I guess we should have hired Jeff Brohm.
Friday Five: Ranking the best college football coaching hires in the Power Five
2. Texas -- Tom Herman: The funny thing about the Herman hire at Texas is that it's the biggest move on the coaching carousel, but it also feels like the quietest. I think we were all just assuming that Herman was going to end up at Texas for so long that when it finally happened the collective response was just "yep."
However it went down, and whatever the reaction, it's still a huge hire for Texas, and the best hire it could have made -- of realistic options -- for the program going forward. Houston did not have the same kind of season in 2016 that it did in 2015, but Herman is still one of the brightest young coaches in the sport right now. Just look at some of the recruiting successes he had at Houston, and now extrapolate that out to what he'll be able to do while wearing a burnt orange polo.
Herman is just as skilled at putting together an offense as he is at recruiting, which will be a key at Texas. I've always been a big fan of Charlie Strong, and sincerely hoped it would work out for him in Austin, but Herman is a much better fit for the gig than Strong ever was.
Due to that, the next time we proclaim that Texas is BACK, it might actually be.
