Historic Moment in Texas History

I never thought I'd see the day...

Beergut capitalized "Texas".

As a result, Ryan gives Sherm only about "a two percent chance" of getting canned after the 2009 season. Over at I Am the 12th Man, "Coach Beergut" thinks a firing is even less likely:

There is a zero percent chance he will be fired following the 2009 season, regardless of record. The only way he would be fired is if he did something completely immoral/illegal that embarrassed the school/program, or if he violated NCAA rules in an egregious manner. (I beieve all NCAA coaches have a similar moral turpitude/NCAA sanctions release clause in their contract.)

I think the minimum expectations in 2009 are a 6-6 record and a bowl berth. The fanbase will be happy seeing some improvement. If we win more than 6 games, that is gravy. If we manage to upset Texas or Oklahoma, the fanbase will be ecstatic.

If Sherman had another season where we go 0-5 against the other teams in the Big 12 South, there would definitely be some rumblings from the fans and some discontent, but he isn't going anywhere.

So if there is 0% chance of him getting canned after this year

what are the chances of them actually being able to pull of a 6-6 and get to a bowl?

How telling is that statement? If he goes winless again in his division there would only be rumblings from the Aggie faithful, but Sherman would still be the HC.

What a sad state of affairs for the cult to the east.
