Why Not Tom Herman

[Glockmeister]

Why not Tom Herman? Great recruiter, great offensive mind. Power 5 winning experince. Took Texas outta the gutter to places they haven't been in the last 10 years. Him with Steele as the DC might be great. I think him getting fired by his dream job where he played his college ball mighta humbled him a bit... maybe to the point of going to Tennessee with a chip on his shoulder. Also no buy out to pay for, right?

Do they really make an orange glock? Asking for a friend.

 

[TnVol!]

Please No!

TIL Tom Herman is a member of Mensa. I have also learned that he likes to tell everyone he knows he is a member too.

 

[jonnon111]

Heard he has bad relationship skills with in state high school coaches and boosters.

 

[Tnphil]

IIRC he had 2 recruiting classes in the top 5 and one at No.8?

If they did, I would get one and lose it in a boating accident.

 

[Joe Dirt]

I would actually be very happy with a Herman hire. Not my first pick, but I would get behind it.

 

[jcanvolfan]

Would love to get Herman over a lot of the names that are out there. God ,they are gonna mess this up again aren’t they.

Do we even know that any of the names mentioned are real candidates?

After having Pruitt here, if we brought Herman that temperature difference would crack every glass in Knoxville

I'll take him , veteran coach and actually had a winning record at Texas.

Why not just wait and see instead of the why not threads

Nice! I really like the angle grip on my sig better, but I wouldn't mind locating one of those. ( if the market settles back down.)

Big winner in a terrible conference. Not so much in the big 8 or whatever they are called now.

No way to know who White has been in contact with for sure, but people who usually get that information haven’t mentioned Herman at all.

ironic? we hire another Texas fired coach after successful stint. Barnes dropped into our lap. might become true.

Didn’t bother them at Houston. I think the Texas boosters are savages he would t play by their rules and they tarnished his name JMO

Based on what, his W/L?
He wasn’t at Houston long enough to know how his recruiting and program building skills are.

No but he was there long enough to get that reputation

Which he does have.

Herman has long been a POS that’s rubbed people the wrong way.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

If Herman could get Yurcich here as OC and we keep Steele as DC, I think it'd be a great hire. Don't know that it's going to happen, though.

I either heard/read somewhere that it had alot to do with his more liberal political views. Not sure if true. Sad if true. Who or what you vote for or feel strongly about shouldn't affect your job status if it doesn't affect your job performance.

I guess if its used against you(negative recruiting) it kinda could?
