  • Tom Herman Fired as UT Football Coach


    texifornia
    Almost as unceremonious as his past 2 victories to finish off the season, Tom "the turtle" Herman has been removed as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns. 
     
    We don't really wish you anything, but to get the hell out of here Tom.

    Maybe CDC should also fire Shaka and replace him with Larry Eustachy. All part of the master plan so we can be “that school”. We need an identity anyways. 

    Why not?  I say go for it.  Like when Hulk Hogan went to the NWO.  Could be good for Texas, at least for a while.  Ya never know.

    I would rather listen to Beth Mowins over Brando and Tillman 10 times out of 10. 

    I remember this season when he was nearly weeping in the booth when we beat Tech.

    So you’re not hearing there’s any chance he keeps Ash? On the bright side, he did a good job of hiring Wilcox as DC when he went to USC. That guy knows how to coach a defense. 

    He might. We'll see. His success is going to be 100% dependent on the staff. Hopefully he'll listen to people who know the state of Texas.

    so much bitchassness in this thread.. y'all wanted herman out at all costs, now are complaining about Sark coming here... So much so, some of y'all think Tom should have been kept.. and if that happened, y'all would be the same ones bitching, crying all spring and summer about recruiting.  Then comes the fall and we lose WVU and y'all want to burn it all to the ground anyway.. cementing two back to back transition classes.  Wake the fuck up and let's roll!

    I wasn't complaining about Hermann.  He needed one more year to show he could do it.  Or for Urban Meyer to want to come.  Not for some drunk mediocre OC to replace him.

    I remember people like you being so happy Akers was gone--for McWilliams.  It took us 15 years to recover from that mistake.  And so happy Mack was replaced by Strong.  Guess what?  Mack is in a NY6 game with a basketball school.  And we are on our 3rd coach.

    For fuck's sake, Sark's Head Coaching record is 46-35.  That's a fucking terrible resume for a stress-filled, top job like Texas.  Add to that, his very questionable past, there is nothing to like about hiring Sark.  Who cares what he did as OC at Bama?  We're aren't hiring that position yet.  The best indicator of future performance is past performance, and Sark's past performance has been horrible.  That said, this move is right in line with how Texas handles these things.  Got lucky with DKR and Mack and have struck out with every other hire in the modern era.  Why should this one be any different?  If true, I hate this hire.

    Herman needed one more year?? 

    After this year?

    And Mack absolutely needed to be fired.

    WTF

    Don’t know what to think about the Sark hire....

    But seriously what does Sarks issue with booze (assuming he’s somehow restrained those demons) have to do with him being the new HC?  I think we’ve all seen a few individuals up close who have turned away from drugs, excessive alcohol use, and other addictions and have done well for themselves and those they influence.

    Maybe Sark is the My Pillow Guy!

    It's a tired bit when it's done just for the sake of making the thread. Especially seconds after the new hire is announced. But we should be able to have them when it is actually time to be looking elsewhere, which seems to be often around here the past decade.

    Texas is never going to be happy with shitty coaching decisions, shitty personnel rotations and stank ass attitude. No respectable school should be. Why is that so hard for these 'experts' to understand? We're not mad because TH doesn't have 4 straight conference titles(or National titles). We're mad because he didn't put in the work necessary to compete for those things. Fuck, it's not rocket science.

    The same people that retweet “TEXAS IS BACK” memes after every loss are the ones who are most concerned about how we treat our head coach. Spoiler alert: they don’t really think those things, they just want to troll Texas fans.

    Hopefully the kids like him. Plus he's seen Bijan and knows the way. Look at what he did with Najee Harris. I don't know how he'll be as a HC, but he sure as fuck won't let Bijan sit the bench 

    Does Sark bring over Bama's hurdling coach?

    the thread is fair game the first time Sark does anything that warrants a "fire sark" thread - that's all.

    I had never paid any attention to Brando until he so clearly rooted for Tech that he had to announce he wasn’t rooting for them in that game. Now seeing all his tweets, the dude’s a total piece of shit and shouldn’t be allowed to announce our games. What a loser.

