As well. He’s a good coach. Clearly at Texas he wasn’t unbeatable. But they were in EVERY game & that is a much better Conference than Pac 12.
He‘s currently an NFL assistant.
Raised in Simi Valley.
54-22 or something overall coaching record. A .711 winning percentage. No scandals Except a kind of hot wife.
5-0 in Bowl Games.
I don’t know about his recruiting prowess. Maybe a weakness?? Idk. If yes that’s a big one obviously.
He‘s an upgrade over Hugs tho. For sure.
worth a look & an interview. I havent heard a presser with Herman. I don’t know him. Just prelim interest here & going off resume.
Solid coach. Lost the locker room and boosters over a song.
weird deal
@66 i think stability in the program had a lot to do with it, as did hiring somebody as a figure head. Coaching acumen clearly wasn’t high on the priority list:
There are no guarantees short of Meyer and Saban, but I think when you fire a coach two games into the season, after your last two coaches were fired five games into their last season, and after a decade plus of fan frustration, you HAVE to go big with this hire.
NYT had the best post on hiring that I've ever seen. When helton was hired he ripped it at the time. He said at the very least wait to see how he does in the conference championship before you even consider him. Talked about the need to go in a whole new direction. At the time of a hire you can only judge that hire based on that time and who was available. Hindsight is 20/20 but there's going to be a lot of eyes on this hire and a lot of expectation and hope. You can't go out and hire somebody like Herman imo.
No no no no no
Darnold beat Herman. Herman prison raped Hugs without Darnold the last game they played
Worst call ever. He's an A-Hole
That will go over well. Hire a guy helton beat and who just got fired at texas. And had racial strife there. Why is having a good looking wife controversial?
call Him for what? Mensa better not come with 100 miles of south central los Angeles. there are better choices.
Agree, cheap and good hire and realistic
