    For sure. His numbers are at Florida are much better than Herman's at texas. I'm not saying Herman couldn't win here, but ******* resume is better.

    I hate agreeing with KB21, but Herman would be a perfect fit.

    First, he has won big games on a big damn stage. Second, he has a strong personality that we need. He talks shit to the other team, coaches, and fans. That is a good thing for MSU. We can't hire a Jomo or CZA that are bland and basically get zero media attention. He would put eyeballs on MSU, which is what we need in this NIL era.

    We can't be bland. He isn't bland.

    Also, if you take a close look at his record at Texas, it wasn't bad.

    You don't like being correct?

    The mere fact that you won't admit that last year's defense carried us to 9 wins, tells me all I need to know about you being correct.

    Hmm. The negligence case against Art Briles has been dismissed. A federal judge ruled that there was no evidence he knew of any wrongdoing.

    Hire Jeff Lebby and bring on Art as a senior offensive consultant.

    That was just the one case vs the woman who lied in her deposition. Baylor settle the 15 other lawsuits in Sept because they did NOT want them going to trial.

    If you think briles did nothing wrong, just wow. Now, Lebby shouldn't be held back because of his relationship to him. And ain't no way we are bringing briles in, in any fashion. Just a joke.

    Why not just hire Briles then if he is clear?

    Just as a reminder, these are Tom Herman's records:

    HOUSTON
    2015: 13-1 (#8)
    2016: 9-3

    TEXAS
    2017: 7-6 (3 straight losing seasons before he got there)
    2018: 10-4 (#9)
    2019: 8-5 (#25)
    2020: 7-3 (#19)

    FLORDIA ALANTIC
    2023: so far 3-3, with 2 losses to P5 teams. Also taking over a team with 2 straight losing seasons.

    There's not going to be a more proven head coach out there that we could hire. That doesn't necessarily mean he's the #1 best choice for us, but he'd be a very solid hire. The fact that Texas fired him after 3 straight ranked finishes is not a reason for us not to hire him.

    Even in the 3-loss season that got him fired, he had a 3-point loss to the team that finished #9, a 4OT loss to the team that finished #6, and an OT loss to a team that finished unranked but with a winning record.

    I haven't felt this low about Bulldog football since the 74 - 0 drubbing at Houston in 1969.

    You missed a lot of years that sucked way worse than this one.

    Also as far as this season he has his team in a tie for first place in their division in the AAC despite it being year one and a 3-3 record. I wouldn't be surprised if they make a run here the last six games of the season.

    Herman or Lebby would be great hires if they are allowed to hire a complete staff totally void of interference.
