Report: Tom Herman to Texas is ‘all but official’
Not sure how reliable Yardbarker is, so consider the source...
but something we've all speculated on - whether Tom Herman will get a big-time job - and where will it be?
Big rumor today is that Tom Herman to #Longhorns is "all but offical." Reliable sources saying what has been suspected for awhile now.
Short and sweet as I'm heading to a meeting - but...
DISCUSS!
***EDIT - seeing more than just Yardbarker reporting it - so guessing this puppy might have some legs.***

Looks great. All you forgot was a pencil taking care of the pony tail.

You sure like pencils & pony tails!

Maybe the NCAA will let him recruit for Texas while Strong still coaches like they did for osu and Urban.

remember when Saban to Texas was all but official. I never trust rumors about Texas, but I guess this is plausable. I'm sure the Texas players are excited at the thought of having to constantly be kissed by their coach.

Doesn't Texas still have a coach? How are they hiring another while still having their current coach? I mean, fire the dude before you hire his successor at least.

Charlie is lucky that he isn't being asked to train Tom as a condition to receive his severance package.

looking for a new coach without firing the old one is ethically right or not. It's fine. What you have to question is the way Texas publicly undermined Strong while he's still the coach and trying to win games. They basically issued a no confidence pronouncement via the media a few weeks back. I'm no Strong supporter or anything like that, but IMO, scrambling to get to the front of the line in the Herman sweepstakes while trampling over your existing coach isn't a real good look for Texas.

Despite your use of a Western icon in your avatar, I'm gonna go ahead and guess Texas gives a good fuck about your approval...
Did we or did we not begin the search for Hoke's successor (and RR's for that matter) about halfway through his final season? And fire DB in our hearts, minds and in the media as well?
When someone fails at this particular industry the search for the next answer begins loudly and publicly. I don't believe Yardbarker or whatever it is speaks for the Texas heirarchy, just relating whispers from well-heeled boosters.

If he can't right this ship, I would be wary of hiring him. I honestly can't see how that doesn't reflect poorly on him and while mgoblog seems to really like him, going from top 10 team to dumpster fire is not a good look.

to repair a clubhouse and motivate your players if they think you're about to desert them. I'd expect he's going to have a hard time getting them to listen.

Wrong: John Gruden to Texas.
October 25th, 2016 at 10:06 AM ^
There is an unwritten rule that no credible coaching information can leak out until after the "John Gruden to team X" discussion happens on the interwebs.
October 25th, 2016 at 10:03 AM ^
And Les Miles to Michigan is a done deal too, per Kirk Herbstreit, circa 2007...
October 25th, 2016 at 10:14 AM ^
Dude is going to totally destroy the B10 with his solid Louisiana recruiting pipeline, huge personality and overall awesomeness. Any chanc that he brings Cam Cameron with him, because that would be insane!!!!

He's bringing back the toughness passed down by Bo! Can't wait!

Because nothing would make me want him more than having seen Houston's recent performances....

...is whether Todd Orlando will be following him to Austin, or if another big time program tries to poach him. I think alum96 did profiles of DC candidates last year - Orlando and Pete Kwiatowski (the DC at Washington) really stood out.
I personally think Herman (if he brings Orlando) is going to kill it at UT - the young team of freshman and sophomores this year is a year older and Charlie Strong, even if he couldn't put together a defense to stop Big 12 teams, could recruit.

SOO happy he stayed away from LSU and the SEC.
October 25th, 2016 at 10:38 AM ^
but Oregon has to be making a move, right? I mean, Helfrich looks like the ultimate example of a captain of a sinking ship. Will be interesting to see which spread zealot they hire -- probably too early to bring Todd back to Eugene after only one year at UCF, but his team has (predictably) been way more competetive this year. I would be interested to see what a guy like D. Mullen could do at Oregon, and it seems like only a matter of time before Larry Fedora leaves UNC - he is rumored for a step-up job almost every year.

Houston probably isn't going to make a NY6 bowl at this point, much less the playoff. There's no reason for him to really beat around the bush anymore.
He gone.

Should be in for some classic scoring battles in the future vs Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Baylor to name a few.

Do they make burnt orange grills?
October 25th, 2016 at 11:23 AM ^
Does anyone else think Texas had a hand in the Big 12 deciding not to expand because they wanted Herman.
