Wow. Did anyone else listen to Jeff How today on 104.9 the Horn talking about Tom Herman around 11:45? It was really refreshing to hear.
He started it with "it doesn't really matter anymore, so I am going to say what I really think." That sure got my attention.
Major points:
- NO ONE liked Tom Herman-nada
- He had no allies, so no one stood up for him-at least Charlie had people rooting for him to succeed!
- His introductory press conference left the reporters with a weird feeling
- They never knew who he was and still don't!
- Forget Iowa State-they knew it was a done deal after OU and "EyesofTexasgate"
- The players hated him
- He is an incredibly inauthentic person who never demonstrated caring for anyone but himself
- And apparently, there are some pretty juicy stories or facts that haven't come out - Let's hope they do!

Has the" tell all" firing article been published yet? I'm dying to read it.
In the glory days of business, at the dawn of the interwebs, big shots would get fired and find themselves locked out of their office. They couldn't get to their computer and everyone was too stupid to have copied all their files onto hard drives (which were huge and really shitty, anyways.)
When they fired our NYC chairmen mid-90's, they changed the locks on his office and he couldn't get in to get his shit. They said they would send it to him, but of course, the computer and his Rolodex (lol) was company property, so he was pretty screwed.
I read recently that he and his wife both died of Covid 19 within days of each other which is sad, as he was genuinely a nice guy.

NS probably won’t be able to pass against Westlake much. It’ll come down to the run game, NS has an o-line like nothing Westlake has faced this year. I could see NS winning 28-14 or maybe 28-21. LT (or their fans at least) came in very cocky against NS in the semis two years ago and got absolutely fuckstomped. More humble last year and a little closer game. NS is top dawg in the state until proven otherwise.
Fair enough. I'm not picking us to win, but I don't think NS curb-stomps us, either. North Shore has everything in their favor - location, school-size (4,880ish to 2,780ish) extremely talented players and great coaching. Aww, heck, maybe they will curb-stomp us!

Has Westlake played anyone good this year? Seems like Hays and them haven't really played good teams other than each other. Look forward to the next games.
We haven't played the top competition this season, as the Southlake game got cancelled and LT also cancelled their game with us. We did beat Hays 59-6 and they're playing in the 6A D2 state semifinal, so I guess they turned out pretty good.
Not sure we can beat North Shore. I sure hope North Shore makes the same mistake Allen, SLC (twice) and Katy did against Westlake under Todd Dodge and thinks there's no way we can beat them.
Central Texas doing really well right now with 4 teams (Westlake, Hays, Cedar Park & Liberty Hill) in the 6A & 5A semifinals.

It wasn't just Strong's guys. I also heard from my spies on campus that the current players hated Herman.

It just pisses me off. Tom should have been the guy. These Bowl games show he has the ability to get it done here, but he was too fucking arrogant to put it all together.
I disagree with this. We have shitty seasons so we end up in bad bowl games against bad teams or teams that don’t want to be there. Big difference beating a bad team in a exhibition team and beating the teams we always lose to under Herman Munster.

I have to think that guys like JQJ would still be around if they knew Herman and crew would not be. The fact that we keep holding on to this asshole while on double secret coaching search (or not, depending on what you believe about CDC's shitastic sound bite) is going to put this program back in the hole we have been trying to get out of for a decade.
I am soooooooooooooooo fucking sick of watching this slow motion train wreck. I feel like what aggers must feel like year after year.
Please just fire this stupid fuck. I don't really care who is next.
This, please. If you really want to torture yourself, go to the recruiting threads, and be amazed at good citizens posting about how great this 3-star, 3A RB is, or how amazing that 3 star WR is going to be. It's like somehow they haven't noticed that this head coach is UTTERLY INCAPABLE OF MAKING PLAYERS BETTER and now he can't even recruit the star players.
If you care about UT football, you should be doing everything you can to get rid of Turtle Tom. Send an email to CDC. Post on social media about how much he sucks. Do not send your money to UT. Me? I now send my nastiest memes to my boys at 104.9 the HORN in hopes that they will read them on the air. Sometimes, they do.

Hahahaha yeah, I can promise you my problem is not a belief that Tom Herman is the man to fix Texas Football.
I hear you. Sadly, I now believe that whom we recruit makes absolutely no difference whatsoever until Turtle Tom is long gone. He will make sure every recruit underachieves. At this point, getting excited about potential recruits is equivalent to admiring the paneling on the Titanic as it sinks beneath the waves.

Late to the party, but hook 'em! If you can't get the top-tier ultra-polished WRs, grab a guy with measureables and production and stick him in the weight room.
Keep pumping that California sunshine. Maybe Tom will turn it around next year. Or the next year, for sure.

Thanks, man. I appreciate your insights. Here is why I am picking my Chaps: my wife wanted to put away her reindeer statues that sit beneath the TV, but I made her leave them up since they graced our living room during our glorious 6A D2 championship run last year. They will provide the difference.
