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

You can say that again.

In a year filled with terrible coaching performances, this was the worst one yet.

No large improvement by year 3 or 4 and gone 

well to be fair, charlie lost to Kansas.  Tom didnt.     but hes now lost to 2 teams who will join Texas in the dead fucking middle of the Big 12 pack- which is exactly what he did at Houston. He won lots of big games against ranked teams, and lost multiple games inexplicably against mediocre/bad teams

I’m finally starting to wonder if the problems are much bigger than Orlando and Beck. That turtling on our final drive combined with the copious amounts of penalties mean the problems are the head coach. For the first time I’m really thinking Herman is not going to win big at Texas. 

You're just now realizing there are issues at the top??  Holy shit.  Where have you been the last three years?  

Hint: if the two guys you hired to run your offense and defense suck, you suck at your job.

Fox panel just ripped the UT coaching. Urban said there is no excuse for UT to lose this game with the talent it has, yet Iowa St was the better team. He'll take this job. we need to offer it

Urban called it right.  It was unacceptable for the off sides to even happen.   Horrible coaching.

2018: texas 3. Isu: 56
2017: texas 25. Isu 52
2016: texas 7. Isu 55

Lol. Herman is a coordinator, not a head coach.

[2300 Nueces 163]

How in the fuck do you river boat gamble on fourth down and then turtle on the next possession.  For me, this is the mark of a bad coach.  Having a young team is no excuse.  Good coaches win with young teams.

[dcar00 14,902]

If Herman is here after next year its all on CDC.  quit fucking giving extensions to shitty coaches

[jw4381 3,241]

You people that live in Austin need to go to pluckers and tar and feather this motherfucker. 

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Will any reporter step up and ask Turtle Tom (Thanks, Cap Hook) why exaactly he shouldn't be held accountable for the team's massive amounts of brain farts every damn game?  Ask him when he plans on teaching them the basics of football?  Clock mgmt, kick fielding decisions, where they are going to try and draw you offsides, etc?

[Helobious 9,755]

There’s nothing that gets to me more than an arrogant person that has little or no reason to be arrogant.

Herman is that kind of person.

Fire this fucker already. Didnt watch and not watching the post game presser.

[ChemicalHorn 364]

Just checking in to say fuck Mensa. Sadly he ain’t going anywhere. Has at least 1 whole staff turnover in his back pocket until CDC mans up enough to can his ass. See y’all in 2023 CFP tho!

Yep I’m on board. No more fucking minor league coaches that have a couple good years.

Herman giving the injury report again to waste time on post game. Fuck this guy.  he's a bitch.

[Loch Ness Monster 3,533]

He needs to be fired. Get the fuck out!

[54_Strat 34]

This team doesn't understand have any type of situational awareness. That's a coaching issue. 

[Patricio Swayze 17,058]

Onboard.

[SubliminalHorn 6,995]

Tweet at CDC. He needs to go. Hire Urban and be done with it. We want to win, hire Urban 

[Rip76 5,009]

In.  And I wanted him here bad.

So in on this.

[Neonmoon 38,130]

Nothing irritates me more is something not working and doing it over and over expecting a different result. It’s pure insanity. From a Orlando delayed blitzes to Herman turtling. 
 

It’s one thing when it’s a puppy licking his own asshole, but these cunts make 5 million a year. 

[crimsonlonghorn 2,313]

I stayed on the Charlie train too long... not going to make that mistake with Herman. Still not there yet, but I'm close. If Orlando isn't fired by January 14, that will do it for me, as well losing more than one of the next three. 

This season was supposed to be an improvement over last season. Last year wasn't supposed to be the pinnacle. 

[Dbeasy 15,526]

I stuck by Strong for a long time, believing he needed an opportunity to recover from Mack Brown rot. Tom inherited a program with much better talent and has recruited extremely well. There really is no reason they should be this bad.

When Tom was hired there was one giant red flag. He seemed very immature with bad ideas about culture - dumbass kissing, boot camps, thin-skinned, doesn’t fraternize with the players, etc.

I think we are seeing a charlatan who has hood-winked this University yet again. Meanwhile OU, OSU, and hell even Baylor know what they are doing.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9,483]

Tom is dumber than Chuck. And that says something.

Write the check, boys. Start over. Five more years in the fucking desert. 

[Bruh Man 3,160]

Arrogant POS is doubling down. 

 

 

[GabrielsHorn 2,242]

If we needed to fire/rehire on one side of the ball, it’d be fine. However, at this point, both coordinators should be fired, which is a hell of an indictment on Herman’a ability to identify coaches for the staff

[Jkwellborn 7,006]

Guys, don’t y’all know that Texas ain’t firing Herman before 2023? Gotta have that stability so you don’t get left out of realignment. I’ll apologize in advance if RD dumb ass shows up and goes off on that.

Texas is the laughing stock of college sports.  Tom Herman and certainly Shaka Smart are pathetic.

[cactusflinthead 27,626]

It's time. I avoided this thread. 

I don't care about his personality all that much. He can be a dickhead and keep a job if he produces. He hasn't. 
Too many mistakes combined with a shitty attitude and arrogant demeanor does not generate goodwill. 

Play out the string or pull the rip cord now. Either way it is time to call it. They are regressing.

I'm not sure why we would ever want a G5 HC here bad.  Charlie was such a clusterfuck we had to react with no plan and no AD.  Tom gets next year and if CDC isn't trying to figure out his next move for the next 12 months he sucks as bad as Herman.   This shit is what we pay him for. we don't pay him for pre game shit or crappy 3rd tier sports. We pay him to get football, baseball and basketball right.

Meanwhile Duvernay is having a career day and was a big part of the last TD drive. Not to mention how well Eagles is playing and fuck, Epps (Epps!) had a huge catch as well. But no, let’s force it with bullshit running plays to protect a one (one!) point lead. Fuck Tom, fire him. 

[mdmost 43,850]

We’re stuck with this at least two more years. CDC will give him a reprieve if he demoted Beck and Orlando. Then we suffer through another year of mediocrity. So maybe in 2021 after he’s lost another game like this, we’ll move on to the next guy.

That’s right. 

The head coaches job # 1, 2 and 3 are to hire good assistants, fire dead weight and hire better assistants, and to hire good assistants when your good assistants get promoted at other programs.  

He sucks at his job.  Bad.

Well, there you go.

He believed those shitty run calls would go for yards.  And then when they didn't, he believed another idiotic call wouldn't suck and would somehow get the first down.  First downs of course being the most important thing for that series.

Meyer will not be available after next year.  He is available now.  Time to cut bait and make our move or forever suck.....  Texas football has done less with more than any other school in cfb history, except aggy.

[ClubWhatever 12,277]

It’s Going to be really tough to get the best coordinators to come when it’s a desperation move.   The time to do it was after year one for OC and after last year for DC.  Of course, a really good HC would have made a better OC hire to begin with.
