Funny how all we've heard from Ree is about Canada being a finalist huh? But herman actually winning it means nothing.

I never said that. This is the first time I have even heard that he won it.

So a Broyles Award winning OC gained 303 total yards in a 38-16 loss to a 23 point dog SMU?

And gained 287 total yards against Tulane?

DAMN !!! I bet the other finalists that year that didn't win are either laughing their butts off or are very pissed.

Things really haven't been the same in Austin since Darrell Royal retired. They have had their spurts, but nothing consistent. Given the fan and political environment down there, I am not even sure Royal could make it these days. That said, he did have some arse kicking teams when he was HC.

Herman is 4-4 in his last 8 games. Cherry picking or not 4-4 with more talented teams than the ones he lost to is not good. Going from the #6 ranked team in the nation to unranked is not good. Regardless of whether it is agenda or objective driven I'm just very glad he is at Texas.

That's the problem with coaches who have a gimmick.

If other teams figure the gimmick out, some of them don't have a 2nd gimmick.

I'm not saying Herman isn't a good coach. That would be silly. But, I am saying he doesn't have enough of a track record as an HC to say definitively he can run a program.

And yeah. Losing to teams you completely outman is really unacceptable.

I recorded his press conference on the Longhorn Network and am watching it now. His demands that the media not tweet during press conferences and players, parents and family not tweet about the program works. The media is throwing softballs but it is SO obvious he is in over his head.

Within the first few minutes he said "you can't fire people from their jobs" then he corrected himself and said you can't fire "players from their jobs". He has EVERYONE on edge now. He also said you can't hit the panic button and they aren't changing because of one hiccup. GOOD, I hope you stay with the shite that lost to Maryland, Navy, SMU and Memphis forever. It's obvious it works.

They say the smartest people are the closest to being absolutely bat shite crazy. This guy is there. I hope the players aren't watching this shite or UT may never recover watching this psycho.

He's well hydrated though. That is a water drinkin MF'er. He did say he is there for the long-haul, that's a good thing. He's happy it was a somber place the day after losing to Maryland. Like he didn't realize the somber mood was because of his and his high school staff's shitty coaching.

Great stuff !!!

Mentioning the fans throwing stuff on the field. He says hopefully they (coaching staff) and OFFICIALS won't give them reason to.

The officials??? I don't remember one bad call in that game. The BAD calls were at least 6 bone-headed coaching decisions.

He thinks UT is on their way. He thinks they will show it this week against San Jose State - Ha Ha Ha.

Now they weren't outmanned - but he's not going to throw the players under the bus. This guy is ALL OVER.

"The decisions ultimately go through me, you're never going to get me to throw someone under the bus. I thought about it and it should be one singular message, but right now the message needs to be - long pause - FROM ME". He's still fricking with the media.

this is a well hydrated person. He gulps when he drinks and drinks a lot. If he drinks alcohol he is probably well buzzed in 2 minutes or less.

But O does. You people are pathetic and silly.

I had hoped that LSU fans were at least somewhat realistic and logical. I'm disappointed that my assessment was apparently incorrect.

Ha...let's evaluate in 3 years not after one game. But such is the nature of our society today.

I sincerely hope he can say the same at that time.

That's fair and I agree, though saying what he has is a "gimmick" is flatly wrong. The offense he runs is pretty common place in CFB for over a decade, though it is understandable that LSU fans don't recognize a functioning offense

Define completely out man? LSU has more talent than Kentucky we don't have them completely out manned imo. Herman's 4 loses in 2 years at UH were all to teams in his conference, the worst was SMU who finished 5-7, UConn finished 6-7 after losing their bowl. Navy and Memphis had winning records, Navy has had 12 winning season in 13 years so clearly they can compete against their peers, which UH is, even if their recruiting classes don't rank as high. UH was a -14 vs Navy that's basically the same as LSU over Florida last year FYI and -5.5 over Memphis, hardly a team they had completely out manned.

You are correct that Herman doesn't have enough of a track record to fully evaluate and i get it if someone thinks he was too inexperienced for LSU. But the picture Ree paints is is not accurate and based purely on bias and a complete lack of understanding about football.
