OT Tom Herman wants out of Texas

Advertisement
Sheesh. Austin’s a tough job. My former colleague is an alum & very active in their alumni association. They have been absolutely jonesing for a Nat’l title since tasting one in like forever back in ‘06.

They expect immediate results. They don’t realize that Herman took over a Texas program from 2010-2016 that was an utter mess.

However; Tom Herman da gawd, was actually trending down at Houston prior to accepting the UT job. I think Texas pulled the trigger too quick. I was a Herman fan, but I must admit, I also didn’t pay attention to him except the memorable 2015 season and beating the mighty Semenholes in a NY6 bowl. The following yr, Houston took a step back, & UT pulled the trigger.

It’s starting to look like the one 13 win season in Houston was more fluke than reality. He’s 4-0 in bowl games, but his team is typically around 7-9 wins.

Edit: had hella typos in the original post. Lol. My fault. Liquor.

That story sounds like it was leaked by Urban Meyer, who wants the job and is likely twisting the knife in Herman's back.

Herman was supposed to take over LSU before Texas swooped in. Wonder how he would have done there instead...

I don’t particularly care for G5 coaches trending down before accepting a P5. Most tend to flop at the P5 level. So I’m not sure what he would’ve done at LSU. I’m sure his 2015 season will buy him another benefit of the doubt gig
 
My prediction that Mullen is going to be at Texas next year is increasingly likely. No Cristobal, Meyer, and Herman wants out. In the era of coaches getting contract extensions even after losing to 1 win teams (Mario), it's extremely interesting that Mullens contract is coming up and he still hasn't re-upped with UF. His agent couldn't have played it better, Texas is going to make him a ludicrous offer and UF will have to counter. UF doesn't have the money to match but maybe they kick it up to 7 mil from 6 mil. Texas will go 10-12 mil I think. So comes down to how much he wants stay in Gainesville and if he's willing to take a big discount.

Charlie Strong was trending up before He took the job. Face it, Texas kids are overrated, the HS politics are a headache (from what I've read), & the job's career suicide if you fail there.
