Herman will always be an enigma to me. Brilliant offensive mind. He went down to Houston and made them relevant almost immediately. I think we was 12-1 in year one? He was THE name on the coaching carousel 5 years ago. Could recruit, was young, he got blue-chip recruits to come to Houston...IIRC, Ed Oliver was a Top-10 composite recruit. Then he crashes and burns in Austin. Don't know how much of that was him and how much was the culture at UT, but he certainly didn't help himself with his assistant coach choices right away (Tim Beck). Now he's toiling away in relative obscurity as an NFL analyst. There were a lot of Buckeye fans that wanted him to come back to C-bus as the HC one day. From THE hot coaching candidate to that in under five years. Life comes at ya fast.

Herman is more evidence that taking a head coaching job at Texas is career suicide. The only people Texas is going to be able to attract for the near future are delusional coaches that think it will be different this time, or guys looking at Texas as a way to pad their bank account on the way to retirement.

And the most beautiful thing about all of that is that his paycheck isn't impacted by MN being around in Chicago or not... career suicide? Hell, he's crazy like a fox. He beat the system. He can burn out the balance of his freebie payday and then take something that is interesting after he's rehabbed his reputation by being in the NFL. No mensa card needed to see that's the smart play.

You can replace Notre Dame for Texas, and this comment would still be spot on. I almost feel bad for Freeman
