He is 60-38 as HC for .610 winning percentage.

Seems like he may have an offputting personality, but - objectively - the guy can coach.

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


This. I have a mutual friend with Saban and Saban told him he breathed a sigh of relief when Herman didn't pick LSU. Tremendously gifted with schemes

He doesn't have a bad overall record but he's disappointed way more than he's surpassed expectation. After the miracle first year at Houston they get in the top 10 then lose 3 conference games. Even the highwater mark at Texas is a 4 loss season with two to teams with losing records. His FAU tenure was an instant regret by fricking FAU.

And you think Tom is going to make FSU elite?


It's really hard to tell if he is a parody account or not. Just nod and smile.

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.


One of my good buddies played at Rice in the 90s and was fairly prominent within the Rice world. When Herman was there as an assistant they were good buddies and both lived in my neighborhood. He said when Herman got his first head job at UH he turned into a completely different person and was a total prick.

once norvell is shite canned at the end of the year or before FSU will just make him the head.

Wouldn't you say the same for Kiffin in 3 or 4 years and have Ed Orgeron to be the next LSU HC?

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

This will work out well for them.

Are saying FSU will be back to beating Florida and start trending upwards?

Would you say the same for Texas A&M and a few others?

I would say the same for Ed Orgeron but in year 3 or 4.

Bring your parachute.

Just a rumor but she tried to open the door while a plane was in the air.
