re: Herman time

That shows how bad Herman has driven the Houston program into the ground.

really?

Wasn't the last coach like 21-17? Including a bowl win with Sumlin's team?
Herman is 20-3.
Seems like the program is way better off than it was when he got there.

But hey math is hard

Tiger Ree-Now put up Hermans stats against Bob Stoops and Oklahoma. Everybody is quick to downgrade his losses to SMU and Navy, lets evaluate his Wins over Jimbo and Stoops while we are at it. Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.

They're 7-2.

With one decent win and two very shitty losses. Lamar, Cincinnati, TX St, UCONN, Tulsa and UCF are his wins besides OU. With the 51st most talented team in the country that is not overly impressive.

Yeah, those two wins were great. He also has lost to UCONN, Navy and SMU. Two of those losses have been in his last four games.

Herman was 18 and 1 before these last 4 games. He had Houston in the playoff conversation, after finishing last season ranked 8th in the country following a decisive victory over Jimbo and FSU.

Then something happens. LSU fires Les Miles and Herman is widely reported to be the top candidate. They even did GameDay segments on it. His team is distracted and they drop a game eliminating any chance for them to make the playoffs. They are despondent and rumors start to swirl that now Texas wants Herman also. They are having a hard time getting up for games. "Isn't that his job" you ask, sure but, come on man. Do you honestly think they lose those games if LSU and Texas rumors didn't start swirling? I don't. If you do then that's your prerogative, but I think you will find your opinion is in the minority. And I think the fact that you completely ignore any of the extenuating circumstances in your analysis is unfair.

I've been following Herman and Houston since last year when he was my #1 prospect. I have watched most of their games, read every article I could find on the man, watched several interviews and press conferences. I haven't seen or read anything that has changed my opinion, only revalidated it.

The losses for me are a good thing. It just means we can start the process earlier once the season is over.

I am happy to look at other candidates though. Who are you proposing?
