This Tom Herman shit is obnoxious. He had one "good" year at Texas and was wildly mediocre for the other three. And that's to say nothing of the off field nonsense and his batshit crazy wife. And as bad as Sark is, the team that Herman left him is so chalk full of dipshits that it's plainly obvious that the Herman regime was overflowingly toxic.
Everyone needs to just shut the fuck up about Herman. Fuck that guy.

You could argue Clay Helton was better at USC than Herman was at Texas. No.
Herman, 46, might be the most attractive candidate currently without a head-coaching job. He's considered an offensive innovator and excellent recruiter. He set all sorts of offensive records at Iowa State, to the point that Urban Meyer brought him to Ohio State as his offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
He stayed at Ohio State for three seasons, most notably helping the Buckeyes win their last national championship in 2014 while using two backup quarterbacks when injuries struck and being named the country's top assistant coach.
That earned Herman the head-coaching job at Houston, where he went 13-1 and 9-3, which brought him to Texas. He went 7-6, 10-4, 8-5 and 7-3, winning all four bowl games — and the Longhorns got rid of him. He's now an offensive analyst for the Chicago Bears.

Even though they gave up around 50 to NC last weekend, I would just go break the bank for the Wake Forest coach. One 10 win season ever at that school and he's like 8-1 with a semi-unique offense. Apparently other schools have tried to get him but still.
On the fence about Herman, because I can’t figure out if the fact that he was “hated” in Austin was because he’s a shithead or because that entire program and all its boosters are toxic
He's a smug asshole. The only thing toxic about the Texas program/boosters is that we're not willing to play the game like our special needs little brother in College Station and our other future cousin fucking conference mates. We are going to have to shit or get off the pot if we want to compete going forward, be it NIL or bag game or whatever.
But back to Herman... he is universally disliked and abrasive. He made no friends in Austin, which is a remarkable achievement as the Texas coach. He thinks he's the smartest guy in the room and isn't afraid to let you know it, but he's really a meathead in mensa's clothing. His teams played undisciplined, stupid, losing football. He had a blank check to hire the best assistants in the country and hired all of his buddies, many of whom had never coached D1. He had lame gimmicks like creating fake competitions within the team and feeding the losers burnt toast and runny eggs. He made the team do daily piss tests -- not for drugs, but for urine color to make sure they were hydrating enough. He has a rep as an offensive innovator, but he's really not one -- unless you consider running the QB until he gets CTE innovative.
In fairness, he did do some good things at Texas with regard to upgrading our facilities and modernizing some things with social media, and lord knows he was eons more competent than Charlie Strong, but at the end of the day he punched way below his weight as a Texas coach. He's a decent coach and if he had any likeable traits he would probably still be coaching in Austin (at least for this year). You guys could do worse, but you could also probably do much better. Either way, be sure to piss like a champion!

They won’t hire Herman. Too much off the field baggage. He was Zack Smith’s boy before they had a falling out. He was the guy giving McMurphy the intel on Urban Meyer and Zack Smith. Ohio State went into Texas and got Garrett Wilson so Herman went scorched earth on Ohio State.

Gotta love the Buckeyes. They just don't give a shit about anything but winning
Tressel gets fired for violations so they hire Urban Meyer. Fuck it.
I had forgotten about the whole Smith Herman drama
Most of the country looks at tOSU as a rogue program that runs the university and they don't care. They just come in and take your 5 stars and sleep with your women
UW gets uncomfortable at winning too much. I don't see that changing. It has very little to do with "wokeness" or politics. It has a lot to do with the reserved Scandinavian roots and a sincere belief that the school itself is a superior academic institution that is above all that
Need a guy who has a plan for recruiting. I don't know if Moore is up for that.
It’s a fair point, but saying you had the #1 offense in the NFL should be a pretty easy selling point. He will be a NFL coach after this year and I doubt he’s going to coach in college. He can do that after being fired in the NFL.

There is an 81% chance we will hate him/her after 1.93 seasons
Lot of that going around
LEAVE
I don't think he's coming here (he's going to be the Cowboys HC before long). But he'd be a great hire if he did.
It's that time.
And as for Moore, sure, hire as him as OC. But head coach? Fuck no.
Tressel gets fired for violations so they hire Urban Meyer. Fuck it.
