[QUOTE="Frog DJ, post: 2941348, member: 4918"] I’m not an insider, like some of the folks on this board, so my opinion is just that - pure supposition, but two factors seem to loom large if CGP is to seriously consider a move to Austin. 1. TCU has him under contract through 2024, and he stands to earn almost $25 million over that time span. That’s more that UT is paying Herman right now, and common sense dictates that CGP wouldn’t give up the job security of TCU for less money, so the Horns would have ante up. 2. That dovetails perfectly into the second factor. Herman has three years left on his current deal, and his buyout is north of $15 million, so that’s a double hit to UT’s pocketbook. Certainly, they are [U][I][B]more[/B][/I][/U] than capable of easily absorbing that, but it’s still a part of the equation for CDC. There are several other elements involved - like TCU’s recent run of mediocrity, the increased scrutiny over how CGP runs his program (he’s almost completely autonomous in FW) and he has made it clear he doesn’t want to coach forever. Would UT want someone who is likely to retire in a few years? So to answer your question about what my gut tells me - I don’t know [U][I][B]anything[/B][/I][/U] for sure, but I [I][B][U]think[/U][/B][/I] it’s reasonable to assume CGP doesn’t wind up in Austin. Just my nickel minus three pennies... Go Frogs! [/QUOTE]
