Herman presser at 11am today (Jan 5)

[Juan]

I think its on LHN

 

[Juan]

It is on LHN

 

[Juan]

Herman sits, does not stand

 

[Juan]

 

[Juan]

Stan Drayton looking to be college head coach

Herman with strong endorsement of this

 

[Juan]

 

[Juan]

 

[Juan]

Offense will run pro schemes

Up tempo, no huddle

He calls it a "Pro Spread"

Using 'pro concepts in both running and passing games'

"From the shotgun" with a QB-run element

Philosophically on the run game, we want to be a downhill running, A-B gap, inside zone and power run team

He says Beck knows it well

Their relationship will be like he had with Major at UH.

Herman will be "very involved" with game planing week-to-week and personnel decisions and practice, but on game day he is the head coach

Beck will make the offensive play calls, with some suggestion from Herman (coming during a series or b/w series) But he says the head coach has too much else to do on game day to make every single play call 

He will not coach any position, will coach the coaches instead

 

[Juan]

Herman: "Football isn't rocket surgery!"

 

[Juan]

Herman has not watched a bit of our film and wont

(some of the assistants have)

There are no starters as of today

It is a meritocracy

Players have to prove it

 

[Juan]

He has been told "yes" to every request of Admin

 

[Juan]

This presser is a lot different than the pressers of the previous coach

Our new coach has a somewhat refreshing personality

He is clever, you can tell

And has strong principles that he believes in

 

[Juan]

He will be increasing the infrastructure to be on the level with the big boys (Bama, FSU, Clemson, tOSU and so forth).  Despite the huge facade, behind the scenes, UT Football has been a small-time operation at the support staff level

This will change.  He says he had admin support for everything he wants to do

"If Alabama has it, Clemson has it, Ohio State, Michigan have it, we're going to have it."

 

[Juan]

on Shane Buechele: "For our offense to work, you don't have to be Braxton Miller or Michael Vick."

 

[Juan]

The S&C coach is the "culture coach."

Herman says he wouldn't have taken Houston job if Yancy McKnight wasn't willing to come with him.

"He's my soul mate"

 

[dillohorn]

I like what I saw.

 

[Randolph Duke]

He will be increasing the infrastructure to be on the level with the big boys (Bama, FSU, Clemson, tOSU and so forth).  Despite the huge facade, behind the scenes, UT Football has been a small-time operation at the support staff level

This will change.  He says he had admin support for everything he wants to do

"If Alabama has it, Clemson has it, Ohio State, Michigan have it, we're going to have it."

The staff-to-athlete ratio inside Bellmont is close to 1:1. Also, UT athletics blows through tens of millions in "unallocated expenses" every year, with overall spending being the highest in all of college sports year after year.

Is Perrin going to start to rein in the bloat and waste that exemplifies UT athletics, or will there just be even more wasteful mis-management, with the excuse being "UT football has been a small-time operation"?

 

[North Texas Golfer]

I don't see how anyone can watch Herman speak and not realize that Herman gets it.

Where can one find the details behind the staff-to-athlete ratio and the tens of millions in "unallocated expenses"?
