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

[6th Street 6357]

At this point best case scenario is lose out and hire Urban Meyer

[taybo20 2815]

Fuck urban Meyer...he leave as NCAA violations every where he goes

[mdmost 42865]

Herman’s problem is he likes to project that he’s smarter than he is. Matt Ruehl runs circles around him.

Fuck Tom Herman he's trash

[HouTex 1850]

Does anyone think Herman should not be fired? This misguided notion that you have to give a coach 3-4 years to prove himself is nuts. A good coach can turn this around in a year. If he doesn’t he’s gone. It will be 10-15 years or longer before we see something. The odds are against you when you keep a mediocre coach for 3-4 years.

Swing pass, run for nothing, long bomb and hope for something

The issue is, it isn't just a coordinator.

Look at the field goal last game.

Look at our special teams.

Look at our tackling.

Look at our offensive play calls.

Look at UConn, SMU, Maryland and Maryland.

No part of this team functions well. None.

I do agree on CDC and I don't think Herman gets fired this year.

But I'm done.

Agree on all counts.

Good thing we extended this clown to 2023.

yep, and if he fires the guys that everybody's been telling him to, then he has to admit you were right and he was wrong.  arrogant people who think they're smarter than you don't do that.  so we're stuck with Orlando and Beck.  and this shit will continue.

Yeah and it’s fucking retarded. It’s like saying the Hindenburg needed more fire extinguishers.

Yeah but he won at least 1 title with the last 2 programs he coached for and more importantly, none of those titles were vacated.

I hope the phone call goes out to Urban. Gotta at least ask. /makehimsayno

Charlie Strong was given 3 years, and got worse every year. 

Herman won an NY6 bowl his 2nd year, and in his 3rd year has gotten over the toughest part of the schedule (despite how ugly it was).

Matt fucking Rhule could lose his next 4, possibly 5.  At MINIMUM, 2 of those games. 

The defense is the worst part of this team, yes, but it's also been ravaged by injuries.  And as boneheaded as we claim Charlie was, even he took actions on the D end when things got desperate -- so why wont Tom?  (A: it aint that fucking desperate yet). 

 

So unless Darrel K Royal or Bear fucking Bryant is walking through that door, shut the fuck up about replacing Tom today.  Im not ready to hit the reset button just yet.

This post didn't age very well.

That Sugar Bowl win was a net negative

I’m hoping I wake up tomorrow to a @ztejas multi-paragraph, full-throated defense of Tom Herman and where this program is with 40 fucking upvotes.

morons.

[Shaggy3.0 1695]

I stand by what I posted while standing outside the Cotton Bowl taunted by Sooner filth:  TOM HERMAN IS A FRAUD.

Fire this POTATO and move on.

 

[Sandlot 2]

Anymore Tom Herman dick riders? Just like I said, he’s Charlie Strong with a lighter complexion. 6.7 million overpaid dollars.

As much as Texas fans make fun of Herman's arrogance.....Texas fans are too proud to take Patterson or a few other really good coaches out there, because they don't 'fit' at Texas.

[USNALonghorn 5024]

The Georgia win was the biggest fucking blue balling for Texas.

I'm no fan of Urban.  Though he will have several choices if he wants to coach again next season and you would think he would get satisfaction dragging his nuts across herman and taking his job.  

I completely support what the hermans did regarding the smiths, and Urban is a proven Shitbag.  Fuck it, see what he has to say and go from there.

Herman can be alright if they force his hand on assistant coaches and coordinators. Get rid of the current crop and go after the best money can buy. Let Herman be a Mack type "CEO" coach. 

Thanks but no. He's had 2 games before this to see the writing on the wall. That he hasn't pulled the trigger says all we need to know about him, he won't make the tough call. So it's time to be rid of this guy.

This was posted at BC and it may be the precis on Tom Herman and staff:

Quote

This staff can coach, motivate and win a single game against almost anybody. They do not coach and motivate to win 12 games. So there will be Marylands, 2017 Tech, 2018 OSU, this game, along with needless close calls(last week). This is who they are.

 

 

[mdmost 42865]

Here’s the deal though. We knew Herman had these games in him. Navy, SMU. Plenty on his Houston resume to show he’s capable of losing to teams we should beat.

[alphahorn 1637]

and in true Texas fashion, we have this to deal with:

Texas Gives Tom Herman Two-Year Contract Extension

The deal approved Thursday extends Herman's guaranteed contract through 2023 and will pay him $6.5 million in 2022 and $6.750 million in the final year.

[Slade 263]

Gonna get ugly in this three game stretch. I'm not sure Tech is a gimme at the end of the season. 

[David Dennison 18659]

The most disturbing aspect of this coaching staff is that they bring in talent and no one ever gets better. In fact, the get worse.

[Goodman 3273]

Hoping for one good blow up during the PC.

What are you talking about? This wasn’t some situation where we were good and slipped up against a worse team. It was basically a pick’em against a shitty team and they beat us by double digits.

We suck. We’re a really bad football team. We’re you under the impression we weren’t?

[Colonel Mustard 325]

The whole staff has proven their uselessness. You cant even just throw a single coach under the bus to fire, all of them need to go and if you're gonna have to hire a new staff you might as well get a new head guy. Fucking incredible situation we are in, once again. Some bad fucking luck

Which game did we win this year that we care about? Because both OU and LSU were not very close at the end of the day, and we’ve had multiple shitty games against bad opponents. 

[Hank Scorpio 17723]

Been pretty obvious that Herman needs to go ever since he let Buchele transfer. Gotta think we are 7-1 with an outside shot at 8-0 with Buchele at the helm.

Who are these Texas fans you're talking about, and btw, I know you're fucking ass negged me a fuck ton for shitting on Herman these past couple of years. So fuck you bitch ass.

Go peruse the next coach thread and see for yourself.

And Herman is night and day better than Strong, and prior to the last 3 games we've been on nothing but an upward trajectory since he got here.
Remember, ole Charlie was outscored by Patterson 129-26.

“I don’t have any doubt that Tom is a fine coach. I think he would make a great position coach, maybe a coordinator.”

Well, as of right now Herman sits at 111 on coacheshotseat.com ................at least we will be moving up ONE rankings list

There it is again, "winning is really, really hard."   

Fuck him

[USNALonghorn 5024]

This loss is not on bad luck. This is indicative of inferior coaching. The University of Texas can do better.

No we wouldn't be because we'd still have the same shitty coaches.

I agree the coaches are shit, but Shane 100% beats TCU today (he's already beat them) and I think 75% beats LSU (Sam converts those 4th and goals with moxie and grit) and I think it's a coin flip against OU because the team is playing harder for Shane.

Dunno about that. We would probably change our playcalling to run to shit out of Shane instead of doing what hes good at.

[Hank Scorpio 17723]

I don't think we blow them out or anything, we just win shootouts with Shane tossing the pig skin. CJ would be having a huge year with the touch Shane puts on the deep balls.
