BMD's gonna pony up the $$$ or Urban after this.

Do it now.  Don’t sit back and let another proven coach get away.  Fire Herman today and make the announcement for UM tomorrow.

Tom Herman is talking about going back to work and try to win the next game. What? Today was the game he should have worked on..screw parody Texas has had top 5 recruiting classes  under his belt and what has that produced? 7-7 record in the last 14 games!!! You can win games or make excuses but you cant do both.

Hermans post game interview on LHN looks like he knows its his last interview. Defeated look on his face.

Meanwhile, where did ISU, TCU, OSU, and even Baylor rank in recruiting? The issue has been with development under both the Strong and Herman eras. Tom has taken elite talent and turned them into a mediocre team. As a result, it seems to be causing highly rated kids to rethink their desire to come to Texas and play for this staff.

LOL! What if Meyer doesn't want to become the Texas coach tomorrow and why should he.

[TexCoyote]

I don’t know who was calling plays because they won’t ever tell you but when we get the ball and needing a couple two or three first down and run for 4, incompletion, incompletion, punt is just crazy. They’re paying Yurcich way over a million per year. It’s either him or Herman but more on Herman because if my millions dollar job was on the line I would overrule some crap calls like that. You could have ran the ball three times and punted and left a little over a minute and Iowa St would have used their time outs. Instead they don’t have to use any time outs and a couple of plays they’re down on our goal line scoring. It’s just not going to work out with Herman. I’d have Urban on the phone tonight and let him come in and maybe save us losing a few recruits 

[DMAC]

meanwhile Mack Brown just went up 14-7 vs #2 Notre Dame

[primal defense]

Texas has the 5th most talented roster as far as recruiting class. Iowa State on the hand has recruiting class of

 

2017 52nd

 

2018 55th

 

2019 46th

 

2918 46th

 

Pitiful

Herman will Always find a way to Screw it up

Beating Iowa St in Austin is a lot to ask of a 4th year Longhorn coach.  

It's really, really, hard.

[tejasrulz]

Sam didn't help taking that sack on the 2nd to last play. Be that said, the Horns shouldn't have been in that position however they were.

[TexCoyote]

You know Herman has been out coached by Lincoln Riley, Patterson, Matt Campbell, and IMO Wells from Texas Tech even though he won that game. Took a miracle to win it. Outcoached at least 4 times. 

[Baron]

The fact that I'm not inconsolably pissed with this loss speaks volumes. CDC needs to make a move this weekend as far as Herman is concerned.

My take on game and Texas.

1 Defense has improved close to championship level.

2 Texas has two excellenr RBS.

3 WRS did a better of catching and fighting for balls.

4 Sam was improved in passingjust not enough.

5 After first quarter play calling was terrible, espically in certain situations.

6Iowa St. is good we will see how good vs OU.

8 Feel sorry for teamespicalySam they deserved better.

[mctmatt]

I am not so confident Texas will fire Herman and that is a depressing thought! The AD needs to feel the fire on his paycheck and Golf Club Membership as Texas has to Hire a Coach who is a proven consistent winner in the College ranks . Hell , I will take Art Briles right now if that was our only option plus he would take the job for $1 million a year I bet!   Longhorns , Cowboys, man this Thanksgiving has really sucked.

Absolutely incorrect. The money is not an issue. 

[mctmatt]

Wow, just think about that  $15 million to just go away .  Sell your house in one of the hottest Real Estate Markets in America would probably just add to that walk away money plus he certainly has a hefty investment account from his short time at Houston .  Just be smart and conservative with the money , live well, but not excessive and check the box for  secure financial future as DONE!

I always said that the best deal in the land is to get one of these jobs and get fired. Walk away with a truckload of money. Crazy world

Exactly right. That “drive” lost the game.

That is vintage Sam. Hold the ball until they sack him when the worst possible thing was a sack. He also overthrew a very open Eagles on that drive. He is who he is and has been for four years.
