They pour in the most money of any program, and they haven't had a strong AD to keep a tight hand on the reins since DeLoss Dodds. And in fact, towards the end, DeLoss was probably worn out trying to keep the boosters happy while simultaneously keeping them under control.

    The Rivals top 100 players had 20 from the state of Texas. Think about that, 20 out of the top 100. No other state came close. But did UT get even a single one of those players? NO! That alone did not bode well for the future of Herman and UT. Can't contend for a conference championship much less contend for a national championship with that kind of fall off in recruiting.

    So does Tom Herman go to the Nick Saban Coaching Clinic or does he maybe head up north and take the Boise St job? I'm not familiar with any openings still left at a P5 school, so unless something comes up it would seem that Boise is the most attractive opening.

    • @radhominem
      @radhominem 3 년 전

      @Octavian That idea of taking the money and waiting has certainly become more viable over the last few years with guys taking a year or two off, working in the booth or something similar, and waiting for the destination of their choosing to open up instead of forcing themselves to take whatever is left available.
      Looking ahead a little bit, Virginia Tech may decide to move on from the Justin Fuente experiment if they have a down year. No idea what is going on at Michigan. USC keeps going with this strange on again off again relationship with Clay Helton, they could decide to end that in the next year or two (his contract is up in 2023 if I remember). There is always the chance that somebody tries to make the jump to the NFL too, and opens up that window for Coach Herman. So taking the year, work on his craft and study for a bit without having to worry about the day in and day out details for a little while, and then see what opens might be the better/smarter call to make.

    Possibly the biggest risk Texas could take. Herman wins sugar bowl in 2018 with 2 ranked losses of 4 total that year by a total of 20 points, then he loses to ranked Baylor, Iowa state, Oklahoma, and LSU in 2019 for 4 of 5 losses being against ranked opponents. Mind you playing 2 CFP teams in a year and being within a touchdown both times. Then in 2020 he loses to top 10 OU and top 10 ISU. Has 4 bad losses in 3 years.

Not to mention a lot of these elite recruits could have the possibility of being a first year STARTER compared to having to wait their turn if they went to some of the other elite programs that already have a roster full of 4 and 5 star players. The state of Texas is rich with talent. Plenty enough to go around. The main problem has been other programs outside of the state of Texas coming in and taking those recruits.

    This is a HUGE gamble for Texas and Chris DelConte (Texas AD) better know what he's doing. Sure, Sarkisian has a great offensive mind and has developed great QB's, no doubt about it. He's not from Texas and does not know the "lay of the land" and it's questionable how well he can recruit in-state. Tom Hermann was 8-3 in his last year and two of the losses were in OT. Besides he won every single bowl game as a head coach !
    If Sarkisian goes 8-3 AND wins his first bowl game at Texas, he's where Tom Herman was this year. No progress and it costs Texas over $ 25 Million in a year where the athletic department has laid off 35 people and cut salaries. That is NOT setting well in Austin and besides, it does NOT include what they are going to have to pay Sarkisian and his staff.
    As a die hard Longhorn fan and ex-student, this is, at best, a risky move.

There’s no denying sark has brilliant football mind. There’s no excuse for keeping Herman when you lose the top prospect of a generation and all you had to do was make the conference title game with a loaded roster. Going 4-0 in bowl games mean nothing when you play subpar competition every year (except Georgia) our bowl opponents were nothing to boast about.

      He was a v. good QB until late Oct 2019... one of the top five pre-season 2019 and 2020. He was a 70% career passer at that point (2.5 years in), but upper body injuries then and again this year seem to have shortened his throw. Plus, he has not quickened his obviously slow release. He will be a good coach one day but not a good pro.

    Not sure about this one. IMHO I would have gone after the current head coach at Iowa State, Matt Campbell, who has built that program up from scratch and WON without the mega star recruits flooding into Austin. If you are going to give second chances, isn't Gus Malzahn available? How many times did he beat Saban? Or how about Luke Fickell at Cincinnati? What about current NFL OC's like Joe Brady at the Carolina Panthers by way of LSU. Which reminds me, wasn't it Brady's passing passing scheme at LSU that walked into Austin and ripped "DBU" to shreds?? I could go on but I think you get my point. Not a big Texas fan but football is better when Texas is relevant. I hope Sarc is the answer but only time will tell. He may want to call Mac Brown for some advice. BTW, how is Mac doing at North Carolina these days??

    Joey Galloway isn't educated. Were the 4th most talented roster in the nation and losing to unranked teams every year. Our junior and sophomore classes were both top 3 in the country. Its isn't THAT Herman lost games, its why. Last year was supposed to be our year. Drew Mehringer was a wideout coach who basically stirred mutiny under Herman and wasn't dealt with until the end of the season and was a major reason our offense fell apart in 19. He wiped the slate clean. Started over. The Eyes Of Texas controversy split the team and Tom didn't do his job to lead the team. He let the team be divided. Week 1 Sam Ehlinger stood on the field alone to celebrate the tradition. Week 2 the defensive captain stood with him while the other 6 captains and 51 players went to the locker room. CDC stepped in October on our bye week and said Enough is enough. You should be 1-3 losing to massively undertalented teams including what was an absolute miracle to beat TT who lost to, I'll say louder for the people in the back, HOUSTON BAPTIST the week before. CDC takes control of the situation, Texas comes out and beats Baylor and gets traction and then topples the #6 team in the country and only lose 1 game for the rest of the season. You don't get to make that mistake twice. You run the locker room or get out of the way. Even with some of those wins it was honestly despite bad decisions. Herman was the issue. The talent was there but 6 starters opting out before the Alamo bowl and some of whom have no chance of being drafted tells you all you need to know. That locker room was a cancer and Sam Ehlinger was the real leader and come together point.
