Urban Meyer firing shots at Herman
- Thread starter LongfellowDrew
- Start date
I tend to agree. I think Michigan and Penn State are better. Maybe Wisconsin to.
That was a interim coach that went 6-7 that was not ready to be a HC btw. The previous 6 years Ohio State was in a BCS game every year, having played for the natty 2 times. Their record was 66-11.
Yep...Urban took over a trainwreck.
Yep. Like I said what Urban took over would be simliar to Mack retiring after the USC game and the new guy taking over from there
Gotta love Herman's wife!
"I don't have time to worry about comments made by somebody else about their program," Herman said. "I'm worried about our program and winning a game. Anybody that's been around me and our staff for the last 10 months knows we've never disparaged the previous staff or our current players."
Of course, while Tom Herman may not have been willing to comment specifically, his wife, Michelle Herman, sent out a tweet on Thursday night that seemed to be aimed at Urban Meyer.
Maybe some people just can't properly interpret figurative language ♀️ #notmensa #notaninsult #notblaming

Now, what was the actual quote that caused this kerfuffle?
"If we all thought that we were going to come in here and in nine months sprinkle some fairy dust on this team and think that we've arrived then we're wrong," is what Herman said during Saturday's postgame press conference.
And you know what? I completely agree with the Herman family here. I don't think anything Herman said was disparaging of his players. Herman took over a Texas team that finished 5-7 last year, and while it is a team with plenty of talent, a 5-7 team is still a 5-7 team. You can't just turn a 5-7 team into a title contender without putting in a lot of work, and that's what Herman was implying in his quote.
Both the coaching staff and the players have work to do if they want to get to where they want to go.
Meyer's a great coach, but he was out of line this time.

Hmmm.... John Mackovic left after a disastrous 4-7 season and Mack Brown turned it around to 9-3 the next season. Yeah, he had Ricky and the cupboard wasn't bare but he manage to do it. Wonder what pixie dust he used.
Mack Brown was a good coach. He got old, complacent, and became clueless so he was replaced. It actually takes a good coach to consistently win, go figure. All those years of this fan base thinking a trained monkey could win 10 games a year. Hell even in his dementia days he managed to still post winning seasons.
