Tom Herman is a 2nd place coach

I think if they somehow miss the playoffs, he’s gone. If they don’t win a playoff game he may be gone. Other potential openings like the Falcons or Texans could be tempting too if Riley really does have any NFL aspirations. Both of those teams have legit offensive weapons and aren’t complete rebuilds like Washington.

I just don't get the idea that he has NFL aspirations, much like his predecessor. He knows where he would succeed. Does college pay more than the NFL? If not, that could be a factor. Texans would be an interesting place, especially with Watson as qb. 

 

I just don't believe Jerruh will fire Garrett. If he hasn't by now, I don't think it's gonna happen any time soon. Jmo

After today, 1-3 vs his only real competition. No amount of ministers, tweets or special guest coaches can overcome his arrogant bullshit. 

Today is a perfect example. Show up listless for the big game. Defense somehow hangs on while the offense shits the field. Get some offensive momentum and the defense lays down. 

Then the players consistently make horrible decisions. Because they get horrible coaching. Fair catching kickoffs/punts inside the 5 is a coaching issue.

Yes he's better than Old Mack and Cholly, but that just gets us 2nd place. Luckily because no other program has our resources and history. 

Neg me, ban me, dog cuss me..but the scoreboard is what it is. 

Fuck 0u.

 

 

 

 

Not sure you why getting negged so much but whatever. I didn't even watch the game (yes no shit assholes) and I could have made this post. I could have made this post over each of the last 3 weeks not named bye. I don't agree with the title of the post, but the meat is there.

Something is very much "off" with Herman and what he gets out of his football team. He has good players and they play as hard as any team I can ever remember seeing. But man do the players and systems on both sides and ST just look weird to me. No consistency. We don't have trap games I think, instead we just have games. The kids fight their ass off to make up for bad decision making, preparation and coaching. Both in game coaching and bad position level prep and coaching. Games like WVU and OSU end up closer than they should and you lose to teams with semi-equal talent and a good game plan. 

I do however think Herman will eventually figure out where in his management he is going wrong. He has created too much positive change to continue on being blind to this.

Sounds like the offense shit the bed. Shouldn't surprise anyone as they have been shitting teh bed all year long, jsut against worse teams and it doesn't end up firmly on the scoreboard. STs has been awful all year. Just terrible. Defense hit and miss. Secondary is poorly coached for sure.

Let those data points sit with you for a minute.

Let's make sure we are clear. 

Mackovic and Brown won more games against OUsux in their first 4 matchups than Herman has.

Strong won as many games against Ousux in his first three years as Herman.

Our Defense is 3 spots from last.

You should probably get used to it. Tom Herman is going to be here a while.

[6th Street 6,689]

Herman's teams look sloppy week in, week out. We can get away with it against Ok State and WV due to the talent gap. But fundamental things like poor tackling, blitz pickup, fielding punts, and fielding kickoffs is lacking.

Yeah nice cherry picking.  Mackovic coached against guys like Gibbs and Schnellenberger.  He also lost to Rice.  Charlie, really?  I don't think we have to go over that.  

 

Mack Brown shit himself at the mention of Stoops.  Yeah, did Mack surprise him every now and then?  Sure.  But Bob owned Mack.  

 

That's not to say that Lincoln doesn't own Tom, but he's had the Heisman winner on his side most times.

As long as Riley is in Norman Herman will the 2nd best coach in the conference, and it's not close.   Herman's full of himself and until he overcomes his shortcomings as an HC he'll never be more than a 9-2  type coach each year.  Tolerable at Texas?  You can decide.

My worst fear is we waste the prime years of the talent we are bringing in with some of these high school level assistant coaches.

Let's go ahead and also throw in 63-21.  The 4th of 4 Black Saturdays.  The worst losses in the history of Texas football.

We're suffering today so may as well go ahead and throw in Clown Brown's contributions.

You said Mack started better against stoops than Tom did against Lincoln.  I said they both started 1-3.

I just don’t understand why he ever plays conservative. And he plays conservative a lot 

He coaches well enough and they play well enough that if he was always aggressive we'd probably always win

Oh, if you want to stretch it to five games Mack was also 1-4 against Stoops. I don't think Herman has coached 5 games vs ou here just yet. Now, you can point to Mack beating Blake in his first year, but that would be like me pointing to Stoops/Riley beating Herman when he was the coach at coogar high.  Different programs.
