Title: Report: Tom Herman to Texas is ‘All But Official’
Post by: Marshal Dillon on October 24, 2016, 08:01:21 PM
Here we go again. Believe it when I see it.



Quote
In his first season as the head coach at Houston last year, Herman led the Cougars to a 13-1 record, which was a significant improvement over the team’s 8-5 record the season before. The former Ohio State offensive coordinator began the 2016 campaign with an impressive win over Oklahoma, and he has been linked to more than one high-profile head coaching job.

Could happen but seems very premature at this point.

TX should think twice about Herman.  This is only his 2nd year as a HC.  UTX is a much higher profile job than Houston.  IMHO, he needs to prove himself a little more.

Houston's team isn't playing well right now.
Maybe the rumors are contributing to that, but maybe not.

I'm with McBaman, this guy may not deserve the $$$$$$ being thrown his way.

BUT, we'll snatch up Charlie Strong as an assistant!  :lol2:

My understanding is that Texas is as big, or bigger, a mess than Bama was before Saban came with too many people meddling in the program and pursuing their own agendas. Saban was about the only guy in the country who could come to Bama and demand whatever he wanted from day one. A young guy with little head coaching experience and no history of success to leverage is probably not going to fix the mess at Texas.

That's an excellent point.
We'll see how smart he is very soon.  Expect an announcement within a week.

For all these excellent reasons, I hope this deal gets done. It's gonna take at least another 5-8 disastrous years to wash the hubris out of the self-impressed bloviators of lone star state.

I remember when RichRod rumors (or coaching inattention?) cost WV a shot at the natty, losing to Pitt the last game of the season when they were in the top 2.

But I thought UT already hired Saban for 100 million.  :eyeroll:  :facepalm:  :lol2:

I would probably agree if I knew what you said...  :-[

Of course there will be a brief stay of execution after CCS beat undefeated Baylor.

Could TX possibly get into the Big XII champ game?  Just asking...

Well I for one don't see all this happening. I think TX hangs on to CCS one more year and Coach Herman will be gone somewhere else like Baylor before that. RTR!
