Facts, it's time to cut bait. It would be foolish to trust Herman to make a good decision on the next coordinator and assistant hires after he screwed the pooch when he first got here. No established P5 coordinator worth their salt would hitch their wagon to Herman knowing that he is on the hot seat. You'd have to look at young, up and coming coordinators who are looking to boost their resume but there's absolutely zero guarantee that Herman would identify that type of coaching talent.
This situation is not going to get better, he's a 7-10 win guy and we won't win the conference title with him at the helm, he is what he is. His arrogance, stubbornness and refusal or inability to adapt to in-game situations will continue to be an anchor around this team. Do not be afraid to rip the band-aid off, just do it otherwise we'll REALLY be up Shit Creek at the end of next season and we're sitting at 6-6.
