I mean you guys let me know how this would make sense from Herman's perspective.
You're two days away from getting a call from Texas, allegedly your dream school, who can pay you as much as anyone in the country to take over an already immensely talented team. Knowing that, you agree in principle to coach another school without creating an opportunity for a bidding war between multiple schools? There is no logic there. Either this is premature reporting or our administration has given Herman an indication that we wouldn't hire him. You let me know which of those sounds more plausible.
