He coaches at South Florida not UCF. And they don't play anybody either.
Yeah it shouldn’t take 5 years to get to 10 wins. They have a pretty decent shot at 7. If you write off the Maryland game as a first game blunder and say they’d win it now you basically have an 8 win roster. You’d need 4 more years to turn 2 of those close losses in to wins? Probably not.
First year tells you more about the guy who just left. Herman will be good by year 3, or he won't be good. I would say better chances than not that he is good. Nobody knows for sure, including Herman.
Herman is the right coach. I am being serious when I say next year we will be top 10. This years expections for a 10 win season is too ambitious except for irrational orangebloods. I won't piss on our team if we don't make it next year but, just my opinion.
Sorry Ryan, but I truly believe that it is Herman's standards that makes Orlando better. Not the other way around. Orlando is good and wish him well where ever he goes, but, the standard is set by Herman and he is the golden goose.
We will see... the great coaches have a knack for finding great assistants or even making assistants great. Hopefully Herman is one of those guys.
Fair enough. It took me 2 1/2 season to know CS wasn't going to work. In fact, it was the 3 blocked extra points in the okie lite game when I threw in the towel on Strong.
If that’s what caused you to throw in the towel on Strong not sure how you can be sold on Herman. Our kicking game is still a disaster. Yeah we haven’t had extra points blocked but we haven’t been scoring many touchdowns either.
Anyone saying herman is a great coach I think is making a premature statement since he’s only been a head coach for 2.5 years. At Houston herman showed a lot of attributes of a great coach. He won right away, he was organized. His team played very good fundamentals and he recruited well. He hired a good staff on a limited budget there. He won big games with less talent.
Yeah Herman did win right away, but it is worth noting that he inherited a program that was coming off back to back 8-5 seasons and 3 years removed from a 13-1 season. So it wasn’t exactly a program down in the dumps. Most decent coaches probably could of come in and at least had moderate success. That’s why I’m reserved on Herman. I don’t think we really know whst he is as a coach at all.
Right. That’s why I was against the Herman hire. He beat OU and Louisville great that shows you can get your players up for the big games. But he lose to a UConn in year 1 and then Navy and Memphis year 2. So to me it’s a mixed resume. Sure he won games against more talented teams,but he lost sevreal games where he was the more talented team.
Many may crap on Strong, but he did something right to get where he got. Things aren’t just handed to you at that level. Texas was just too big of a stage for him. To me, there is no question about that now. He may be ready again in a few years for a blue blood program, but I personally would stay away.
3 things I'm sure about. Death, taxes, and Scholz is not a Sumlin fan. Don't get this comment, is it an inside joke?
I didn't get the comment either.Au contraire. I like watching the SS Rumlin putt around. Hope he stays where he is. I just didn't understand the comment.
