While Herman recruited Ehlinger at Houston, he did retain him at UT. Perhaps you should pay more attention to the QB room and our QB recruits. By the way, one of them holds a few OK High School QB records. If you are implying that Ehlinger is not elite, you have missed the last 4 Texas-OU games for sure and are also unaware of the B12 statistical record books last year and to date this year.
So far for OU, they had 4 Heisman winning QBs and no NC with any of them. Only Bradford has even played in an NC game that I remember. So a good elite QB may be necessary to win an NC, but it is not sufficient in and of itself. See the next response.
Herman coached a 3rd string QB who did not play the whole season until he started in the playoffs to a NC over Alabama.
Now you were saying .....? Oh right, a good QB is necessary. Checked 5 times next Spring for Texas.

First off Sam isn’t elite , every nfl scout on the planet will confirm that for you in the spring 2021.
I love the guy , seems like a great person .... but he’s a poor mans Tim Tebow ...if that means much .
Second , I never said elite qbs alone could win national championships.
No fan base in the country knows that more than a ou fan.
Those qbs that you down played so much because of their shortcomings with a NC would have walked away with two in a row if they had an elite defense as well .
Bama, Clemson , OSU are always going to have great defenses .
Now they have put elite playmakers at an and the qb position combined with a pass happy offense .
That OSU team with Herman wouldnt make it out of the first round today .
In closing O have no doubt your current rb, or an ou legacy who didn’t get an offer will run Herman offense to a tee .
Just like Sam does .
Not one of them could get on the field at Oklahoma , none of them even had an ou offer .
Thays my whole point and you made it for me . Herman doesn’t recruit elite qbs , he recruits solid athletes and puts them at qb.
They can’t make all the throws , but they aren’t asked to .
Just like Smart , or Urban .
Different philosophies .
Problem is the current top 5 teams in college football have the exact opposite theory ..... them being top 5 isn’t by coincidence .
Times have changed , in just a short time .
