I have no doubt this is true and I am sure that I am not the first person to say this, but I rather lose out on a few recruits this cycle and get the right coordinators rather than rushing a hire and then have poor results on the field for a year or two. Obviously the preference would have been to get a good Coordinator earlier, but that is not where we are.

There’s no exact science to hiring coordinators. No perfect timing or process. As long as he gets it right, who cares.

It’d be great to land Shemar and get it right, though.

You still feeling Belk with each passing hour? Just seems so weird for him to allegedly be the guy and to still keep it quiet.

I still think he's holding out for ND but hey, what do I know.

Catch 22… all this money to hire an OC but that OC has to live up to the money he’s making.. and there’s not a lot of sure things to choose from.

Then, when you rule out the philosophical differences that Mario doesn’t want such as Air raid there’s even less to choose from.

I wouldn’t count on belk, Brady, whipple being here more than 2 years. Same with any other NFL guy they bring in. They’re going to ride TVD and Jake to a better job in the pros or HC gig

Slightly different question on Mario's proclivity to take his time when hiring coaches.

Certain media members covering recruiting reported that the absence of coordinators is negatively impacting our recruiting efforts.

True or false?

Given the media's proclivity to report opinions as if they are fact, who knows? If they are producing direct quotes from recruits then I would say true. If they are hearing from unnamed "sources" then I would be skeptical.

Man just offer Tom Herman and tell him we’ll give whatever the buyout is. Just has to stay atleast 3 years. That’s how you throw money around.

I have always wondered with the coaches who get fired and then get paid as long as they dont take another job or the difference if they do, what is to stop the next school from signing a multi year deal with them and structuring it so that it is almost all paid in the backend.

For example (with made up numbers), let's say Herman has 2 more years that Texas is paying him $5M per year, but it is offset by any new jobs he takes. Miami is willing to pay Herman $2M per year for a guarunteed 2 years. Rather than giving him a contract for $2M in 2022 and 2023, why not give him a guaranteed contract that is 200K in 2022 and 2023 and then $4M in 2024 and 2025 with a buyout after 2023 that would pay him $2M in 2024 in 2025 if we were to fire him or he was to leave. So essentially he still gets his full UT salary for 2022 and 2023 and in 2024 and 2025 he gets his salary for those years plus $2M per year for the previous two.

I have to assume that if I am smart enough to think of this, that the lawyers that make these contracts are as well and are able to block this somehow.

I can assure you it doesn’t help. So status quo or it hurts.

And that’s why I wholeheartedly agree with what @Coach Macho says in the Shemar thread. Until proven otherwise, I don’t see Shemar coming here since they keep hinting that not having a DC in place is a concern, not to mention the negative recruiting. As much as I love Mario, this needs to be done with at least the DC, IMO, based on the 2022 targets on the table.

I don't know the details of Herman's contract, but I believe it's common in some contracts for the University to be relieved of paying ANYTHING once the fired HC accepts a new job (you assume they still have to pay the difference, but I don't think that's true).

So if Herman accepted a job at Miami, Texas might not have to pay any more buyout money, regardless of Herman's contract size here. So he's actually choosing between 1.5m versus 5M.
