As an addendum to my post above, here is a point of comparison on BIG Games with 3 best UT coaches so far. 

Note: These do not include all ranked teams played against. Just what were the BIG games: bowls, rivals, big name teams, titles on the line. 

DKR
OU:  12-7-1
A&M: 17-3
Arky: 15-5
-- a combined 44-15-1 against these three rivals!
USC: 0-2
UCLA: 2-0
Bama: 2-0-1
Bowls: 8-7-1
Title Games: 2-1 (lost to Irish in 1971 Cotton Bowl, but already had UPI title at end of season)
3 National Titles
TOTAL: 58-25-3
 
MACK
OU: 7-9
A&M: 10-4
Arky: 0-1
Huskers: 8-1
Tech/Leach (when ranked): 3-1
Bowls: 10-5
Big 12 Title: 2-2
1 National Title
TOTAL: 40-23
 
AKERS
OU 5-4-1
A&M: 5-5
Arky: 7-2
Penn State: 1-0
Auburn: 2-0
Bowls: 2-7
TOTAL: 22-15-1
 
SARK
OU: 2-2
Bowls: 0-2 (including playoff)
Big 12 Title 1-0
Bama 1-1
Michigan 1-0
Georgia 0-1
TCU (ranked #4 unbeaten): 0-1
TOTAL 5-7
 
HERMAN add-on for the lulz!
OU: 1-4
Big 12 title: 0-1
USC 1-1
Bowls: 4-0
TOTAL: 5-6

Non-CFP bowl games are not big games.  They have not been big games for a while. Players sit out now, if they’re going into the draft. Hugh Frieze admitted last year that he spent his time before Auburn’s bowl game recruiting, and not game planning (and Auburn fans were fine with that). 
 
Herman’s 4-0 in bowls was fun (I’ve seen it suggested that his good bowl record was because he didn’t care about the games and the team just played with fun), but I would only give him credit for the Sugar Bowl, as it was a NYE6 bowl, and felt big. Herman’s Alamo Bowl wins (and Sark’s Alamo Bowl loss) just didn’t mean anything.
