Hey,
How is everyone this morning? Better I hope. I have been called a troll, aggy, been told to fuck off all because I didn't (don't) buy the herman hype. I never liked the arrogant prick and was very disappointed when UT hired him. Almost everyone of you guys are saying the same thing I said back then. All you guys said, well who else would you have hired. TH is the corch to put Texas back on top. He is not.
So here is my question, again. WHY DOESNT TEXAS DO AN HONEST COACHING SEARCH? Nobody has more to lose than the NFL, and they hire assistants and coaches from a lower level (college) all the time. True, they don't always work out, but apparently, neither does our system. So we hired this jackass because 1) he beat FSU/OU, 2) LSU wanted him, 3) he was the hot name. First of all, FSU/OU don't give 2 shits about UH. Those games were super bowls for Houston. I couldn't care less about LSU. I don't care what they want. As far as being the hot name, he had a little success in a short period of time, so what. And now some of you are saying that our next corch should be someone that comes from a big time program with huge success. Why? Because we are Texas by God and our trophy case is overflowing and we demand success? How is that working out for us. (yes I said us because contrary to what some of you may think, I have been a Texas fan since the early DKR days)
The only difference in the Texas job and the Montana State (example) job is the size of the fanbase and the media exposure. If the players at MSU can block, tackle, and are fundamentally sound, then the players at Texas will block, tackle, and be fundamentally sound. On a different level, yes. But blocking is blocking. Tackling is tackling. And fundamentals are still fundamentals. He aint bringing the MSU level players with him. They are already here. Sorry could'nt resist.
So I propose that next year when we start looking for a corch for real, we leave no stone unturned not worry about who is after who and who the big name is. Lets hire who is right for TEXAS. So enjoy your long weekend and as always, HOOK'EM HORNS.
