Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Let's just talk about it all... again)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
He wont beat OU so thats not a factor.
After hes been allowed to essentially wreck the roster into at least 2024. No one does shit shows like UT.
For your 80th post ever explain how you know this to be 100 percent accurate despite the reporting on multiple sites from guys with decades experience saying otherwise.......
I guess the question is did you see the sooners spank the cowboys this weekend? Case closed. Hopefully it would not come down to a 63-14 blow out back in 2000. Hard to forget.
Luck might be the only way big H wins now since winning is so hard. Even against teams with barely a pulse. Sad that these types of wins including the product on the field actually is considered winning. Recruits are showing what this momentum means.
Please make this 10+ years of suffering stop.

Herman shouldn't have a job at Texas regardless of what happens the rest of the year. Even if he wins the Big 12 in the worst Big 12 season I've ever seen it more than likely is the only title he will ever win.
Recruiting is not going to get better next year.
Next season is going to be ugly
We will just end up sitting here in November of 2021 talking about Herman's job security again...Assuming he doesn't get canned mid-season after getting blasted by OU....AGAIN.

CDC and Herman are not on the same side. CDC does not support Herman. Neither does anyone else at Texas. Hell the other Head Coaches at Texas want him gone and threw him kicking and screaming under the bus when they backed CDC over Herman during the Eyes Debacle.
It is a very toxic work environment which is why Herman needs to be fired.
so Let’s take out his first year because every coach always gets a transition year. Year 2- Sugar Bowl win
Year 3- Underachieved, inexcusable. Made necessary coaching changes
Year 4- On the cusp of a potential 8-2 season and CCG birth
The losing to OU and TCU are absolutely an issue. Keep in mind that OU has been humming as program for several years. It’s going to take us time to catch up. Lincoln was handed the keys to an elite program. Tom took over a program that hadn’t experienced even a winking season in several years. I just think it’s lazy to not acknowledge the fact that Tom has actually taken the right steps to get this program going in the right direction. Maybe the UM rumors have just blinded people to all that.
Tebow was only a spot player that season. Chris Leak was Florida’s QB.

Yep. Even if Herman by some act of Satan won the Big 12 we'll just be sitting here on a Ketch's 10 Thoughts post in November of 2021 talking about Herman's job security. He needs to be fired this year. There is no good justification for prolonging this.
Well, they ain't on good enough terms for his boss to want to go on the record with any reporter.
This team will not beat OU. OU is in a whole different gear.
“By some act of satan we win the Big 12” clearly you are just a troll, right? There is no way you are a Texas fan. Because if you were, you’d likely be rooting for a conference championship and an 8-2 season, but what do I know. Again, pathetic post and it’s unfortunate our student athletes have to deal with this. They are competing their asses of to win that so called “act of satan”
Fan of the program. Herman is not good for the future of the program. Most of us can see it
So, if CDC isn't speaking with reporters, who's leaking out all this info? Those who work with/for CDC? Or, are you saying that CDC is talking to reporters off the record?

In year 2 he lost 4 games including losing to Maryland (AGAIN), losing to an average at best OSU, an average WVU and he got beat on national TV by OU in the Big 12 title game. Oh and let's not forget he was one competent Tulsa kicker away from losing at home to F*ING TULSA and he barely beat Kansas by 7.
And let's talk about his staff changes....Where are the elite recruiters? Where is his Brewster type guy? Yurcich is irrelevant because we all know Turtle Tom is forcing Yurcich to call the offense the way he wants it called. Special teams is crap. The WRs couldn't beat man coverage if you gave them a 5 second head start. The OL is utter shit (Why was Hand retained?) And the TEs are....There....That's about the most you can say. The RB rotation is asinine and Tom is trying to destroy Sam's body by forcing him to take so many hits by running the ball and playing behind a horrible OL.
And that doesn't even begin to touch on his failure as a recruiter and program builder. Why the hell did we not recruit a true Center until year 3? Why have we whiffed on the elite OL talent? How in the bloodiest of bloody blue hells did Herman manage to lose the Brockermeyers whose father and grandfather played for Texas and who have a brother on the damn team right now....And then there is Ewers...Lol Tom has torpedoed this program so badly that it makes the Lusitania look like it just had a minor leak...
We’ll see soon my man. Year 2 included 4 losses don’t forget.
Let‘s back up so you can give us the details on the CDC/Herman relationship that only you know. Since you‘re adamant you can, surely you will.

I want Texas to be elite again. I want us to be in the top 5 every year. I want us to dominate recruiting in this state. I want the Brockermeyer and Ewers recruits in this state to be Texas locks. I want us to beat the ever loving daylights out of OU every year. I want us to be relevant on a national level for more than just being a national punchline. I want people to talk about Texas the way they talk about Clemson, Alabama and Ohio State. Most of all I want to see Texas win national championships. I want to see a 5th title year added to DKR and I KNOW none of that will ever happen with Tom Herman as the coach. He is OUTSTANDINGLY mediocre. All hail Turtlin' Tom....The patron Saint of Mediocrity....
This is where I think the Kansas Covid postponement REALLY hurts Texas. Previously, Texas would have had a bye week prior to the conf championship. For all of his faults, CTH does pretty good when he has extra time to prepare. No such luck anymore.
FWIW - I’m not sure it really matters as I see Tom turtlin’ during one of the next two, but it’s still worth pointing out.
If the Texans had a 1st or 2nd round pick I might agree, however they don't so not really a big deal. I was happy to see the Texans beat Belichick's Patriots.
Then you are good because there is no such thing as The University of Tom Herman.
Ketch, have you ever considered that CDC going on record would just further rile up an on-edge fan base. That’s literally the only reason he does not tweet anything about the football program. He reads the comments, he knows what’s going to be said In those replies. Go back and look for yourself even when he posts his newsletter on Twitter. You can believe me or not, but they meet regularly throughout the week and are on the same page. Everything is being handled internally, as it should. That doesn’t mean Tom gets a free pass if he loses Friday. And sure, Tom did a bit of selling and exaggerating in his response to Anwar’s question last week. It was largely for recruiting purposes. He knows the heat is cranked up. In fact, it has been since the TCU loss. They have had confrontations, as any HC and AD do when the going gets tough. To Tom’s credit he has responded very well. And he’s controlling what he can right now and that’s winning. If CDC came out and spoke on the record, what would it accomplish? Would it help recruiting? Or would it just be better to remain quiet and speak on record after the results of this season? What exactly would you do in this case? Have you seen this board when someone says something remotely positive about CTH? Now picture that but on steroids...
”Literally”? So now you know not only how often they meet, and what is said, but the motives behind CDC‘s tweets?
I don't know either way. But I'm pretty sure that what sources are telling the mods on different sites is what the sources want the mods to report.
Yet, our leader, Chris Del Conte, rewarded him with a raise and contract extension. That's on CDC.
