LOL

Let's see how true of a statement this is by the end of the season.

Who knows.. things could get much, much worse for Herman and much, much better for LSU

It seems fairly obvious that LSU was a lesser rebuild job than Texas. With that said, I wouldn't really blame Herman for going to Austin. It was likely happening anyway, but the way Alleva acted during that whole situation with Herman's agent cemented that Herman would be at Texas for good.

Herman and Aranda could have been exciting to watch. Texas D was putrid.

In fairness, Maryland will be a top 25 team by year end.

I think they have a "culture" problem at Texas, which has been there since the last couple years of Mack Brown.

Thank Gawd he didn't want it. As I definitely didn't want him because as for as I was concerned, he wasn't proven and still isn't.

This is asinine but that is what ESPN has become. Herman inherited a mess but I have no reason to think he won't turn it around. It's going to take more than one season.

Going to Texas was a bad career move.

While the state of Texas has a huge population there are three problems talent wise. First, massive competition. Many in state schools recruiting their bases. A&M, Baylor, Tech, SMU, Houston, etc. plus three big out of state recruiters: Oklahoma, LSU, and Arkansas. Second, Texas high schools produce subpar defensive talent on average. Third, Texas has a weak history recruiting out of state talent.

Texas has a shite ton of money. They expect to be the NY Yankees of college football. They can buy facilities. And they think they can buy coaches. Herman was able to leverage LSU's interest in him to a pay day windfall. But when they tried to buy Saban they hit the wall. Nick the Prick liked their financial resources and their massive cash flash, but he wants to win naties more. Despite the money they still have the talent problems. Because of the money they have unrealistic expectations. Nick may be a penis, but he is not stupid.

Herman should have chosen LSU. Louisiana produces massive football talent. LSU has the in state monopoly on it. The only consistent out of state competition is Saban and his past LSU connections. But we still keep the vast majority and insure high grade competition. Next LSU has a rich history of out of state recruiting. We specialize in East Texas, Mississippi, and the southeastern states of Georgia and Florida. Remember, Nick had his agent pursue LSU while he was coaching Michigan State! Yes he was still a penis here, but he was ours and we loved him.

So now we have only one game in their first years, so uncertainty is high. But, I'm glad Tommy the Tongue Kisser chose Texas, and cleared the way for O! Plus with everyone trying to talk Cajun, O is getting notoriety above his actual accomplishments to date. This aids recruitment!

Considering Texas scored on defense and on special teams and still lost...giving up 51 pts... it's safe to say that whatever is being coached on defense is a dumpster fire.

Thank God we didn't hire him. His hubris wouldn't have allowed him to keep Aranda, if Dave would've stayed on anyways.
