    Tennessee is probably the right answer, but they have now been bad so long they are no longer even relevant enough to get in the conversation. God forbid we end up there...

    Unless I am not remembering correctly, he was the only other coach that officially interviewed along with Strong. I think Mora had some preliminary conversations with Patterson but didn't come out and Briles supposedly only wanted the job offer and didn't want to interview.

    The only thing to potentially model from Franklin is the idea that a coach can suck in Years 1 and 2 and get it turned around in Year 3. Still think he would have flamed out as quickly as Strong did here had we picked him instead. PSU plays ridiculously easy schedules.

    I I didn't like the Herman hire either. I wanted a search. I think you increase your likelihood of getting a winner by getting a guy who could at least raise the profile of a low- to mid-tier P5. There are guys in the PAC and Big 12 who fit the bill, but Perrin decided the PR hit for one news cycle for potentially missing on Herman was worth risking another 3 years of the program to a guy who doesn't know what it takes to run and win in a P5 conference. Oh well, either Herman learns on the job fast or we are back to square one.

    I think CDC has room to make a move after this season if things truly go south. He's a new AD. It will be easy to tell the next hire that he is Del Conte's guy and will be given time to turn it around. Del Conte can talk about lack of trust with Herman over the OSU stuff as well. A problem could arise if the next guy is gone after 2-3 years or if he tries to fire Herman with cause to avoid paying out the full contract amount. But I don't think we will struggle with the next hire unless we go big game hunting but don't want to go full aggy on the terms.

    I wonder what Mack's record would have been if the current 10-team Big 12 was what he entered into in 98. Even Mack said 9 wins was the new 10 wins when the Big 12 went to 9 games. Then add the yearly 2 P5s OOC, something Mack rarely had in the early years and struggled with during his reboot attempt. The level of coaching in the conference has also incredible since the move to 10 teams. The Big 12 South was basically the Mack and Bob show with Leach providing the main challenge in the later part of Mack's peak. He avoided Snyder and peak Mangino in most seasons. Patterson, Gundy, Holgerson and Briles and a yearly dose of Snyder has made this league a lot more difficult than it was when Mack entered. I doubt he would have ended up on the hot seats like his successors, but I also wonder if his coaching faults would have stood out much more in a league with so much quality coaching and a schedule with fewer gimmes.

    If you were the Tom Herman of bank robbers there would be no new heists to plan together as we would all be dead or in jail by now...

    When to retire?

    Short of an unprecedented meltdown where we win only a couple, Herman is our coach next year, so that is at least how long he will get. (Sadly, I am not sure he gets fired at 4-8 without some off-field issue.) He may win enough to get beyond year 3 and at that point we don't know who will be on the field or who will be the OC. Without added conditions, I think it is possible that a Cam Rising or Roschon Johnson could lead a future Herman coached team to a title, so I while I am not confident in Herman himself, I won't definitively say he can't win a title here.

    So let's flip the script, at what point will you call out Herman? What does he have to fail to do before you will want him gone?

    1-5

    mulletpellini's 3-3 forecast for us now seems like a best-case scenario...

    It is hard to believe that James Franklin still hasn't won as many games against ranked opponents at PSU after 5 years than Strong did in his 3 shitastic seasons here...Strong also still has a better winning percentage against ranked teams.
  15. rickyspub
    Sadly, I was in the Briles camp when Mack was fired. Briles seemed like the best pick when the other choices on the table seemed to be Strong, Franklin, and Mora. I don't think Mora and Franklin would have lasted any longer than Strong.

    I think CDC could get his honeymoon hire here and he won't have trouble dangling the job in front of guys who think they can do it better than Herman. I don't think it would be a hard sell for him to tell prospective candidates that Herman wasn't his hire and I am sure he will offer the coin and guarantees to prove it. The bigger question might be whether the big donors have given up on Herman and are willing to pony up for a change. Are Perrin's buddies in Houston ready to admit their coup was failed and fork over more cash so CDC can actually conduct a coaching search without their meddling?

    So no one asked if Steinbeck also liked to go to titters?

    These are sorts of profiles we should be looking for. Guys who understand the grind of a P5 schedule. There are too many gimmes in the G5 conferences. With our schedule you get one mediocre team in OOC and we don't even put that one at the beginning to give us a chance at even a tiny sliver of momentum. Everything else is a losable game. Even Kansas has players that can beat you or at least take their pound of flesh that leaves your team hurting the next week. It is better a coach that understands that dynamic even if they are losing some games because their try-hards can't regularly overcome the teams with legit talent. The problem of course is finding the right guy among the possibilities.

    He gone. I didn't even get to use all my negs...

    Don't get our hope up that Dickson returned...This is The Punter 2: Electric Digirdoo-galoo. The original story would have been better if Herman called him "The Punter" because he couldn't pronounce Bujcevski. Though I wonder what Herman would have called him if his nickname were 'Titter' instead of 'Dicko'?

    Wait, you mean to tell me that fucking sheep, sharing a jar to jizz into, and making bitches fake army generals hasn't caught on? Ah, but you forgot about promising not to lie, cheat, and steal but doing it anyway! Everybody does that now!

    In Italian 'sawing 'em off' means to jerk off. Aggy really likes group masturbation.

    Probably depends on what the prosecutors and judges decided...
