Here's the key quote: "As is often the case, coaching changes are typically followed by reduced recruiting hauls - both in terms of quality and quantity - and Texas isn't any exception." That's right, Tom Herman was not exceptional. You know who was? Coach O.

Whole lot of stupid here. This is apples to oranges. Coach's Binder(tm) led with the argument that he'd keep the class Miles was putting together. This is a different game than Herman landing in Texas and starting fresh.

First, it was in response to another poster dismissing the recruiting success. My point was that coaching changes usually result in upheaval. O provided stability. That is a positive for the O tenure.

Why does everyone have to "yeah but" everything positive he has done?

Hauled in a great recruiting class...YEAH BUT, he was on staff already so that's not a big deal...YEAH BUT he pitched to Alleva that he would do THAT

Retained Aranda...YEAH BUT, Aranda wasn't going anywhere (forgetting that Aranda was being courted and remains a hot commodity).

Made what appears to be a great hire in Canada...YEAH BUT he got paid well and who wouldn't leave Pitt for LSU (ignoring the fact that we have had piss poor OCs for a decade).

Dominated Louisville...YEAH BUT that was Aranda.

Dominated BYU...YEAH BUT, BYU looked bad the week before so we should've held them to negative yards rushing, under 100 in total offense and zero points. And who cares about zero turnovers, 479 total yards, owning TOP? We only scored 27.

It goes without saying that the jury is still out. Obviously Coach O needs to continue to have the results he is having. The point is, if he continues to have the results he is having, he will be a success.

For now, why is it so hard for many of you to say he's doing a good job?
