They think Tom Herman will do an overnight turnaround with the Shorthorns.

They think Tom Herman will do an overnight turnaround with the Shorthorns.

I can see it in year 2-3 but in months? Just don't see it, saw a lot of Tx football this past season and didn't see much to be impressed with from a talent standpoint.

Recruiting

Imagine you're a beat reporter. Which choice do you want to defend when wrong, the team with the best talent or the team with the right pieces gor the right coach?

I think Tom Herman would have been smarter if he would have stayed at Houston and waited for the Texas A&M job to open up which could be this December if they only win 7-8 games.

Naw Texas is Herman's dream job.

Naw Texas is Herman's dream job.

I think Tom Herman will be in the long run a disappointment to the Texas Fans. He will wind up a disappointment to them because he will win but not as much as they think he should just like Fred Akers from 1977-1986. Texas and their fans will never find another Darrell Royal.
