I think somewhere along the line Herman started believing his press clippings, that he was a savant of a coach, that he knew how to push all the right buttons. Many of his press conferences that I've seen are full of pithy quotes that sound intelligent but really are excuses for failure. They made me not like him because it looked like he was not taking responsibility coupled with the attitude that "I'm the one guy who knows how ti fix it." Arrogance coupled with ineptitude. Not a good look.
Man, if you are going to be mediocre at something, you at least need to be likable. It will buy you some time. He's not likable. Adios, señor.

After making 35 million + from UT, he could probably buy that school.

Does Texas really need to sign up coaches to 5 year, 6 million dollar a year deals to come here? Then extend them after two winning seasons? Nice work if you can get it, while the rest of the world works to the next paycheck.

Would be nice to have NFL style contracts, with little guaranteed money, and the rest just the contracted rate if the employer wishes to exercise it.

Apparently it’s a Texas thing because Texas has a lot of money. They hired that women’s basketball coach for a million a year which was a lot more than she was making because it’s Texas and the job pays a million a year.
 
Anyone want to change their vote?
Unfortunately this season went about as well as I thought it would with him as CEO.

Tom Herman is not a fraud! We hired what we wanted him to be rather than what he really is, a mediocre coach with low expectations. I am not alone in buying the hype of his attorney.

That said, he now has about as much support as a cockroach in a four star restaurant. The program is now at a lower point than anytime in Strong's reign. I'm having trouble finding people that want to renew next year. Herman should take his $6.5 million up the hill to get a certain Harvard educated professor to tell him how to spend it, since Herman seems hellbent on kissing the guy's *** every day.

Sabre, how is the program at a lower point than when we were losing more than we lost in Charlie's three years? Lower expectations? Isn't that on us?
 
Zucker,

I should have said lower expectations, but higher (if not better) excuses.

Herman had some legitimate excuses for the collapse in the Third Ward, like losing his QB, then losing their path to a possible major bowl. The latter should have been a neon sign that no one (including me) wanted to recognize. Herman had lost his team. He couldn't rally them against teams that were the equivalent of a bad 3A HS team.

Like the stupid, trash-mouthed chick with huge upper body regions, and no morals. Sooner or later you have to talk to her. We just never wanted to think about that.

Fraud? No.

Good enough to get me to think we'll be a title contender in the future if he can't do it this year when nearly everything was going our way? Also no.
