Ot: tom herman is no savage

Maybe his heart is really not in to it w Houston as it's been rumored that him to Texas is dang near a done deal. Just one more i to be dotted and it's just formalities at this point.

Right, Herman is overrated and Richt is infallible. So, I guess we're just looking past the part where Herman beat a Fuente coached team last year. The same Fuente that just coached circles around Richt.

terrible point.... I didn't realize Richt lost to Memphis??

who has said Richt is infallible. I do find the idea that Herman is somehow even in the same conversation as Coach Richt as a HC hilarious though.
 
So now Richt is "infallible" because we're pointing out Herman's choke job? Stay focused, fellas. Just hold out for the next Can't Miss Flavor of the Week.
 
Houston crapped the bed with everything on the line last year to...UCONN!
Now they've lost to Navy, a bad SMU, and held off mighty Tulsa. He's coaching himself right of the Texas job.

The same Houston team beat FSU in the peach bowl and made them look like trash...I doubt Texas is doubting his abilities if they were willing to hire Strong.

I believe that was Bud Foster.. but go on.

Fuente is the head coach, and his offense put up 37 points against us. If anything, pointing out what Foster's defense did against our offense only hurts your argument. It's not like it's a secret that Foster likes to blitz.

37 points against a depleted defense with about 6 Freshman starters lol

To be clear, my point was not to **** on the defense. I thought they did as well as could be expected under the circumstances. I was simply pointing out that Richt just lost to a team coached by a guy who got beat by the same coach that people are attempting to marginalize in this thread.

Saban lost to Hugh Freeze who lost to Justin Fuentes who lost to Tom Herman who lost to Bob Diaco. Diaco > Saban.

I thought people learned a long time ago that these comparisons only make you look silly.

I really doubt beating FSU completely negates losing to UCONN, Navy & SMU.
 
my guess he doesn't care he already has one foot out the door . Heck he might be recruiting for texas right now

Bob Diaco lost to Curtis Johnson. Curtis Johnson > Saban and he's not even a coach anymore.

I think Herman is a promising coach. We'll see how he does at Texas when he has to spend 22 hours a day massaging the nuts of billionaire donors who demand that a certain player start or the bag man won't be visiting particular recruits. Might turn out to be an NFL caliber coach, but would not have been a good fit at Miami because we needed a coach who knows how to recruit Miami and has established relationships with the high school coaches in Florida. Shannon and Golden, by all accounts, destroyed Miamis reputation with a lot of Florida schools. You can say a lot of things about Richt, but is one of the best with establishing trust with parents and coaches. Second the negative recruiting would be too easy for someone like Saban - "Sure he's a hot shot coach, but what's his track record in a major conference?" or "As soon as he gets a taste of success he'll jump to a bigger school or the NFL just like every other Miami coach who used the school as a stepstool." I mean if you guys want to have wet dreams about another teams coach, then by all means, enjoy your rubber sheets. We hired the non P5 hot shot non-Florida outsider last time around and you can see how that turned out. Miami is not one or two players away from competing for a national championship. This is a total rebuild. To do that, we needed a coach who already knows the most promising 9th,10th, and 11th graders in Florida football. Had to be Richt or someone like him (I would have also liked Charlie Strong, who built a great team in Louisville with mostly Florida talent). But even in the. 001% chance that Herman would have accepted a job here, let's assume he was a genius and had the teams offense clicking. Based on his track record, he beats teams like FSU and UNC, then drops games to FAU and App State. Or he has us at 11-0, cruising for a playoff spot, then gets blown out by Duke the last game of the season. This is what his 19-3 career has shown so far.

So the defense did as well as could be expected under the circumstances, but not the coach? I'm confused.
 
Oh and by the way, since you are all dazzled by Herman's first two seasons, why don't you take a second to look at Richts first two seasons. Both beat FSU, but one of the two finished #3 overall and won the SEC championship. I'll let you guess which one.
