Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]

[PilotsError 2283]

...

[BurntOrange&White 39707]

The finger thing isn't a big deal on its own. If, when asked, he was just honest and said he was joking around with his staff, did something dumb, understands it's a bad look, apologized, won't do it again... it's a non-story.

But I think we all know it'll instead turn into some bizarre rationalization of how he did nothing wrong and anyone with any kind of misgivings has ptsd or something.

Don’t sugar coat this at all. If this was Lincoln Riley you and everyone else on here would be burning down a thread about ousux this/that and etc.

“Also curious what CDC will make Tom say after the double bird to the camera?”

This was exactly my thoughts when I saw it. I thought he was telling his detractors to “Fuck Off’”.   What a petulant little child he is.

And I, too, wonder what his boss had to say about it.  Certainly, someone’s brought it to his attention.

Who's saying anything negative about his wife? We've all agreed to pork her. The argument was that Galindo could not be fired because of this piece of ass, which is clearly not true.

It was not an argument for not firing him.  It’s the Christmas season and I was trying to look for something nice to say about him.  It was not a actual argument.

If it was Lincoln Riley I'd probably never know about it until it got turned into a dick related gif.

There’s literally no basis behind this statement. The evidence we have of Herman after a disappointing season was 2018 when we won the Sugar Bowl. We have no evidence to suggest he won’t turn it around.

[kevwun 15672]

He won the Sugar Bowl and then had to fire half of his staff.  We are in uncharted territory because he's not cleaning up someone else's mess.  It's his own.

Are you absolutely sure we have no evidence?   We don’t have things like the 2019 football season or the 2020 coaching situation?  Or the impending seven and six results that should be arriving quite soon from San Antonio?  These are all heavily heavily indicative of pieces of evidence that in your opinion are never going to arrive on our 40 acres?

Mocking other teams players on the field - check.

Yelling at opposing coaches at midfield- check.

Behaving like a troglodyte before games - check

Flipping off our network cameras, directed perhaps at our former players - check.

 

I am fine with all of this as long as we are winning 7 games a year!

 

The head-butting thing is the epitome of phony clown - Herman trying to prove he is in tune with his players and energized to the hilt but only serving to show that he is desperately in over his head and has no idea what to do or which way to turn.  

 

[softlynow 1788]

I think some have it wrong on 2020. The talent is there to luck into 10-2, and maybe better. That's actually kind of the real problem. We might be putting off separating ourselves from this clown until after a 6-8 win 2021. Hell, if he goes 10-2 in '20 and 8-4 in '21, he may simply be back on the hotseat in '22.

[Guest Lobo]

This team with its current leadership between Herman and Belmont does not win more than 9 games.  9-4 at absolute best, more than Likely 8-5.  That’s all.

we are really glad you are excited though.

There's always that one guy clinging to hope when everyone else knows the guy isn't the guy and needs to be fired.

Yea he won 10 and lost 4 in the same year and followed that up with a shitty 7 win season.

You said name 6 losses, well we almost lost to Kansas so that a possibility and LSU, OU, Baylor for sure and every other game(okie lite, tcu, iowa st) with Herman is a fucking coin flip so why don't you name us 10 FUR SURE wins? Since you think winning 10 next season isn't a hard thing to accomplish?

The 5 teams we lost to plus anyone of the teams we beat by one score? Not saying it'll happen but holy fuck. You're almost as arrogant as our coach if you think our designed "win by one more point than the other team" can't possibly blow 6 games next year. It can happen

You’re right we should fire every coach that has a disappointing season.

10 wins is still 3rd place in the conference....

You’re operating under the assumption that we won’t improve at all in the offseason. Just an overall improvement of talent will get us win over TCU and Iowa St.

And yes he’s had 3 years and followed up a 10 win season with another 7 win season at a school that I thought wanted to win championships. If we were at Iowa st then yea you don’t fire him and hope he can fix it. 
 

Damn you got that Herman dick way up your ass. There’s always one though.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you consistently use this to refer to OU when you use the standard acronyms for everyone else?

Fucking hell. We just need to improve the talent to beat TCU and Iowa St? That’s asking a lot of program like ours I mean TCU and Iowa St are recruiting machines and talent juggernauts how much longer does Tom Herman’s needs to stack enough talent to go toe to toe with power house like that?

I was using three-letter acronyms for the other schools like LSU, BAY, OSU, ISU, et. al.  I like synergy when typing I guess.  Plus the University of Oklahoma being called O.U. just celebrates stupidity.  The official title of the school is not Oklahoma University.  There's a West Virginia University, a New York University, and an Indiana University.  But there is not an Oklahoma University.  There is, however, a school in Norman, OK that has an incredibly difficult time with letters, spelling, and words.

Strawman argument dude. We’re just as likely to win 10 games next year as we are to lose 6. To suggest that it’s absurd that we win 10 next year is silly. You’re the only one that mentioned 10 for sure wins. 

 

You’re right tho we should fire him. You win. Let’s fire every coach that doesn’t win 10 games yearly. Herman’s literally done everything in the offseason Texas fans were bitching about and were still bitching.

Yes we should fire a coach in YEAR 3 that just let Baylor pass him up. The only one that’s absurd is your dumb ass. I think we have plenty of evidence to know we will never win a title with Herman so again unless your bar is Iowa st and are fine with 7 wins then 10(4 losses) then another 7 wins then cool.

10 wins should be the fucking floor at Texas. We have way too many resources to not be on OU and Ohio states level every single year, even if we lose literally every single starter. Fuck outta here with this “he’s already won 10 games, so he’s the right guy” bullshit.
