At the risk of being flamed to a crackly crunch I don't understand all the love for this guy. I know his pedigree and all but I have watched 4 games this year and they have lost 3 of the 4 to powerhouses ...Navy, SMU and Mighty Memphis!!
And yes I know they beat Oklahoma...big deal..
I think either LSU or Texas is setting themselves up for Charley Strong X2.
I'm not a Jimbo apologist but he has coached in a great conference and won and NC. AND is a great recruiter.
Given the choice between the 2 I go with the proven commodity.
Just sayin....Now FLAME AWAY..

Where has Herman failed as a coach?

Your answer is why many want him.

I'll just copy my post from another thread:


He had historically productive offenses at Iowa State and fricking Rice of all places. Led three different QBs and three different offenses in one season at Ohio State en route to a national title run. He's beaten 3 top 10 P5 teams in the last calendar year.

Let's not act like people are just brushing off the 3 losses this year. There have been at least 1000 threads bashing him for it... But people conveniently will not mention that Jimbo lost to him and has also had his share of disappointing losses at FSU. Do we need to being up Saban losing to both UAB and ULM? O's losses to Wake and Wyoming and twice to Vandy? Every coach loses disappointing games, especially when you are at a school that doesn't lend itself to recruiting quality depth at the level of an LSU type program.

Aranda was quoted a couple years back that Herman was the guy he leans on for advice on how to stop different innovative offenses. The guy is a savant and the future of college football. And he is without question our best potential hire

Did you miss bowl season last year when Houston beat Florida State like it stole its lunch money or this year when the team that beat Florida State by eleventy billion got a mudhole stomped in it by Houston? It's really not that hard to extrapolate what that means when you have depth beyond Ed Oliver.

The guy is 22-4 in two years as a head coach. How long does he have to jack off and win at a mid-level job before he gets your approval?

Just to get a HC who is a winner and can develop a QB. Just seems like it's been a decade since we really had one.

So you watched Houston play SMU but not FSU or Louisville?

And the big-time money being thrown at him by LSU, its a gamble. I'd rather Jimbo, he's less of a gamble.