    Sounds like what you're looking for is a Fire del Conte, Fire Hartzell, Fire Eltife thread, then. He's right that it doesn't make sense and it's a stupid thing that the board shouldn't do anymore.

    I once had the chance to knock Brando on his ass.  He used to work for the same media company that I do, and he wanted to use our facilities for an interview or something.  He was a real piece of shit.  Fuck that guy.

    That’d kick ass. Get our own Venables while hiring what we thought Herman was gonna be. Would Muschamp bring in Gideon as db coach? Cause that’d be fucking hilarious

    and you want to keep Herman who has razzle dazzle'd you with an Alamo Bowl win (again) thinking he finally gets it right?  The risk just wasn't worth it anymore.  Recruiting for 22 is looking to be worse than in 21 with him still manning the team.  And fuck Mack.. he had to get away for a few years to understand that he needed to change..he wasn't going to see the light if he had stayed another 10 years here..

    It’s not an opinion. It’s a parody of an opinion. You can say it’s it within threads. Doesn’t need to be a thread. @immamac

    Well so far I’m liking all the names you’ve been throwing out as possible position coaches. Hopefully he really does put together this kind of a coaching staff.

    • I was bored and went through the coaching staffs for each of the remaining playoff teams.  Listed below are the coaches who seemed like possibilities to me (but I'm an idiot).  They all have some college coaching experience and in the case of one an extensive HS coaching background.  A couple of entries have pretty light resumes but have long NFL careers.

      Houston Texans:
      Jacques Cesaire DL coach - 5 years at Univ of San Diego as DL coach, 9 years as DE for San Diego Chargers
      Rod Wright Asst DL Coach

      Green Bay Packers:
      Jerry Montgomery DL coach -11 years in college at OU, Michigan, Wyoming.  Last 9 years in NFL


      Detroit Lions:
      John Scott Jr. DL Coach - First year in Detroit.  Previously coached at Penn St., South Carolina, and Arkansas
      Wayne Blair QC - Long time Florida HS head coach, spent last two years coaching DLine in Detroit.  Played at Tulane and CFL

      Buffalo Bills:
      Marcus West Asst D-Line - Prior to joining Bills in 2022 spent 14 years as college D-Line coach (Charlotte, Minn, Austin Peay)

      San Francisco 49ers:
      Darryl Tapp Asst D-Line - 12 year NFL veteran.  Coached D-Line at V-Tech for 2 seasons.  Joined 49ers in 2022.

    • I'm not doing well about it, at all. 

      That's because we had our championship window of opportunity, which is now closed. 

      Why? Because now we face another, more potent opponent. The Fightin' Aggies of Texas A&M University. 
      They have THE best traditions in all of college. Plus, they've already surpassed us in baseball and basketball. Don't believe me? Consider this recent post from TexasAgs: "We've already surpassed them in baseball and basketball." 


      What's more, they demonstrated an unquenchable commitment to success when they paid a coach $78 MILLION to leave. That's right. $78 million to a coach they had presented a future national championship trophy to stop coaching, and they did it mid-season without a replacement locked-in. While it seems like this is poor financial management by their athletic department, it shows a spirit of winning we could only dream about. 


      Now, they've brought in a coach who gets them. That's right. He EMBRACES their traditions. And he has a great nickname, The Elk, which pairs with The Station quite nicely. We don't even have an amazing nickname for our city. 

      +

      Finally, when you compare the two football programs, A&M comes out ahead. As many of their posters continually point out, they faced a much better Alabama team than we did AND ALMOST WON. Plus, they paid tribute to their near-win against the second-best team in the Big 12.  

      Now that they've moved on from many of their players from the best recruiting class of all time, and have had multiple highly ranked recruits opt out, they are ready to win even more championships with hardworking farm boys from small towns. 


      Thanks for indulging my meltdown. I'm skeered real good.
