I believe it's focusness.
He-Man's had 4 years, and has delivered squat. Trophy case is bare assed empty. Picked by most to win the conference - will finish 3rd, with a 4 year QB starter.
Herman's such a predictable coach, my spreadsheet based prediction of the season was spot on:

No reason to think, with a new QB, and the best players on the defense and offense leaving, that he's going to break out of the lose to OU, lose to either TCU or OSU, lose 1 more, pattern that he's been in for all 4 years. 3 losses in a 9 game conference season pretty much relegates you to watching the B12 game on TV instead of participating.
