Mike Yurcich (Unemployed)

[billmac91]

Do you really get play calling duties though? I thought Herman called the plays. It's probably the reason Beck was "reassigned" and not canned but Herman couldn't show no changes on offense staff.

Word is Herman is handing the keys to the offense over. I expect he will have veto power in the same sense Meyer did, but I think he was given an ultimatum by the powers that be, that he find a competent OC, or pack his bags....

This is his last go around. I’m not surprised Herman picked a guy who coached under Day for a year. In fairness, Yurcich has already had success in that conference at Oklahoma State as well, but I think it’s a good hire by UT.

Wow, interesting read. Sounds like a perfect fit then for Titty Bar Tom.

LMAOOOOOOO fuck me they’re an insecure bunch

Sounds like an ideal fit in Austin

He won't do much with Texass' offense. Given that UT football lives and dies off substantial recruiting, they won't have the talent to be as potent as they were during the late 2000s with VY and Colt.

Whatever makes them feel better after another failure of a season. What's their record this decade again? How many Big-12 championships?

Bad and zero.

If we wanted him... he wouldn't be leaving.

Lack of communication. In recruiting. All you have to do is talk to the kid and let him know he's good at football.......and you almost fucked that up.

Cool.

The article looks pretty fair. JB's summary of it is fanboy bullshit.

This is fanboy bullshit.

Don’t fault him at all. Guy was an OC at Oklahoma State leading prolific offenses. Being a QB coach at OSU was a short-term move until he found his next stop.

Being named Texas OC is a big deal even if we dislike Herman. I don’t think Day has an issue with this at all.

I disagree it’s a lateral move....there’s a significant difference in QB coach and being the OC and getting play-calling duties.

If Texas turns it around next year, he’s in line for a decent HC job after working under Day and then revitalizing Texas. If Texas doesn’t improve, he can always latch on elsewhere. I get it.

This is definitely not fanboy bullshit. Fair and reasonable. Excellent post.

Thanks for your contribution and good luck. With responsibility and authority come accountability. With bad bosses, expect the accountability side to overwhelm the balance, so good luck.
