So that leaves 3.25m to keep Aranda from going to Texass.

Yeah but he also has beaten OU AND Louisville this year and he beat Jimbo last year in the bowl game. That was with Houston talent

Which is why they should have structured it heavy on the backend. This flat guarantee shit is why these salaries are so skewed now.

Some of you guys need to stop fucking whining like someone screwed your sister. This is not a bad hire! We will get a great (probably the best recruiter) a great motivator and I feel we will have a rock solid oc. We will keep aranda and be back in the hunt soon. I think Herman would have been the "sexy hire" but maybe not the right hire. If he really wants the cluster fuck at Texas he can have it. We will be fine the sky isn't falling and we have a solid HC. Time to start working.

Can only hope it was a flash in the pan now.

He also shit the bed against horrible teams. Not worth 6 mil sorry

I'm just hoping he goes to UT and not A&M.

You can have my season tickets. You can also holler Yaw Yaw the whole time while you are there.

The two guys we wanted demanded Saban money with long term contracts and high buyouts. If they flop we would have been stuck with them, at least now we have an out a couple years down the road if things go south. I would have wanted a younger guy, but not at that price. Those long contracts and high buyouts could be worse than the NCAA giving you sanctions as far as setting a program back. Look at what 10 years of Les playing with our offense got us. Plus if Herman really rather be at UT he could bolt next year if Charlie were to survive then we would be right back here again.
