The navy coach is probably the most underrated coach in the country. Probably doest fit everywhere though.
As far as Herrman goes. It concerns me that everyone has been so stuck on Herrman that there is no bacjkup plan. I'd just rather keep Strong because thus could be a huge mess. If Herrman does have a Sark type issue that's an issue. Maybe not a deal breaker but it's concerning no doubt. To me I think he needs another year at Houston.

Not a rumor.
He likes to have fun. Not "out of control" fun..... not "stumblin sumlin" fun....... he just likes to have fun.
If anything Texas will,put something in the contract to protect itself. Not gonna be the reason Herrman isn't the coach here.
If I was Baylor, I would go after Mike Singletary. No nonsense, brings integrity, good coach, favorite son, and great for PR/damage control. Wasn't he in the running a few years ago?
What a crock of shit! There will never be another DKR or anyone close to it, what a source...LOL!
I with Big Earl's comments about Strong!
Hook'em
Nothing against Herrman. If he likes to go out and have a good time that's great and he's perfectly able to do that. I'll just point out that I doubt the Saban, Meyer, and Harbaugh of the world aren't out partying much. So he probably needs to decide if he wants to be a great coach or keep having fun. Probably can't do both.
I imagine if it was just simple drinking it wouldn't of come up. Assuming that's what the issue is. No one really cares about social drinking today.
Would be a great hire for Baylor. Every HS coach in the state knows CM and really likes the guy. And he can absolutely coach.
With OB reporting it there is a good chance it's a completely made up issue regardless.
FYI- From TFB link below
We’ve had a number of folks ask us about a report from Rivals (Orangebloods) regarding a possible “red flag” as it relates to Herman and how this may become a sticking point for a potential hire.
For Texas fans in the Tom Herman camp this may feel like an attempt to justify retaining coach Strong. For some this may simply feel like ineptitude by the administration. And for those who are rooting for Strong to receive another year, it may feel like nothing at all. I spoke to a trusted source with knowledge of the situation and few things stood out.
Firstly, to respond to the specific questions we’ve been asked with regards to the “red flag”. I obviously can’t know for certain what the particular “red flag” was that was referred to in the report. I was told of a possible “red flag” by my source which I’m not going to mention (it’s already circulating on the message boards anyway) but I will say I don’t think it’s a deal breaker and it’s not particularly uncommon. I was told that Herman had an incident early on at Houston related to said “red flag” but the source wouldn’t divulge the specifics of the incident.
What I found very interesting is the source also told me that the LSU job is likely no longer an option. In fact the source went so far as to say that they believe Herman has already been informed that he is not a candidate for the job. IF true, then I have to imagine the Texas administration is aware of this. USC is going to retain Helton, I suspect Sumlin is safe at TAMU and if the LSU job is indeed off the table for Herman, then the Texas administration may simply know something others don’t…which is, IF Texas decides to part ways with Charlie Strong and go after Herman…they have negotiating leverage. The options that once looked like they were available to Herman (giving him ample leverage) simply don’t appear to be available anymore. I should also note that I recently discovered the Baylor staff is already being assembled behind the scenes which would indicate they’ve, at least informally, made their hire.
I was also told that even if Texas were to hire Herman, there is no guarantee defensive coordinator, Todd Orlando would follow. Orlando is an excellent defensive coordinator who is, in my estimation, part of the allure of Tom Herman. But I was told Orlando may have other plans.
One final note, I spoke to a long time friend who is a division one coach and asked for his thoughts on how he sees this Texas team’s prospect for success next year. He said, “they’ll win ten games no matter who the coach is there. You and I could take over that job and win ten games next year”. That’s just one persons opinion but it’s a person who doesn’t have a dog in the fight and is a person with an extensive football background who at least believes coach Strong has built a foundation for future success.
I say all of the above to say this. Relax. The Texas administration knows a lot more than any of us do. If they choose to retain Strong then I suspect you’ll see the final tweaks needed to take this team where it needs to be next year. And if they choose to go the Herman route, I’m sure they have information and are savvy enough to ensure they broker a good deal.

If Orlando doesn't come with Herrman I'd like to see Texas go pry fickell from Ohio state or the LSU. DC
Strong won't be staying if Texas loses to Kansas or gets blown out by TCU. This isn't over yet...
Like I said.....nothing is set in stone and contradicts what you are hearing from BMD
Texas getting "extreme pressure" from boosters to hire Herman:

I've seen enough of Strong and I'm ready for Herman. I pray that whatever has to happen, to make that happen, does in fact happen.
One of the reason I wanted to keep Strong is we had a chance for a very nice class with Barron Browning and Wilson and Little. Now all those guys are trending to other schools. If this is the case then I want change now. With so many top guys leaving state, we need a change now.
I knew if Herrman won the Louisville game the pressure would be up to get him. They probably should just go do it. If we don't that's all anyone will be talking about for another year.
I think we're gonna win next year regardless who the coach is. In large part because the conference will be down.
That will be easy to say if Strong leaves, and Herman comes in winning. Unfortunately, all we have to go on is Strong's record and not gut feelings.
When Texas depends on other teams to suck to win it becomes aggy.
When Texas and OU are good, the Big 12 is good. We need to get a good coach and start winning again.
The SEC needs Alabama and LSU to be good. The Big 10 needs Ohio State and Michigan to be good. The PAC needs USC and insert team to be good. The ACC needs Florida State and insert team to be good. 2 good teams elevates the conference play and brings conference respect.
Except it's not hindsight. A lot of people have said that over the last few weeks. There are 5 games on the schedule that should be near automatic wins next year. Maryland, San Jose State, KU, Iowa state, Baylor.
2 others we should win but aren't locks
K State
Tech
So left you have
USC
OU
OSU
TCU
West Virginia
It would be hard not to get 8 wins at least out of that schedule with basically the entire team back.
Have you been watching the last few seasons? Cal twice, Iowa St, BYU, Tech, K St, were all games we were "supposed" to win. Strong can find creative ways to lose to damn near anybody.
