I'm Hearing

[Darrell McPhaul]

I just received an email from Ohio that is saying that Herman will got to Texas for the right price.

 

[Lukus Alderman]

Very nice.

 

[seahawkhorn]

Wonder what the "right price" is

 

[HornEsch]

Let's do it!

 

[J.B. TexasEx]

aggy pays an incompetent DC, Snyder, $700k per year.

I've read that tOSU pays Herman $550k. I'd say it'll have to be $750k - $1M. Why not? If Herman's the guy, let's do it. He'll own the Offense and allow Strong to focus on D.

 

[Davharjac]

PAY THAT MAN! Heard in that system is a wonderful fit, he and Braxton share a similar skill set.

Simply put, you make him the highest paid coordinator in College Football. And then you carry that National Championship trophy with you to the bank next year.

Diaz made 900,000

Why not 1 million for Herman especially when money is no object for assistants, right?

 

[castlebravo1]

"Right Price" is one thing we have no problem executing on.

 

[jmachorns]

the right price? is that an issue? I would think not!!! Just send one of them private jets to go pick him up and tell him he can cash it once he arrives in Austin.

 

[Lord Vader]

Here is a thought. We'll match his OSU salary plus what they'll likely raise (say 750). We then quit paying Diaz and fire one of these six figure "Special Assistant to Toiletries Supervisors" folks and throw a cool million at Herman.

 

[Randolph Duke]

The cost of getting the right guy isn't the issue. The issue is what it would cost to get the wrong guy.

 

[LegendaryHorn]

I like it. My only concern with the QB takes a lot of hits. Miller had 171 rushing attempts. I assume that their scheme/play-calling is heavily influenced by Meyer as well as due to their personnel: Miller is a better runner than thrower(even with the strides he made this year), Hyde is a workhorse and they are still improving their WR group.

I see that Hyde and Miller took the majority of the carries. Next closest guy after them had 81 attempts. Curious to see if we would be more balanced not just in terms of run/pass, but also in terms of spreading the ball around a bit to different backs.

The idea of Yurich coming and bringing that Gundy O would be my #1 choice.

 

[UTK66]

I'm getting more and more on the Herman to Texas bandwagon. Had to read up on him to make sure it wasn't Urban's doing's on the offense at OSU.

He's got a pretty impressive resume.

 

[hornfanaustin]

Get it done!!! This is the right hire for the development of the spread offense at Texas and will be exciting to sell to recruits.

 

[UTPhil2006]

Hand him a blank check and lets get this done.

 

[LongviewLobo01]

Nussmeier just got paid around $1.2 mil. I'd give Herman $1 mil a year and tell him to come make magic happen.

FYI, beingreal just posted this on Twitter:

Sources: Strong's OC choice (Watson) is a "hard sell" to UT, but says, "he's my guy." Deal not "quite" done yet

 

[Marlabob]

Pay him the money and go get him before someone else does! Sounds like a good hire --- UM knows his stuff so sure he is good!
