FWIW Barton is a former player and staffer at tosu who apparently is tight with the Meyer family and runs a website BuckeyeScoop

Now let the laughing commence when they pay $20 million in buyouts to hire Bill O'brien

Don't believe that at all, tu will make him turn down 100 million. That's the number.

tu is too far gone down this path. They will offer him $100 million(or more) and I'd think he takes it.

They are desperate, and he is about as sure as bet as there is right now.

Meyer doesn't have anything left to prove and doesn't need the money. Why would he tarnish his good coaching record going to a dumpster fire that just doesn't have the culture to do well anymore. They've yee'd their last haw.

He has 100 million reasons to un-retire.

He's also got chronic stress related brain issues. Would you rather live longer with $30 million or die sooner with $130 million.

They will keep raising the dollar amount until he says yes. They are publicly searching for a coach without firing their current coach, they couldn't have handled this in a more inappropriate way.

So you turn down 84 million just to take 16 more million? Urban is already rich, and it doesn't make sense for him to squeeze out an extra couple million.

He's using them to get more money out of Fox, where he can make a couple million a year sitting in a chair working 25 hours a week, 14 weeks a year..... as opposed to 70 hours a week 50 weeks a year

Those only flare up when the NCAA is about to look into his program.

Urban is enjoying screwing with the coach who screwed with him.

Gotta be fun to be in his shoes watching hermensa squirm.

I don't like Meyer but I hate Herman more.

Total contract amount means nothing - he'll have "health concerns" again after a few years, so the yearly amount is more important than total amount.

Inappropriate $ip program is indeed inappropriate, if it means winning. And they are so desperate, inappropriateness will know no bounds.

He's not going to Texas for any amount of money. He sees they are a mess. If he wants to coach again he can find a school that will have a better chance to win big. He will make good money whatever he decides but going to Texas would tarnish his winning coaching record.

They are going for the ND guy. He only makes 3.75.
Meyer is probably not going to coach, if he does it will probably be the Chargers.

Sips should go make Dabo the 1st 15 mil. A year coach. 10 year deal. Open the vault make a statement. Meyer is done.

You might want to look into Dabo's buyout.......they'd owe an additional $15 million. So $20 million to Hermensa and assistants, $15million to Clemson....a nice $35 million in a pandemic year before the first paycheck is cut.

When you have **** you money, you can say, "**** you," to more money. At some point, mo' money stops mattering.

This is pretty on target. Belmont tower is too concerned these days with acting like a fake Harvard. The last thing they want is an arrogant, Hitler- esque coach like Meyer rolling his eyes at social justice. I'm not fully convinced Texas is going to fire Herman anyway. There is a decent chance he finishes 8-3 with a bowl win and can claim he was three plays from being 11-0.

Also agree with the poster who mentioned this process is being handled very poorly by UT.

Same thing they did to Mack Brown with the Saban nonsense. They could have replaced DeLoss with Oliver Luck as AD but Luck had one condition, Mack needed to be fired first. He didn't want to come in and summarily fire him.

Powers refused. So they went to Patterson who had no such qualms about firing Mack, right after a dinner honoring him the night before.

tu can't keep Herman now. Their AD, boosters, and local media have already undercut him to the extent that his ability to recruit is torched. A 'lame duck' 2021 would be a disaster recruiting season for them.

If Meyer turns them down, other names as a Plan B mentioned by their 'insider' types have included Franklin at PSU and Cristobal at Oregon.

Worst case scenario for them is Urban turns them down and some high profile coaches start using them to get pay raises at their current schools. And they have to settle for like their 4th or 5th choice. Who will still be probably a good hire but their fans will already be disappointed with whoever it is right out the gate cause wasn't Meyer.

When there is this much noise, that is usually all it is. Normally, there is a rumor and it gets confirmed or denied within a few days. It doesn't drag on. Few coaches like this much drama. They
Like control.

My guess: the sip admins are trying to show the base that they tried really hard to get CUM. Hoping the base forgives them when instead they hire some g5 coach.

Wrong! Urban Meyer is hanging out in Marble Falls, 30 miles from Austin, chilling out in the Texas Hill Country while waiting to commit to the sips as their next head coach...

Herman isn't exactly a poster child for having ethics. Horns aren't doing anything he wouldn't be doing if it were the other way around, and if he does get fired, he'll make out like a bandit.
