re: Tom Herman's dubious claim to fame. The 2014 Ohio State Natty? Not so fast

Herman got fired from Texas because he didn't bench his senior QB that was beloved by the locker room. Ehlingher was arse this year. He didn't understand the new offense and wasn't even consistent throwing the checkdown passes.

If you didn't watch their bowl game this year they were in a 17-10 nailbiter with Colorado at halftime. Their offense had stalled out for the past 4 drives and things were going to shite. Turns out Sam got injured at the end of the first half. 3rd quarter starts and the backup Thompson, a redshirt sophomore, comes in and goes 8/10 for 170 yards and 4 TDs. Dude could actually hit a throw longer than 20 yards. It was a revelation. By the 4th quarter its a blow out and the 3rd stringers are in.

Herman was a QB away from putting it together at Texas and he had the QB on the bench waiting for Sam to leave. Sark is set up well to succeed but with the staff changing, things might not go so smoothly. I get why everyone hates Herman but I think Texas fricked themselves firing him.
