Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]
Herman prepares his teams well when he feels his back is against the wall. Unfortunately, the dynamics of this season are such that his back is against the wall (or mirror, depending on your perspective) for the remainder of the season. I think that makes things very likely that he'll win every game until the ccg. For that game, he might feel validated and go back to crappy preparation, or it might not matter bc the opponent might just be better and more prepared. I really hope it doesn't take that long for the next loss, but it wouldn't surprise me. Fridays game is the most losable we have left, and we've had weeks to rest and prepare. I won't be surprised at all if we win, even though isu is objectively better than tcu.

Urban Meyer or bust
I'm also not sure any of it should reflect on her, anyway. If my boss makes his wife too much a part of our work, I'm pissed at my boss, not his wife. He's the one managing his responsibilities poorly.

Ewers or Bust- Lord have mercy I’m bout to bust
Every time I get worried that we might do something stupid and keep Herman, I read something like this and imagine it makes cdc and the bmds as angry as it makes me, and I have hope again that we won't.

Urban Meyer or bust
Clearly Urban keeps swooping in during objectively disastrous seasons for embattled coaches and singlehandedly tanking their recruiting classes. Clay Helton and Tom Herman were prepared to pull in monster classes despite shitting their pants on national tv every weekend until mean old Urban Meyer came along and existed in rumors. That bastard.

He also didn't ask us to respect his decision. Which is good. Because I don't.

Riley recruits well despite rumors he's leaving for the same reason that Herman can't recruit during rumors he's being replaced: until something actually happens, recruits ignore the rumors and assume the person they're talking to will continue to be the coach.

Todd Orlando to be DC at USC?
I found this to be the more shocking quote from that article:
-
Muschamp shitcanned
Hey, I mention in my post that they can work out. How many pictures could I post of highly sought after coordinators who crash and burn as HCs? That's the point. Plenty of great coordinators are terrible HCs. Some do successfully make the transition, but I'm not sold you can predict who is who without a real audition. You shouldn't audition at a school like Texas. Schools like Texas are where you land after you've proven yourself.

Muschamp shitcanned
I was referring to Muschamp's hciw offer, but yes, we never actually ended up hiring him.

Anwar is Herman's guy, right? That reply feels particularly scripted, as though he was answering a question he wanted to be asked.

Muschamp shitcanned
Muschamp is why I never want us to hire a coordinator for their first hc job again. When he was named hciw waiting with us, he was as sure a coordinator to hc hire as you could imagine. Coached great defense, his players loved him, seemed ready to make the jump. Hell, he was so in demand that Florida poached him from an in waiting position. It's hard to imagine things going worse than they have for him as a hc. I don't recall ever watching one of his teams and being remotely impressed. These days not even his defenses are worth a damn. I know there are a few coordinators who come up in our search and I want no part of it. Yes, some of them do pan out, but it's highly variable and the risk isn't worth it on their first shot. Let some other program see if they can make the jump and hire them away if they do. It will be more expensive, but if they succeed you'd have to pay them more anyway. Just let the testing happen on someone else's dime.

LSU in trouble?
If their season continues as it has started, they might be very willing to use this to part ways with their coach.

Urban Meyer or bust
Crazy how quickly things change. Just a couple of weeks ago most on this board were pointing out that we had a chance at Franklin and fucked up by passing. The team that is 0-4 is 100% his. Their results this year are completely on him and they're shockingly bad. In just a few weeks, he's gone from likely getting a raise from Penn State to fend off other programs, to hoping he's not on the hot seat. I don't know if I've ever seen a faster fall from grace, Herman included.

Funny thing is, Tom stole the family Friday thing from Urban. I shit you not, it was a Florida thing that I'm guessing he took to Ohio State. It's not such a shitty thing when you're winning a lot. Only seems like a waste of valuable time when the team isn't good and could use the working time.

Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]
The only thing I want clarified is if it needs to be a regular season loss. I'd argue we could survive Iowa State and still have a high likelihood of losing to whoever we'd face in the CCG. If Herman makes the game, does he save his job, or does he need to win the conference? I think it should be win the conference or out. (technically I'd like him gone either way, but understand it's unlikely you fire a coach who just won the conference). The big 12 was there for the taking this year and we appear to have massively fucked it up. That plus recruiting should be enough if Tom can't win it this year.

Bru McCoy recovered the onside kick that allowed USC to pull off the miracle comeback. He also scored a TD for them. If he had stuck with us, they very well may have lost that game.

Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
The good news is that, given the spiking cases across the country right now, I'm sure everyone will be making responsible choices over the next few weeks and not traveling to attend large indoor family gatherings. No wait, sorry, that's exactly what they're all going to do.

Bijan Robinson is special
If he played under Riley, would it have taken over half of the season before he had his first breakout game? It's great to know we have a player with this kind of game changing ability on offense where we so desperately need one, but equally frustrating how poorly we've utilized him this year.

What's impressive about futureman and his commitment to his craft here is that I still can't tell if what's happening in this thread is a continuation of or him breaking his usual character.

LSU fucking up their dream season and potential playoff chances would be absolutely beautiful, but I believe the game is in cs this year and I don't think they'll need 7 OTs to fix a game against this particular tiger squad.- Super Fun West Virginia vs Texas Game Checklist
