re: I don't understand pumpers: evidently it's Jimbo or bust? WTF

To an extent, yes, it would be a little warranted. I think Herman is basically equivalent to chip kelly when Oregon brought him in under belotti. He's a terrific coach, but a bit of an unknown.

I think he's going to be dynamite somewhere big eventually. Would rather give him a shot here then watch him go somewhere else and do it.
