We tried to warn y’all, it takes a VERY specific type of coach/personality to manage the fan and media circus surrounding the Texas football and Herman ain’t it. He’s a very weird guy with unique coaching/motivational strategies and doesn’t stroke the big donors/media ego.

Mack Brown was absolutely perfect for that job and, if not for a few bad coordinator hires and Bob Stoops, would probably have won 3+ national titles at Texas.

I would definitely take Herman over Jimbo. Herman at least has a creative offense, Jimbo is getting behind the times and he’s a drunk. So glad we didn’t land him.

I saw him at several UH booster events (w/ my dad), and he always treated fans/boosters with seriousness and respect. He's just lacks the folksiness or natural warmth of a Mack Brown, but so do most people. The weirdness that comes across is kind of like a nerd trying to seem cool. I'm not sure how effective that personality is longterm at a major program where you constantly have to work people.
