By the way.....with internet recruiting and 1,000 combines...it is almost impossible to find Ed Reed's these days. Kids do not fly under the radar anymore.

But winning is not supposed to matter to me? I don't know if I'll ever be able to grasp that. Forget the awards. You should want to be the best at whatever your chosen field is. I want my kids to win. Winners get the corner office, the big house, the hot wife, the whole nine. I said that at commencement. Then I said that the people who don't win, they get cubicles, the hoopty ride, the not-so-hot wife.

The best part about that article is that the branding and off the field acumen is really just a supplement to being known as a technical football guy. He's likely to succeed wherever he goes.

All coaches say or write something similar. Can they get it done?

That's my point. These thoughts are secondary to his ability as an actual coach.

He hasn't done anything yet?

He hasn't done anything as an actual coach? Nothing? This is a pointless discussion. Good luck.

Only worry I have is it's his first season at Houston. Any chance he'd be willing to take the job at Miami? He seems to be all-in on building up the Houston program.

He's all in on Houston until a better gig comes up. He doesn't want to be in the Group of 5 for long.

Miami is obviously an upgrade over Houston; however, is it the upgrade Herman is looking for after one year?

This dude's ego seems healthy enough that he sees Miami as the program he can win a national title with, whereas Houston is literally excluded from that conversation until they join a bigger conference, which is unpredictable.

Big recruiting backyard, terrible division in a Power 5 conference, good QB already in place...

In order to see that, he would have to suspend reality based on the BOT & AD. Remember our only outstanding coaching recruit so far has been Larranaga, and he recruited himself. Speaking of which so has Butch.

Has Herman ever had success offensively with a concrete-footed QB? Ward is an insane athlete, JT Barrett was an excellent runner as was Braxton Miller. Cardale Jones isn't a burner, but he's a good powerful runner who did a lot of damage with his feet in last year's championship run.

I don't believe he's worked with one who isn't a threat at all with their legs in the last 8 years.

During his two-year stint as the OC at Rice from 2007-2008, he improved their total offense ranking from 51st in '07 to 10th in '08. But Chase Clement, who threw for over 4,000 yards as a senior in '08, also ran for over 700 yards and was a 4.6 guy.

As the OC at Iowa State, he improved their Offensive S&P+ rank from 105th in '08 (before he arrived) to 42nd in '09 (his first year on the job) with Austen Arnaud at QB. Arnaud was a JAG who never averaged more than 4 YPC in a season and wasn't necessarily a great runner or athlete, but he wasn't completely immobile either. Their QBs in 2011 (Barnett and Jantz) were complete dumpster fires and their offense regressed. But Urban was smart enough to realize Herman was a great young coach in a disastrous situation talent-wise at ISU, so he didn't hesitate to bring him to OSU at the beginning of his tenure and the rest was history.

I'd imagine he'd exclusively recruit dual-threat QBs and adapt his offense to his personnel for the first year or two to cater to Kaaya's strengths.

People make a big deal about the system you run. But I've learned though the years that your system has to marry your talent. One of my proudest seasons is when we went 12-0 in my first year at Ohio State in 2012. Philosophically, we wanted to be balanced. But we couldn't throw the ball. We had a good line, a beast at tailback in Carlos Hyde and a freak at quarterback in Braxton Miller. It was one of my proudest achievements in coaching. We didn't try to fit a square peg in a round hole. And that's how we're going to approach stuff at Houston. You start with a vision of, "Here's who we are. Here's our beliefs. Here's how we play." What our vision may be is going to be entirely dependent on the players we have.

Miami is not interested.
 
I'll take a dog over Golden! Hire Lassie, Ren Ten Ten, Scooby Doo, Underdog, Ol Yella, Spotted Fire Fighter Dog, Pluto, Goofy, Astro, Mr. Peabody, Bart Simpson's dog Santa's Little Helper! Anybody anything, but Al PHUCKIN Golden!

Herman would be a serious upgrade and I'll restart my Swag that's rusting away in the barn.
 
chud will never coach here so the three percent of um fans who want him cry now, butch has a better chance n we probably wont get him

Miami just got 100 million from Adidas. If we don't get the best coach available because of money. I want to know where the fck the money is going...period.
 
He's not coming to Miami. I wish he would, but he won't. I'd keep your expectations more realistic.
