Herman would be a good hire. He didn't fail at Texas really at all.

It wasn't a conference only schedule

Maybe, just maybe, it’s a Texas issue not a Herman issue. His last year, Covid, he went 7-3 in an all Big 12 schedule. Didn’t get to play Kansas who was bad and blew out Colorado in the bowl game. There isn’t a single person we could hire this off-season with a better resume.

No he didn't. It wasn't an all big 12 schedule

What other coach that we could get has this as a resume
- Career Record - 57-25
- National Champion coach, Broyles Award Winner, AAC Coach of the Year
- mentored under the 2nd best coach in the modern era
- 6 Top 10 Scoring Offenses
- 6 Top 10 recruiting classes
- Undefeated in bowl games
- 5-0 in P5 games at Houston
- Ability to put together the best staff we’ve ever had here

I’ll see what the resident hob knobbers, that think Arnett and Brad are the cheese since they get to say they know guys on staff, want to try and argue around that.

You're counting accolades achieved as a coordinator?

If that's the measuring stick, we would never win 6 games. Much less 8. We are the worst recruiter in the west

Lane Kiffin only won 65% of his games at USC and that seems to be working out pretty well now doesn't it?

Seems the concensus is that Mrs Arnett should submit a change of address the end of November before the Christmas Cards start coming

Lane went back down for 6 years before he got another opportunity in a power conference.

Tom Herman gives me Houston Nutt, Dave Aranda and Jimbo vibes. Great for the first year or so with other coaches players but then starts to drop off when he has to recruit his own players and a bad talent evaluator. He declined at Houston after his first year and started declining at Texas after his second year. I want a coach like Chadwell that built a program from the ground up with his own recruits he got. Chadwell is showing this year he can win with other coaches players as well. He should be our main priority if we have to fire Arnett and he is a realistic hire

I'm looking forward to it, kinda. I'm anxious to see if the offense looks different. If the defense is improving.

However I dread it... in that if we lose.... the fan base will need strong meds and a ride to Whitfield for a few months.

I think Chadwell would be my first pick as well. Liberty hasn't missed a beat going from Freeze to him.

More than half of those accomplishments are HC accomplishments. But sure try to poke holes.

My bad. They played 1 game out of conference. Great job finding the random thing that doesn’t really effect what I stated.

It absolutely affects it. 7-3 vs 6-3 is a difference.

I was just trying to determine your defined parameters. Because if we are including accolades achieved as an assistant, I can find a lot of people with spectacular resumes. I mean mullen is a 2 time national champion with top 3 recruiting classes.
