9.3.18 Coach Herman press conference (Noon)

[alphahorn 1637]

this guy has no future here.  he doesn't instill any confidence whatsoever

[Rockethorn1978 6072]

This guy is a tard. I never heard or remember Charlie being this much of a baby about questions 

[Enchubben 5510]

Herman has taken 0 accountability thus far if you’re keeping track.

[bigup2dahorns 3343]

Asked about his comments to the Texas fans:

The sky is not falling. I hope they see what I see, the hope in this team. We’re gonna be fine once we fix things. We expect to win every game. We failed to meet expectations for one game. It’s not Armageddon.

[Sgt Hulk 13713]

failed to meet expectations since you arrived not one game 

[Rockethorn1978 6072]

Well we are playing Tulsa so that’s why we will look different.

[SubliminalHorn 6783]

So we expect to win every game, but we tried playing too perfectly. Isn’t that how you win every game? By trying to play perfectly every week?

[Coelenterate Fuccboi 13089]

Tentativeness goes away with confidence. Confidence comes from winning. Winning comes from good coaching.

[Tracer Bullet 183]

Ingram averaging 6ypc and instead of running him for the 2pc you do that awful TE toss back play again even though you didn't practice it and the ball was on the wrong hash. 

Ok Mensa

He sounds lost. He has no idea what to do about this situation

[The Ace of Aces 5175]

He’s not CDC’s man. Nothing Herman is saying here can help give him faith he can turn this shit around. 

This is bordering bizarre - strange explanations, making no sense, making excuses, shifting goalposts. 

[Rockethorn1978 6072]

Still haven’t heard one question about if beck is calling plays or if the entire coaching staff is.

[RedDirtTexan 209]

Someone send Tom the video of Augie taking responsibility for that performance and loss. "I totally fucking failed you." That one. 'Cause that's all he should be saying and doing.

Thus, six losses last year, including in particular Maryland and Tech, met expectations.  Therefore, only this loss to Maryland failed to meet expectations.

Abracadabra.

[Sgt Hulk 13713]

matt canada's presser was awkward as fuck,  but he won.   this shit is just wtf mode  and our reporters are such pussies lobbing this soft ass shit.  

[Horn of Gabriel 1614]

"Unique challenges" with the fly sweep???  Doesn't EVERY team in the country have that play in the playbook?  C'mon man.

[Surly Bevo 24908]

 

[Rockethorn1978 6072]

So many long winded answers. The people I know that do that are called con men that try to make them sound like they know what they are doing so they talk you into the ground.

[Sgt Hulk 13713]

lol Sams improvement not same sentence 

[bigup2dahorns 3343]

And that’s it for Coach Herman today . . .

I will say, the timing on Maryland’s sweeps was excellent.

"I pushed a cardboard toilet paper tube up his rectum and slipped Ragout, our gerbil, in," he explained. "As usual, Kiki shouted out 'Armageddon,' my cue that he'd had reached nirvana, so to speak. I tried to retrieve Raggot but he simply would not come out, so I peered into the tube and struck a match, thinking the light might attract him."

[Sgt Hulk 13713]

worst presser ever 

[Shaggy3.0 1695]

Good grief, take the delay and kick a PAT.  Please tell me you didn't run a play you haven't practiced.  That's Charlie Strong level dipshittery

 

Like Potato dipshittery, right?

 

Potato Tom.

 

[Rockethorn1978 6072]

Wtf not one questions about playcalling? Nice softball questions pussy media!

[RoyalBevo21 762]

Why do coaches do this bullshit. All we want to hear is "I take full responsibility for this loss. The level of effort and effectiveness shown on Saturday is unacceptable at this university. As long as I'm the head coach for this team nobody will beat us in heart or effort ever again."

[Rockethorn1978 6072]

These questions have to be getting pre approved before they ask. No questions about beck when that was literally all that was being posted Saturday on social media yet it’s not asked? 

[Ghost of Shag 2608]

Softball questions.

Not one question about playcalling. Nothing about Beck. Nothing about Utilizing Sam more in the run game.

But plenty of laughter at Herman’s jokes and plenty of “thank yous” when he was done.

Pathetic. 

[bschoolprof 6252]

I didn't think it was possible, but I actually feel much worse after watching that.  I was expecting Mack-like platitudes.  But that PC was very revealing:

1) Mensa has no fucking idea what to do, despite his claim that the staff gets paid to figure out the "whys"

2) He doesn't think they (the coaches) have done anything wrong.  He's going down with the ship with Sam and Beck in tow and fuck everyone else.  

He'll be gone in about 15 months.

Correction to what I posted earlier regarding what Herman said about his decision to go away from Ingram in the second half: he did not say he went with Porter he said he went with a 5th year senior with a lot of experience and he did say the name Tre. I missed it as I was typing and thought he was talking about Porter. Just had to rewind and watch again. My bad.

[LongestHorn 759]

Did he check the box when he thanked the Longhorn football fans for traveling to Washington DC?

[Red Five 40831]

Even the question about Ingram was phrased like “hey Tom, do you see Ingram getting more PT in the future after he’s earned your trust? Thanks!”.

And that might be 15 months too long.

[Goodman 3273]

Sam is mentally broken and needs to RS this year, only way to get over his mental yips here.

[Doc Sam Beckett 5792]

All I want to know is if pizza was served! Ask the question! 

[Domedriver 655]

Now you understand why I want Lee Corso!

He would have and excuse cause he is senile!

He would be funny!

He would put a funny hat on his head at the end and in the fumbling mascot thing he would...

Shoot Fucking Chip Brown in the ass!

Lee Corso!  It would not be a bigger clown show!

re: no one asked about Beck/playcalling....

I think the 4th or 5th question was about the "sudden shift midway through the 2nd quarter going tempo" which i believe was intended by the questioner to allude to Tom calling the plays, and thermensa answered "we got on the headset and blah blah blah" which he (Herman) had in the can as his non-denial denial of Beck's incompetence.

then the follow-up questioner slipped in "when you started calling plays in the 2nd quarter" as bait, thermensa did not fall for it.

he is going to inflict pain and suffering on millions in order to protect his incompetent hire.

[bschoolprof 6252]

Does Mike Finger get to attend the PCs?  Because that would be awesome.  At least he has some fucking balls.  

[PilotsError 2286]

The closest they came to Beck was "coach, something had to have changed in the second quarter, what was it?"

 

Pussies.

Yeah you gotta love the questions where the reporter gives him an out before he’s even done asking. 

[bigup2dahorns 3343]

So in summary: no pitchforks and no pizza question

[BigBenBamboozle 1952]

No amount of words will ever make sense of a whole half of Porter over Ingram. It was inexplicable, but absolutely par-for-the-course with Herman’s abject stubbornness. 

[TexasBeta 1261]

Tentativeness goes away with confidence. Confidence comes from winning. Winning comes from good coaching.

I’ve heard this before.

“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

[Bluemoon3287 56]

Have to agree - Tulsa is certainly nowhere to close to being a sure thing.  If I were a betting man, I’d take Tulsa and the points - regardless

[Rockethorn1978 6072]

I honestly expect chip brown and Kirk bowels to be the dicks I know they are and ask tough questions 

[Bluemoon3287 56]

At least Gary Johnson might read “Of Mice and Men” - personally, I’d rather go study OU film....

[PilotsError 2286]

If the sun doesn't come up tomorrow, we're all in trouble!

guffaw guffaw guffaw!

Another attempt to try and let everyone know how smart of a coach Tim Herman is. What a educational and life teaching moment! Cue the music!

[SubliminalHorn 6783]

Anyone still watching LHN? What the fuck is this magic show bullshit?
