Supposedly Herman is a good coach. The problem aggys have is their last hire of a good coach from UH is looking shaky right now. Would they try that again? Amazing that someone could be in a worse sh*tshow than we have been in. Strangely, I think we are gonna be in great shape now
Kinda like Andy Dufrane....crawled through unimaginable filth to come out clean on the other side...

I believe UH is going to do whatever it takes to keep Coach Herman happy where he is. They have already opened his contract up once ( without being asked) to fend off offers. I'd just bet you they'd do it again now that his team, first year ( while experiencing QB problems themselves) went 12/1 and
totally spanked Florida State yesterday on national tv.
UH is trying to take itself to the next level under the leadership of its President Dr Renu Khator
, and
its grad donors. If I were Coach Herman, I think I would be thinking I might have the chance to be THE Darrell Royal of University of Houston, and stay and make UH bigger than it ever was - if the money says close. The donors want to make UH into THE University of Houston, like Texas is THE University of Texas - Much like Coach Mack Brown's story of Coach Royal visiting him at where ever Coach Brown was coaching at the time and telling him, "Boy you need to get yourself to some place that calls itself THE as its first name..."
I'm not sure hiring Coach Herman away is in anybody's ability as he looked like he was well moved by the game results last night.
Our new OC and his O Line Coach look much like the same types as Coach Herman, and I do like the fact that I think the initial hold up was he wanted to bring his O Line Coach with him to install his Offence rather than argue with an incumbent. He means business. And I think Coach Strong and Texas mean business to hire BOTH.
