Meyer put "morality clause" in Herman's contract in 2018. Now THAT'S funny!

Herman got a 15.4 M guaranteed payoff from UT. No wonder he’s not working right now. He grew up in California. ASU should be all over him.
That's why Texas didn't have enough scholarship OL this spring to go 1s vs 2s. Herman started well, but his recruiting fell off the cliff his last 2 years. Him keeping Herb Hand as the OL coach should've been enough to warrant a firing. Nevermind all the immature crap he pulled while in Austin. Wonder why his name isn't hardly mentioned with all these coaching vacancies? Colorado would be a perfect fit for him to try and build his reputation back.
Between the coaches at OSU, U of Houston, and U of Texas, I'm sure there are some who would fit right in, that may or may not be working and available, and do a good job. And if he were to retain Mickey, Busch, and Applewhite I could get on board.
(But that's not a deal-breaker for me, I just think they have all 3 done a good job at NU. Retain those 3 and fire the rest including Duval. It would be great to retain Vince also).
Whoever the head coach is, I'm gonna get on board for a year and a half regardless. We all know whoever takes over this mess better be ready for some heavy lifting for 2-3 years.
My top 5 available (minus Kiffin, and Urban, cause I don't think they're coming) candidates would be:
Herman, O'Brien, Mickey, Leipold, Viegen.
IMO. Herman more than O'Brien because he typically runs a more balanced offensive attack.
Mid 40's coach. Coach at N Dakota State, Wyoming, and the HC at Montana State. Year one took them to the FCS National title game.
I think dingle was the first one to mention him and I took a look. He could be that small-time guy that folks don't know about. They can come from anywhere.
Good coach who never had a losing season at Texas. Either CU or ASU would be a good fit for him. The strange thing is, since he's not working for years, why hasn't he been offered a HC job by now? Something doesn't seem right with him.
His recruiting was perfectly fine. Texas looked more physically impressive than Alabama when they played imo. Texas's struggles the last couple of years are 100% on Sark.
Hilarious. Texas starts a true freshman and a RS freshman on the OL this year. They only ran for 79 yards against Alabama, with arguably the best RB in the country. Herman didn't prioritize OL in recruiting and it shows up almost every game when they play a physical defensive front, beginning last year.
Sark has had 2 years to beef up his own OL with transfers and his own recruits. It's entirely on him if it isn't up to par.
Yeah something has to be going on there? Too good of a coach to be unemployed?
Herman ran Texas into the ground. While I appreciate that fact. Not welcome at Nebraska.
Right. Because it only takes 2 years (1 full recruiting cycle) to develop a legit OL. Exactly how many all conference type OL were in the portal last year? I'd venture a guess way under 10. Warm bodies? Sure, plenty of them. How'd that OL from Okla State turn out?
But, will TO and "the boosters" approve? Because apparently they make all the decisions here.
