Hermann needs to go

[RickyFlair]

I actually believe that we have the talent to win out. Based on what he has shown, Herman is the coach that can put a prepared, disciplined team on the field each week that will be necessary to win every game. 

I hope you left out the word “not” by accident. “Herman is the coach that can NOT put a prepared....“

 

[RickyFlair]

all this talk about the next coach at the Forty Acres...here is my take...If you change horses you need to go with a proven National winner which points toward Meyer, any other name and you are just changing horses of a different color...I watched Alabama vs Georgia last night and they just have better athletes across the board

They have better developed athletes. Coming out of HS many of our kids are comparable with Alabama and Georgia’s.  The issue is they are not much better and in some cases worse than they were as Freshmen. No one can recruit well enough to win on ability it takes development.

No, I compare CTH to Tony Romo. He wins just enough to give you hope, then he goes out and brutally kills that hope. And it will be rinse, repeat each year.

Make a preliminary deal with Urban, come back and fire CTH, wait until CTH clears the parking lot, then hire Urban officially.

This!  I mean seriously, go back to his presser after the TT win. I'm thinking these are words of a 1st year head coach who's team just played their 1st game ever under him. Not the words of a head coach in the midst of a " This is UT's " year of a season.  Again, fire him yesterday please.

Don’t look at points that can be decieving. People say that our offense is great but they put the D in terrible situations. We are solid in Pass yard per game which is great we just need to sure up the run D. From a football perspective, This defense is more structurally sound than any defense we’ve had in the last decade. The defense is not a worry for me right now.

I hear you and you have a valid point..yeah its hard to not look at the pts..in football when you allow the other guys to score more pts than you..you lose. I havent been able to get around that in my mind. The offense has scored over 50pts in 3 of 4 games. I believe the defense has been given a short field by the offense at times but majority of the time the opponent has scored at will helped by poor coverage,poor tackling, poor run defense, poor pass rush and dumb penalties ..whew! theres alot there to point out. Imo the defense has hurt the horns more than the offense or ST's..Ash has to put in some OT looking at film and helping the defense communicate better in secondary. Have the position coaches step up their game and develop these players. I glad this is a bye week..I hope that something is being done by this staff to improve the defense..we will see next week.

I've watched Mark Dantonio from afar for awhile and thought he would do a heck of a job if given a place that had talent, hes done pretty good at a college that seems like it just cant get the talent in there. I know he had an issue come up that he resigned over but would CDC even consider him? or any one else on here? He also has texas ties i believe so i dont think he would ever leave. I don't know any details about why he resigned so could be a moot point.

No, thank you. He was 27-24 his last four years at Michigan State and then he was caught in a recruiting scandal.

He should have had a bagman if he's going to cheat.

I give you that, but it isn't easy to win at MSU with UM, ND, OSU, WISKY, and PSU all right in your recruiting back yard. Despite that, he still did well for a school like MSU. 

All that said, I don't know anything about the recruiting scandal you mention.

1. Urban Meyer

2. Mike Gundy

3. Matt Rhule

4. P J Fleck

5. Neal Brown

6. Bronco Mendenhall

I would take Matt Ruhle as my number one choice. Everything that I've read about him and the way he was able to rebuild rape friendly Baylor was impressive.

Carolina was smart to give him a seven year $60-70 million contract. He's suppose to have a long rebuild, but he has them at 3-3.


Matt Rhule has got the Carolina Panthers believing again

Would any good coach in their right mind come the the dumpster fire that UT athletics has become? Seriously.

 

[primal defense]

If Herman wins out are we all in favor of keeping him?

Sure if he finished at 9-2 then would deserve to come back. I don't believe that's going to hapen.

Our strength and conditioning and training program has been bad for the last decade. That was what Urban said about our program.

 

[primal defense]

This is one of the reason that shows that Herman is over his head. Herman coached teams are undisciplined ever since he's been our. coach. 

It's not Covid or the Eyes of Texas it's just bad coaching.

It seems we make them look good on the hoof, but slow them down drastically

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

Another day has passed and Herman is still not fired.  More wasted time.

This team going 9-2 is about as probable as me finding a unicorn in Lake Ray Hubbard.

I do wonder of this job is as vaunted as it once was.  There are many factors, including the added headache of the LHN and their cameras. But I do think we need to ground ourselves in reality and stop mentioning people like:  Dabo, Saban, Shannahan, etc....  the Urban thing could be a possibility because the stars are all lined up.   But if that is a dead end we ought to lower our expectations. 

 

[UT1983]

Can our expectations be any lower with Herman? ?

Longhorns Football: Is Urban Meyer on a collision course at Texas?


https://longhornswire.usatoday.com/2020/10/18/texas-longhorns-football-head-coach-tom-herman-urban-meyer/

Obviously, Meyer is a tireless recruiter. But the one thing that he doesn’t get enough credit for is his ability to build a winning culture. And that’s exactly what Texas doesn’t have now.

As discussed on Saturday. A 3-7 season is a very real possibility.
