COACHING/ADMIN UPDATES MEGGGGAAAAAAATHREAD

I’m surprised Herman’s name hasn’t come up more for us. Not sure how others feel about this, but I thought it was a mistake for Texas to fire him. He had Texas going in the right direction, and seemed close to having them elite. Their 3 losses last year were by 2 points to TCU, 3 points to Iowa St, and went to triple OT with Oklahoma. Their offense has been very good the past couple seasons, really just needed to tighten up the defense. They won some big games with him - UGA in 2018, blew out #12 Utah in 2019. He was also a very good recruiter. He’s coaching as an analyst with the Chicago Bears, so no buyout. My only hesitation would be all his ties have been to Texas for a while, so would need to adjust to recruiting in FL. But potentially a hidden gem option for us.

Agreed, the guy is an ace recruiter as well. I like the hire a lot.

I was saying the same thing in this thread as well. Hopefully, he is taken into consideration.
 
Is it Monday yet?

Nothing is going to happen. We lose by 30 plus to UNC and then we will see 5k in the seats the rest of the schedule.

Remember Fickell was given the keys to the Ohio state Porsche and immediately crashed it. The next year they went undefeated with another coach. Coaching at places like Ohio state and Miami is different than Cincinnati.
You're really counting that year against him? The year he was thrown in as an interim hc after Tressell resigned in May of that year bc of the tattoo-gate scandal? He still went 6-6 as a first time hc without his own staff/assistants. There's no way i count that against him. Oh yeah, the coach who succeeded him was urban meyer so there's that. Not many other coaches would have gone 12-0 their first year.
 
Soooooooo, after a week of publicly stating how invested UM is into its football program, you prove everyone right?

I appreciate herbie starting this but I think the BOT cares even less than we all thought. If they think this is salvageable, then they just started paying attention

Herman was a board favorite before we went to Texas, I recall. Man, he really flamed out. Between him and lash, lots of G5 > P5 flameouts
I don't think he flamed out, per se, he just didn't do the job we thought he'd do.

I'd interview him for sure.
