I was wrong about Tom Herman.

[TheEye]

I thought he was a good coach once. I was wrong. I will eat my crow.

 

[TemplarCane]

You and most of CIS.

 

[Captain Cane]

He was to Ohio State what Lashley has been to us and without him that year they kept losing Qb's there is no way OSU wins title that year.

Lashlee to Texas in 3!

 

[407cane]

I'm happy to say that I was on the other end of that spectrum a few years back on here when we were all debating, dude doesn't have it, never did. Very glad we didn't get him

Boooooooooooo! As OC or HC? Texas isn’t firing Herman yet. Beat OU next week and all is forgiven.

 

[citizenkane]

pay lashlee whatever he wants...lifetime contract

One thing for sure is you can bet the overs in that game next week if it’s anything under 75 cause both those defenses SUCK !!!

Shiny new toys are sometimes made in China.

They look nice from the oustside, but fall apart with time.

Seems like a coach with a pulse could be good at Texas.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Guys get blank checks and still can’t win there. Crazy

Seriously. What advantage does Texas not have?

Elite recruiting base. Check.
Unlimited funds. Check.
Passionate fan base. Check.

Hires great coaches. Oops.

 

[gacaneaddict]

Herman is not good, and I Thought he would be

Texas has gone with The Next Big Thing twice in a row.

Charlie Strong had seemingly resuscitated Louisville and was the hot coach at the time

Tom Herman has taken over Houston and was beating Oklahoma with the Cougars.

Strong inherited a very comfortable, very complacent Longhorns squad whose talent level was on the downswing. Texas was used to only having to compete with OU in the Big 12...by 2014 Baylor and Oklahoma State were challenges as well. And recruiting-wise, LSU was making inroads. Strong fought hard to instill a different ethic, and in his first year kicked off 9 players from the squad.

Herman inherited a dispirited squad and went Bill Belichick, enforcing rigid discipline and rules. He’s recruited well, but has seemingly regressed in the last two years.

 

[Canes2082]

Went over to their board and they are all talking about Urban Meyer..... Fire Herman go get Urban.

One guy said we have morals here at Texas and the next comment was Fu*k morals I want championships lol

 

[We’reBackCane]

Can’t blame them for taking this shot...but unless they make a real run this season they may toss him.

 

[Moonman]

Zach Smith may be a douchebag but he was prescient about Herman.

Lack of culture is the biggest cancer to any program. Once you find your football program suffering that decay, it's nearly impossible to recover. Mack Brown was very lax, and that laxed attitude settled in. It'll happen to UNC at some point.

Herman may be a good coach, but he doesn't seem to be the guy that can get passed the aforementioned culture issues.

 

[htownkidd]

Corch for sure.

You are correct my friend! Beat the rival and all is forgiven!
