You used him because he is the guy you wanted as HC of LSU. You could have used a myriad of other examples but chose poorly. It had nothing to do with me and my support of the current LSU HC.

I don't give a frick about Herman. I used him because in a response to a different poster, on several occasions, you didn't give him credit for his 1st year Houston because it wasnt his program, yet touted an interim tenure for O. that's it. it's not my fault you don't have reading comprehension skills worse.
you are literally the only person that I ever mention Tom Herman with.
I actually wanted jimbo or any coach that had proven he can run a run a successful side of the ball or program. but hey it is nice seeing you run your dick sucker after beating but.
you sir are in for a dalsu let down if he he doesnt win 10 games on the reg.

The UT fans are just starting to realize, like Rich-Momma that his first season is NOT the only thing that matters in his career track.
Losing to 3 under-talented teams he was favored by should have opened more people's eyes than mine.

Good, it may help it you also tried following college football.

no one said it was dumbass. but to not give him credit for the wins in his 1st season because it wasnt his program and then tout an interim tenure is tigeretarded. thats the simple point I kept making. not that he was this great coach. it's like talking to 3 year old with no reasoning skills.

Nice non-answer. Why do you explain it to me like I'm 5?

If we lend equal weight to each of the seasons, then we have a great season and an ok season. You're portraying his last season as a disaster and it was 9-4, which is not bad by any measure. Even still, why do you lend greater weight to last season than you do the first season?
You never answered this by the way.

I can use any sample size I want. My judging coaches may be a little different than yours.
It was 9-3. Herman bailed before the bowl game beatdown he would have received.
Are you serious? Why does anyone today lend greater weight to Les Miles' last four seasons over his first eight? Should he still be the coach of LSU because of his first five or six seasons?

That's not explaining why you use small sample sizes to extrapolate a coach's career trajectory. I never questioned your ability to do so.

So you're saying one can judge a program's trajectory based on two back to back seasons just as accurately as you can judge it through 8 seasons?

You mean, despite you and several other meatheads hoping and praying things would go to shite when he took over.
God help us when he loses another game.

Nope, I am not judging any college football program and their trajectory. I don't give a shite about the Houston Cougars. did you watch their games last season when you thought Herman was a possibility for the LSU job? I didn't.

The coach's career track, that's what I meant.
So am I correct in assuming that you're not going to ever explain to me why you can cherry pick a few games and extrapolate a coach's career from that sample size, and why that method is superior to utilizing a larger sample size? We can drop this right now if the conversation has stalled, which it appears is the case.

I'm not gonna get any more narcassistic by ed orgeron faiking.
it's also pretty telling that you didn't appy this same logic to yourself the last 5 years of shitting on te lsu coach.
if questioning a coach means you want him to fail then you wanted lsu to fail for the last 5 years. but let me guess that logic only applies to people that don't share your opinions.
you know I respect and like you red. I don't want O to fail not would I wish him to fail. i hope he has the best tenure in lsu history and I get told how wrong I was.
also, being an anonymous poster on a message board doesn't give me my self worth. raising my son into a man gives me my sense of self worth. trying to be a compassionate person to others give me a sense of self worth. nothing in agame by ,played by kids ,gives me a sense of self worth and i dont expect lsu football to boost or take away from your sense of self worth. that's some bama fan type bullshite where they can't walk into their factory with their chest out if bama doesn't win

Curious minds want to know. I guess it's just an innate ability that I have. It was actually pretty easy though. Coach Eaux took over two unranked teams who had fired their head coach. After he took over they played better, became ranked and went to bowl games.
As far as Herman, you just look at win loss record and I look at stuff like the fact that he beat a 1-7 in conference Tulane and gained 287 total yards offense. And that is with him being an offensive guru. So yes it was a win. Impressive or even acceptable, HELL NO !!!
Yes, last season his record was decent. but when you consider he had more talent than every team he played but two, is it really decent?
If you look at the betting lines and what his teams did offensively and who they lost to, I am damn glad he is at UT and not LSU.

Unlike you?
Now you qualify almost every post with how you hope Coach Eaux is successful. Why haven't you ever done that before.
Now you say the only reason you mentioned Herman was because of me and you NEVER wanted him as head coach. Funny that in all the conversations we have had about Herman TODAY is the first time you have ever mentioned that.
Next week you'll be telling everybody how you always wanted Coach Eaux and Alleva would have been an idiot to not have hired him and that UT was an idiot for hiring the love of your life.
I guess even broken records can be fixed sometimes.

You and I share optimism and realistic views on coach O but I have to defend Rick here, not on every post he's made but about Herman. The two stances arnt mutually exclusive I was high on Herman also but I'm a big coach O supporter. You can have both opinions and they not be contradictory.
