of the greatest RBs ever at UT. Did he just kick off one of Cedric Benson or Jamaal Charles from the Texas Mount Rushmore of RBs? I think that he did.

yeah I don't really see it happening either. It's just what I would do if I was Baylor.

They'll probably get a relatively unknown coach who will struggle mightily in recruiting and the Bears will slide back down to the bottom of the conference where they were pre-Briles

Since there are four head on Mt Rushmore, I'd gather we are talking about the top 4 RBs in Texas history.

Earl, Ricky, ???, ???

Other contenders: Ced Benson, Jamal Charles, Eric Metcalf, Roosevelt Leaks, James Saxton, Chris Gilbert, Steve Worster and D'onta Foreman.

My top 4 are Earl, Ricky, D'Onta, and Jamal.

I could live with your list. However, I'm kind of partial to Earl, Ricky, Jamal and Eric Metcalf. Taking nothing away from D'onta, but I just remember Metcalf as a do everything back. He didn't have the rushing yards, but he was a hell of rusher and a really good pass catcher.

No Jonathon Gray or Butch Hadnot (I'm kidding)

You got Vince Young running with him. Vince did not look like he was even trying. Probably an unfair contrast but it was obvious.

Ced was great before Vince. One of Mack's all-timers not playing him in the Oklahoma game his freshman year.

[Vito Corleone]

Ced's biggest asset was his consistency as a runner. He wasn't big, or fast, or dominate runner, he was consistent. He stuck around for 4 years and put up good numbers every year. I watched every game Ced played in, and I can't think of a single game where he completely dominated.

He never had that one big year like D'Onta just had, nor that one big game. His is more of a lifetime achievement award.

I came across the Rambo offer and began digging from there, somehow ended up on Manning's account (I had forgot about him as a target of ours) just went to his recent follows and was pleasantly surprised. So to answer your question, yes I guess I was...quite interesting how much love Herman seems to be receiving.

[pgardn]

Ced was great before Vince. One of Mack's all-timers not playing him in the Oklahoma game his freshman year.

The distance between Earl /Williams and Benson is just a chasm. We need a lower level Rushmore I guess. Also, Leaks was incredibly consistent like Benson.Just did not have a good pro career.

Also, Benson has been involved in so many incidents almost every year... Ricky just flat out needed a little mental help IMO. May explain why Benson has not joined the family.

Because Earl ran in an offense that could not pass the ball. This is why you have to watch the games. So no, it's not crazy at all. Foreman having the threat of a pass was a huge help.
