You will see in two years what he can accomplish.

Idk what held Charlie back at UT, but that won't be the case with Herman.

UT is a toxic atmosphere. The university has allowed big boosters to dip their hands way too far into the athletic program. There are stories of big money guys interrupting practices and other really strange goings on. I don't know the extent of all of this, but I've heard this from pro-Texas people who believed Strong was doomed from the start.

I may catch flack for this, but I'll say it anyway. There are also stories that alot of the Texas big money didn't like Strong...Because of racial undertones(I'd like to believe this isn't true, but I'm not naive either).

Strong is a really good coach, much better than what was seen at UT. Maybe Herman won't have the same obstacles

Really the only thing that held strong back was time. He kicked many players off the team his first year and then recruited well for 2 years. Texas team this past year was very young and people will think Herman is a savior right off the bat cause they will win more games quickly because players are coming of age. Truly Herman has a great situation at UT with what is left when he first got there and expectations
