I’m speculating here:
If you still think Tom Herman should be coaching at Texas next year, your reasoning is not based on the football product. Maybe you think it’s unfair or immoral to fire a coach before his contract is up; maybe you like him and feel sorry for him; maybe you loathe Urban Meyer and don’t want to see him in Burnt Orange.... but you really can’t look at this team play and think, “this is exactly what I want.... we’re headed in the right direction!” Can you?
I don’t want to hear 8-2 and playing for a conference championship either. I hate to do this, but I will.... our conference stinks! We play in a watered down version of the later-day SWC. If we were decent, we’d breeze to the conference championship game every year, kind of like that school north of the Red River. 2 losses (best case scenario) is unacceptable- especially in a year that even the coaching staff pointed to as “THE YEAR!” Drop this Texas team in the college playoffs and what do you think happens to us? For that matter, drop ISU, K-State or this years OU... what happens? Is a 30 point loss optimistic?? Is a 50 point loss out of the question???
Maybe you’re hoping that CTH will learn on the fly and restore Texas to the level of a rightful blue blood football school? Okay, but I still submit your hope isn’t based on what your eyeballs see on Saturdays.
