I mean that’s an endorsement that carries a lot of weight right there. 

This take is so fucking hilarious. Why do you you fucking care? Herman was never getting fired after 2019, so if you really want him gone, then why do you give any fucking shits at all who he's hiring. I would think you would welcome this hire with open arms, because to you it means he's likely gone after the 2020 season.
You remind me of the same people complaining Trump took out Soleimani.

Just like Shaka went to the Final 4. I've seen enough of Pierce to know he sucks. Texas should be moving away from the Patterson/Perrin hires as quickly as possible.

Yep

Tired:   Hiring a Texas High School Coach to work on your staff or in the recruiting office

Wired:  Hiring a former Texas trainer and having a connection to every private trainer in the state.

 

This is some MENSA shit happening right before our eyes...

Honestly that makes me happier about this hire, Davante Davis still sees Jennings' face in his nightmares.

Unless your coach seems so sure of himself that he has convinced everybody that we did not shoot ourselves in the left testicle and we should keep doing what we are doing, which in essence is shooting ourselves in the right testicle

Just a reminder that Wescott Ebert thinks Art Briles is a man of God and deserves another chance to coach college football. 
 

im shocked, shocked that the hire of a failed trainer from the state of Texas would be met with adulation from all the other trainers on the state. It’s almost like they all have an agenda or something.

From the neck up, at least, yeah, sure.

These trainers seem to be a little toooo happy about this hire.

I don't get the point of mocking "Trust the coaches". What else are we going to do? Bitch and moan? Fly a banner before the team gets on the field? Say I told you so if things don't work out?

I’m thinking they are happy one of their own got a coaching job. Sort of validates them all.

That’s my thinking. Dude is probably dirty as hell.

Genuinely curious, has a blue blood program ever hired someone with less credentials than Valai? Meh and Warheim had more robust resumes... Who are the other contenders?

Pretty hilarious that the same people that hate Herman and want him fired get so pissed at his “shitty” hires that, if proven to be so, will help expedite his firing after this next year.  Must be weird to live in that world.  

Because what we want is success on the football field. We don't want Herman fired because we don't like him. We want him fired because he can't hire, or lead, or apparently coach. How is this so difficult to understand?

Firing Herman is merely our guess as to the best means to the end of improving Texas Football. If Herman happens to fix his shit by hiring people smarter and better than he is to run the show (Narrator: He won't.), then by all means, keep him around and pay him a billion.

It's nothing personal towards Herman. It's that he has yet to demonstrate the capacity to coach at the level we need.

I mean JWash and Jean-Mary are both legit recruiters, which is a good skill (but, no shit, not everything)

Mehringer just had a year where he got absolutely bailed out by those around him.

If we tried to hire faculty the way these troglodytes conduct coaching searches, our administration would throw a fit.  We are expected to conduct a national search and interview candidates mostly from top or comparable schools.  It’s an extremely thorough and time-consuming search process, but is critical to hiring the best in the field (that we can get) and maintaining our reputation.   If instead we went to our Dean saying we wanted to hire our buddy who used to teach at UH (but flamed out), he would literally laugh in our face.  It would be a non-starter.  Yet on the athletics side, our administration just goes into sleep mode while we hand out mega contracts to under-qualified (or unqualified) buddies or past acquaintances.

You’re a B-school prof and you don’t think this happens?

Not where I work, and you should be thankful.  If we wanted to hire the academic equivalent of this DB coach, it would be a hard "no" from the higher ups and a "what the fuck are you thinking?"  Maybe that kind of shit flies at bum fuck U or in some other department, but not here.  We aspire to be the best public school in the country, and we try to hire that way.
