As usual, take this with a grain of salt:
Last night Zenger met with Chunky after the coach's press conference as they normally do. Z believed Texas was not a very good team and Chunky disputed that. Z indicated to him that he wasn't projecting a "positive image" any longer and it reflected poorly on the University and the program and the fans were noticing it. He also said the workplace was suffering from poor morale. Chunky did not deny any of this.
Z asked him if he still felt he was able to coach out the season and C did not give a strong answer. Z said that if he couldn't coach, he probably couldn't recruit and maybe it was time to move up his departure date. C was indifferent and that bothered Z.
It was suggested that Bowen be given time as an interim coach. This would be a "trial balloon" for Z to throw him out to the fanbase. If he did well then they could justify hiring him (which was the plan). If he flops, they can just blame it on Bowen and move on. Either way Weis was indifferent and so the decision was made last night to move on. That's the word that kept popping up: indifferent.
