I imagine they already have a deal worked out with Herman (or someone) but it would be funny as hell if it fell through somehow.

My god the fun his agent is going to have with this. He can literally leverage them for more money than anyone else in coaching is making. What choice do they have?

Source: Texas decides to fire Charlie Strong as football coach

The University of Texas has decided to fire Charlie Strong as football coach, according to ESPN's Brett McMurphy and multiple reports.

Strong is 16-20 in three seasons at Texas and 12-14 in Big 12 play. If he coaches his final game at Texas as expected Friday against TCU, a source told McMurphy, Strong will clinch either a bowl bid or his third seven-loss season.

Strong has a regularly scheduled meeting with the team Sunday night and a regularly scheduled news conference Monday.

Strong told ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit Sunday night that he had heard the reports that he was going to be fired, but he had not heard anything yet from the university. Strong added that he planned to attend his regularly scheduled Monday press conference and talk about Friday's opponent TCU.

Texas athletic director Mike Perrin issued a statement earlier Sunday night addressing the reports and saying the university would continue to evaluate Strong.

"There are a number of rumors out there about the status of Coach Strong." Perrin's statement said. "I've said it all along, we will evaluate the body of work after the regular season. We have a game to get ready for against TCU on Friday, and I hope our fans will come out and support our team. We'll discuss where things stand after that."

Strong is owed a buyout of $10.7 million for the remaining two years on his contract, a fee that would be reduced if he takes another job. The decision to part ways with Strong became inevitable Saturday night after Texas (5-6, 3-5 Big 12) lost 24-21 in overtime to a Kansas team that was 1-9 and had lost its past 19 Big 12 games.
