The absolute vast majority wanted Herman, he sucked too so no reason to trust the Rant for advice on hiring a HC

Maybe he's referring to people he knows in real life? Crazy concept right

People were unable to recognize that the immediate offensive output after Miles was fired was a result of the competition and not coaching.
Missouri, Ole Miss, and USM were bad teams (somehow OM was ranked at the time we played them).
We then scored a combined 10 points against Bama and Florida at home, but people still convinced themselves the offense was better.
He was then given the job after beating an average aTm team.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I remember being somewhat happy after we lost to Florida in 2016 because I thought it meant that at least Coach O would not get the job. Then, I remember him being announced as the coach the next day
First, never be happy when the Tigers lose, if you love da tigahs. Second, he was hired a whole week later, after they beat the Aggies.
Many of us wanted a big time hire then. Hiring O was very underwhelming. I do remember hoping for the best anyway and thinking what a great story it would be if the local coach won it all. 2019 was a dream season. Too bad it was a one time thing and we didn't have a program that could "reload".

Herman was OC at Ohio State and won the NC with a third-string QB.
He was 22-4 as head coach at Houston.
At Texas, he was 32-18 overall (22-13 in conference). Clearly not the leap up that UT was looking for, but it wasn't bad at all.
And just because a coach doesn't succeed at one school, doesn't mean he can't do well at another.
I think Herman would've excelled here.

He was not, just more people were mad at Alleva's incompetence at losing Herman that mad at O for getting the job.

I don't recall it being a popular hire. I do remember him being popular in 2019.

everyone wanted Todd Herman and look how well that worked out for Texas.
Posted on 10/14/21 at 10:54 am to Old Character
At that point anyone who had a philosophy outside of 3 yards and a cloud of dust was attractive.
Posted on 10/14/21 at 11:08 am to Old Character
He wasn’t. There’s people out there who will blindly support whoever the hc hire is. It could be Daffy Duck.
Posted on 10/14/21 at 11:09 am to Old Character
A vocal minority of mostly sidewalk fans were the only people happy about his hire.

False.

Meh. Herman is still a better coach than O, and I would still take him in a choice between the two.
