WOW! Interesting story you weave, but a hard one to believe.

Herman was probably the best QB coach that Meyer has had at OSU, and maybe the best OC as well, since he had both the QB room and the offense humming very efficiently, but none of what you said about their relationship is documented anywhere else but in your story.

Burrow got no playing time under Herman, since Herman left for Houston before Burrow arrived as a red shirt freshmen.

One could argue that after Herman left, Beck, the replacement QB coach, did as bad a job at OSU as he
did before at Nebraska, as evidenced by the poor results of the 2015 season and the weird back and forth indecision between Cardale Jones and JT Barrett for half the season.

Burrow, if anything, was merely a victim of bad luck in breaking a bone in his throwing hand in fall camp, and not being given a chance to win the backup roll back before the Michigan game, not some weird plot like you think.

Both Burrow and Haskins and Meyer should do fine this year, no matter what you think.

1st there is tension between Herman and Meyers because Herman got the credit for osu winning the nc. Look what happened when he left, they get shutout by Clemson in the playoffs. They had the best team in college, they didn’t even win there the big 10 championship, there offense had trouble scoring. The only difference was Herman, who was the oc and called the plays, left for Houston. Who do you think got credit for winning the big 10 champ and the nc. Meyers or Herman. There was a lot of stress between them, now Herman takes over at Texas and is going to stop Meyers from getting the best recruits in Texas. Herman recruited burrow to osu, Meyers recruited Haskins and Martell. Who do you think Meyers is going to play, someone Herman recruited, or guys he recruited. He had to find a way to move burrow out and still look good to osu fans and the media.he makes burrow look bad because he wouldn’t stay and compete and he looks good because he gave him every chance. Meyer didn’ t want Herman’s guy to be osu qb plan a simple. And you do have the best qb.
