  • Almost as unceremonious as his past 2 victories to finish off the season, Tom "the turtle" Herman has been removed as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns. 
     
    We don't really wish you anything, but to get the hell out of here Tom.

    He also doesn’t have a staff of buddies he will be bringing along

    Just thinking the same thing. 

    Not thrilled, but until he loses two openers to Maryland and incorrectly references Of Mice and Men as an excuse, I'm willing to believe.

    Dare to dream we might beat OU and TCU in the same season.

    We only know Tom isn't an offensive guru because of his time here. At Ohio State he was absolutely thought of as the offensive mastermind, just like you think Sark is now.

    I’m sure there were some people who considered Tom an offensive mastermind when he was hired but his performance under Meyer didn’t mean much of anything. Herman’s resume was thinner than Strong’s when he was hired and he was more a product of media driven hype than real success.

    @immamac this thread should be retitled—Herman Fired.  Sarkisian Hired (but only according to FCB)

    I'm happy for Sark.   Hopefully he makes the most of the opportunity to redeem himself and turns Texas into a Saban-like machine of dominance.  Hook'em!

    It’s a terrible hire and you should feel bad. 

    I agree it’s a bad hire. That doesn’t mean satya’s reasoning is at all correct.
    You seem to be confusing me pointing out bad lines of thought or your general idiocy with being in support of the Sark hire.

    Washington was a historically solid program that bottomed out after a legendarily bad hire in Tyrone Willingham. Sark ended up rebuilding the program to where they were at least a bowl team. He was also 7-19 vs ranked teams there and lost those games by an average of 23 points per game.

    And that's the nicest thing you can say about his head coaching resume.

    He was considered a rising star at the time, which is why USC plucked him away.

    Herman did more to send those guys to Bama than Sark.  Herman may win the reverse recruiting championship this year. 

    No.  It was the rumors of him being fired.  He had 3 very good classes.  This year at 17, OU had a very good class.  That's who we lost players to this year.  Alabama got a couple, but they get a couple anywhere they want.

    Hopefully someone in this thread can make a joke about us hiring that coach at North Carolina again.  Those are really funny.

    UH is a much easier place to win at than Washington, especially when Sark took over.

    He's so irrelevant now it would make sense. ESPN is saying we're targeting Sark. Feldman is dancing around it delicately. Chip went full Leroy Jenkins.

    He built a top 10 program while running a 1980's offense. I will take that plus an offensive mastermind at the helm. 

    He is 52-14. Been to the playoffs twice. That would be an absolute fantasy after the decade we’ve had.

    I dealt with Steve a lot while he was at Washington. First thing to know is he is incredibly bright. He learned a lot at Washington and fought some demons. He's a bright, articulate, charming, engaging guy who is also competitive as hell. He's appeared to put his demons behind him.

    You're going to love Sark. It will be interesting to see who he fills his staff with. Knowing the competitive nature of Sark, I'm sure he negotiated a large assistant salary pool. If he gets Tosh Lupoi on staff, watch out. Tosh is one of the best recruiters I've ever dealt with. He's currently with Atlanta.

    He's an outstanding recruiter and phenomenal working with QB's. He trusts his guys and has an edge. Guys love playing for him.

    Texas didn't hit a home run with Sark. They hit a grand slam.

    Drayton seems to be really well liked by a lot of players. I know he’s basically the reason Bijan come here. Whittington basically threatening to leave if he goes. I’d imagine he gets retained.

    Not a football expert by any means, but certainly a world class alcoholic in my day for about 35 years.  No need to revisit the genetics of alcoholism, but suffice to say, those guys are right, stress doesn’t lead to alcoholism. However, it is one of the biggest causes of relapse.  Keep that in mind.  Horrible hire for a place like the University of Texas.  There are no guarantees in life, but stress being related to relapse is one of them. 

    Since Texas is a no pressure job, we should be good, right?

    • Figured it was time to take a look at why we are struggling running vs Georgia. There are many reasons. Sometimes we just aren't physical enough and don't block through the whistle. We turn guys loose too early allowing them to get back in the play. Sometimes the bunch sets don't help as they bring too many defenders close to the ball that wouldn't otherwise be there. However, most of the time it's just simply players losing 1v1 battles or just missing their assignment not Georgia stacking the box to take away the run like SOME posters like to believe.

       

      Below we are running our signature OZ. GEORGIA IS IN NICKEL DESPITE US HAVING TWO TIGHT ENDS ON THE FIELD(12 personnel). This is where Sarkisian's stubbornness is bare ass naked for all to see. We should spread Georgia out an run on them like other teams do. But no we make the distance shorter for them to get to the LOZ. Some of you have heard me say you cannot beat Georgia by playing in a phone booth. This play is an example of that. At the snap Juan Davis(81) come across the formation to cut off backside pursuit freeing Helm up to climb to the backside LB. The line is dancing to left. Majors climbs to the second level to find work. That would make for a nice hole but Conner gets whipped immediately and Wisner has to move on. The edge would've looked pretty good but Golden runs right past the nickel. Wisner sees it, cuts it up, and just tries to get what he can.

      “Culture + Talent = Dangerous” 

      This school has always had the talent part down. Anyone who’s ever been to Austin understands why talented people kind of naturally want to be here. But now that we have a culture to match it, I mean, that’s just really, really bad news for every other team in the nation. 

      We are back to where we belong. Playing for all the marbles. 

      The Blueprint is there. 

      Now it’s time to execute. 

      Go out there and get one for your brother.

      Sincerely, 

      CJ
