Why does everyone assume Herman would be HIRED by Texas?

Just because it is his dream job does not mean Texas feels the same.

who is Harman?

First it's Herman, and he says he loves Texas.

Herman wouldn't be the #1 choice for Texas. Having said that, they could hire Herman and they would get an immediate upgrade in recruiting abilities.
You can say good by to A&M for getting more of the top 20 kids in Texas as they would go to Texas to play for Herman.
Herman is a risk for whoever will hire him until he has more time to prove himself at Houston.
I do think the Texas job opens up if Strong gets the Miami offer.

Sorry for the typo. But the question still remains, why does Texas care if he loves Texas? A lot of people love Texas. That doesn't make him a shoe in for the job.

Further proof that Tom Herman will NOT be the HC at Mizzou.

ya a typo really destroys the legitimacy if him coaching at mizzou, thanks for your response

Because he is beating Big 12 schools in recruiting with Houston resources. Because he runs a style of offense that would utilize Texas players and because he wins.
ETA: Oh your trying to hold out hope that he goes to Mizzou. Theres zero chance of him doing that. Mizzou is a dumpster fire with the racial issues and it's not a location that kids are going to actively go to. Granted you keep guys at home but it's nowhere near the job of Va Tech.

Why are all these SEC programs focused on Herman? Fuente is a more sure bet for SEC programs.

No he is not. He has gotten 5 out of the Top 100 Houston area recruits. Big deal.
He got Oliver because he hired his dad or high school coach or whatever. It's not like Oliver picked Houston just because the program was that much better than his other offers.
He got Courtney Lark because Lark wasn't getting into TCU with his grades. Lark won't even be able to get into Houston. The Courtney Lark commitment was for propaganda purposes and fluff at best.
2 Houston area recruits who committed because of existential circumstances does not mean Tom Herman is outrecruiting Big 12 schools.

Texas can demand almost whoever they want. There would be multiple well established coaches interested in that job. I don't see them starting with Herman.

They went after Saban hard and whiffed. That's why I said "almost".
I don't care how much you despise Texas. They have more money than anyone and ALMOST anyone would listen when they call, especially with a new AD in place.

I still think Saban had accepted the Texas job but changed his mind due to the leaks.
Saban was Texas's guy, they didn't get him, so they had to scramble.

It's all timing. Harbaugh and Saban have proved that. You can't just lure a proven coach from another top program or the NFL even if you are a top 3 or so job like Texas, there needs to be the right set of circumstances that would make him leave (like Chip Kelly perhaps feeling uncomfortable in the NFL). Is it possible? Yes, but they can't just take whoever they want
And that goes for Bama, USC, Ohio State, whoever else as well

What I was thinking, so Herman staying put in hopes of the Texas job would be quite the risk considering the number of good job openings this season. Next year might not have the possibilities and he could be stuck at Houston, that's if he even continues to have success there.

Every successful coach at Houston in recent history has been hired to a bigger program. He will have other opportunities.
