Herman sucked the air out of our enthusiasm and seems incapable of turning this around. There are obviously several areas of concern but most are physical (play calling, line play, pass coverage, etc.) BUT the lack of fire is really disturbing. When's the last time we saw defensive players slapping someone on their butt and encouraging them? Jumping around, enthusiastically, showing emotion? Acting like it matters? (Not talking about the sidelines faking it on kickoffs, either). Blowing bubble gum bubbles doesn't inspire anything except ridicule. Imagine Saban or Bellichick or Darryl or (fill in the blank) acting like Herman does. Another chapter in the episode of "What's Happened to Texas" is about to unfold. Expensive payout, frantic coach search, a speech by the new guy about "building the program" (whoopee, heard that before?), five star recruits playing like walk-ons, rinse and repeat. I'm WAY too old to go through these continual cycles. Merry Christmas all.

I had hopes for Herman but as soon as he got here and started sledgehammering lockers and kissing the players I knew he was less than a coach and more like a "hey look at me" type.

This isn't just poor football, it is BORING.
