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.

Good stuff, big man.

My only concern with a guy who has done nothing but run that spread option with QBs who are a running threat is that he might struggle with a QB like Kaaya. Look at Chip Kelly in the NFL with QBs who don't or can't run. His offenses look pretty bad.

I've also seen quite a few college teams struggle with that system when they don't have a running threat at QB. Just look at how bad UF's offense got when Brantley had to play QB.

Philly was 2nd in total offense in 2013, 5th in 2014. Kelly hasn't had good QBs either.

I don't see it being a problem with Herman either.

Herman is the next dominate coach. Urban Meyer type of guy who has won everywhere he's been.

He's won 5 games.....5, Beeeyatch!

Herman hasn't done Sh*t!

Here we go, besides being perfect as a head coach so far, he's been a winner at every stop dummy. Educate yourself.

Rice Edit
In 2007, Herman then followed head coach David Bailiff from Texas State to form the new coaching staff at Rice. With a reputation for engineering high-powered offensive attacks, Herman’s offense smashed nearly 40 offensive records during his first season as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Owls.[citation needed]

Rice ranked in the Top 10 nationally in 2008 in passing offense (5th; 327.8), scoring offense (T8th; 41.6) and total offense (10th; 472.3). Two Rice receivers had more than 1,300 yards receiving that year, tight end James Casey had 111 catches and quarterback Chase Clement was the Conference USA MVP.[2][3]

Iowa State Edit
After building of one of the nation’s most prolific offenses at Rice, Herman joined the Iowa State as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.[1][4] Herman installed his system and brought new life into the offense.[citation needed]

During his three seasons at Iowa State, the offense improved considerably and broke numerous team and player school records.[citation needed] Iowa State's 52 points in a win over Texas Tech marked the most points put up by the Cyclones against a conference opponent in 38 years. Iowa State quarterback Austen Arnaud ended his career as the Cyclones No. 2 all-time leading passer with 6,777 yards and 42 touchdown passes. His 8,044 yards of total offense is the second-best total in school history. Running back Alexander Robinson finished his Iowa State career as the Cyclones' fourth all-time leading rusher with 3,309 yards.[5]

Ohio State Edit
On December 9, 2011, Urban Meyer selected Herman as his offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Buckeyes.[6] On December 9, 2014, after leading Ohio State's fourth ranked offense while playing two backup quarterbacks, Herman was awarded the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation's top assistant coach.

 

[WhatTheHell]

He's undoubtedly the top up and comer. He says all the right things, he's learned a lot from one of the best in CFB, and his offenses are amazing.

But he's still coached 5 games in his career. If we were able to not be cheap and hire a proven coach that's put up double digit wins at a program and has experience, that's the way I'd tend to lean. Like that Michigan's situation in that article, I don't think we can afford to gamble on this one, no matter how enticing the bet.

I'd be going hard after proven commodities first, but I love Herman.

Yup

 

[2FNFST4U]

His buyout eliminates him if we can't afford or won't buy out Golden they aren't coughing up 2.4 million to buyout a HC to come here

might as well eliminate everybody that's any good then. 2.4 million is nothing. Florida paid 7 million for McElwain who wasn't even a big name at the time.

BTW all the mid majors are doing this. Arkansas St was paying Harkisin about 850k and Boise bought him out of his contract for 850K. Blake Anderson the HC at ASU now had a 1.8M buyout after last season not sure if it dropped this year or not. They keep having HC leave for bigger gigs why not cash in Freeze, Gus, Harkisin,

i can *** with this, we need a slam dunk. if its anyone other than butch ill b ashow me first cuz al said all the right things, to me das fluff dont mean **** to me. i just want a gurantee.......dude is trippin with that chud **** he the only one in america talking bout chud.

 

[Dwinstitles]

stopped reading the article when he said dont marry the system, the players have to fit what they do best. wouldnt mind this dude to be honest, butch over all but this is now a second choice

 

[FINCHLION]

1. Chip
2. Herman
3. Butch

These three would get me sexually excited.

This would be my order as well. Butch would have this roster loaded, but the reason I do not want Butch because if he fails to win here I do not know if this program could ever recover, I couldn't take seeing butch lose here, imo he is not really an x an o coach so it may take him year three to bring things together. Chip would be a monster and south Floridian athletes would cherish in his offense. If he was available I feel opposing coaches would try to lure him away from coming to Miami, we would win the ship yr two with chip.

 

[The Franchise]

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.

Good stuff, big man.

My only concern with a guy who has done nothing but run that spread option with QBs who are a running threat is that he might struggle with a QB like Kaaya. Look at Chip Kelly in the NFL with QBs who don't or can't run. His offenses look pretty bad.

I've also seen quite a few college teams struggle with that system when they don't have a running threat at QB. Just look at how bad UF's offense got when Brantley had to play QB.

Philly was 2nd in total offense in 2013, 5th in 2014. Kelly hasn't had good QBs either.

I don't see it being a problem with Herman either.

How's their offense this year? What were the scoring offense numbers?

 

[NJshoreCane]

I'd take him, but why leave Houston for Miami? Are we really a step up at this point?

You're damaged...ex-wives, bad coaches and hand-grenades will do that to you.
