re: Is Tom Herman the biggest flop in a while?

Were they though? Texas brass had Strong run off a ton of MB's players but then they refused to comprehend when you do that it takes longer to rebuild. I feel like if they had let him stay instead of tearing everything down after just 3 years they would have been much better than last year's Herman led 7-6

All of this.


The Texas brass was uncomfortable with the Strong hire from the beginning and they seemed to never really fully accept him. I dont know if that was race related (queue Red McCombs quote) or the fact that they were rundown from the latter Mack Brown years.

Either way, Strong had to not only rip up the rotting foundation of Texas football, but he had to set a new culture and then start building on that. He was building their program the RIGHT way, but the greedy Texas brass was too impatient and entitled to give him a fair shot. Herman gave them the familiar feeling of good old Texas football.

Texas treated Strong like shite from day 1 and then got greedy with Herman.

It's like the dude who has a cute highly dependable wife in his company until he sees the flashy supermodel walk by and he leaves the dependable one. The supermodel ultimately let's him down and he regrets leaving the dependable wife type.

Herman had the Texas background and was flashy and Texas decided to be assholes to chase the shiny new Herman.
