No, he needs to stop drinking and treating people around him like shite. That's what killed him. Basically the same story as Sumlin TBH.

He's part of Mensa. This makes him the smartest person on FSU's campus.

This will work out well for them.

Gus saved his job last year. Maybe Herman can do it this year.

It is absolutely wild how high this guy's stock was, only for him to be a massive fraud.

There is no sure thing in college football. That's for sure.

He was an excellent OC, then was incredible at UH as HC. UH was 22-4 with him and beat FSU in the Peach Bowl and then OU and Louisville when they were both ranked in the top 5 the next season.

Texas is a different animal for everyone, but it did fall apart there

A strange one for sure because he obviously can coach if he can keep the other distractions to a minimum

I am in the minority, but at the time I thought Texas should’ve given him more time. 2020 was bizarro world and it seemed odd to fire him then.

Tom is a weird one though, and didn’t align with the culture at UT, to put it bluntly.

fsu needs a guy with edge and attitude to really open their potential. They need a scummy guy and Herman is that.

Even with Norvell they show flashes, as you may recall they 31-17 beatdown they gave bama just last year.
