*****GAME THREAD - Texas Longhorns @ Iowa State Cyclones*****

Herman firing staff will not help.Just shuffles the deck chairs on the Titanic. He is not HC material. He has had his 3 seasons and is a FAIL. Keeping him will only delay his inevitable departure as UT remains a program wallowing in mediocrity. I'm done with this guy. ............"At least there is love on the team"

Herman has to go and Texas just like USC, Florida State, Auburn,  and probably South Carolina all have to hire a new head coach and staff. I just do not know who that super coach is other than Urban but I do not think he is ready to dive back in to the water right now. Another college that will be hiring is Arkansas as they are done with Morris.

I have followed UT football since DKR. UT has had six coaches before Herman. Three I consider successful which are DKR, Fred Akers, and Mack Brown. Fred Akers did not win a NC, but he was two wins short of winning two NC. (Notre Dame and Georgia). We have had three unsuccessful coaches in David McWilliams, John Mackovic, and Charlie Strong.

Here are the record of past UT coaches after three years

Successful coaches

DKR                          22-9-1 70%

Fred Akers             29-7      80%

Mack Brown          27-11    71%

Unsuccessful

David McWilliams  16-18   47%

John Mackovic        19-14-1 57%

Charlie Strong         16-21   43%

If UT loses the last two games against Baylor and Texas Tech then Herman three year record will be 23-16 which is a 58% winning percentage which places Herman along with Mackovic.

Please fire Herman so we can get out of the funk we have been stuck in.

 

[Eastexhorn]

He just blew a 25-pt lead. No thanks. 

Well at least he had a 25 point lead fdid Herman ever lead by this much.

IMO Matt can ourcoach Tom six days a week and twice on Sundays

He just blew a 25-pt lead. No thanks. 

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Did our defense not get better once we fired Carl Reese? We fired Reese, then won the NC.

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

Herman appears to be a fraud..  If major changes are not made he will be gone next year IMO.

Can someone provide the post game presser. I can’t find it.

Why?     ?

Do we have a national championship offense?

I love Sam... and I don’t know why (though I could guess) but he has regressed.  He even looks tentative out there now.  

Pre-game they said ISU had an advantage at QB.  Pre-season Sam was on a list of Heisman hopefuls.  We have been outplayed at that position in every one of our losses... even though Sam played great in the LSU game.  

It’s hard for any offensive player to ok good when the opposing defense knows what’s you’re doing.  In week 2 the LSU defense knew what was coming on the goal line and stonewalled it multiple times.  This offensive staff is the least creative staff I’ve ever seen.  An OC is supposed to find the weakness in the defense and exploit it.  This staff, whoever is actually calling the plays, just does what we do and hope it works.  The DC is supposed to play his personnel to best stop the opposin offense. Orlando does what he does, even with a bunch injured in the backend and hopes for good results.  Fact is, this staff is incompetent.

Kicker and punter are off the table.  Can anyone name me one position group that is NOT performing beneath expectations?  I cannot.

This team as a whole has regressed a lot ‘this season.

Texas


When Texas was able to reach the 10-win mark with an impressive win over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl at the end of the 2018 season, it took the usual hype surrounding the Longhorns to a new level entering 2019. All offseason, we heard that Texas was a legitimate College Football Playoff contender despite the number of contributors it lost from its defense. The high level of recruiting would keep the momentum rolling and Texas was set to return to glory in Tom Herman’s third year, right? Wrong. 

After losing 23-21 to Iowa State on Saturday, Herman’s team dropped to 6-4 on the year and is meandering toward a middling bowl game. The way Texas performed on Saturday — in the first half especially — didn’t much resemble the team that played LSU tight back in Week 2. Since then, UT lost to Oklahoma, TCU and Iowa State, and it needed last-second field goals to beat Kansas and Kansas State. 

Herman has always pointed to the hole he needed to dig out from previous coaching regimes to get Texas back on top of the Big 12 and beyond. He still has a long way to go — if it’s something he can do at all.

I would say WR is the next best group
