I'd look at the Maryland spot if they offered. Fertile recruiting base that they just can't attack and I think he could, at least much better than previous coaches. And then also their incoming QB is I highly touted guy even osu was interested in. And even though I think their jerseys are [Mark May], high schoolers don't. Oregon lite.

Do not want him in the B1G unless he replaces Urban down the road.

If I were Herman I'd hold out for an ACC or Pac 12 power with good facilities and fan support. Maybe Texas or Oklahoma if Stoops were to be gone. If Corn had been smart they should have made a run at Herman last year, but hindsight is 20/20. I'd rather Herman stay out of the B1G to increase the chance that he could take over for Meyer in the future. I'm sure that's a pipe dream since he'll be someplace with an impossible buyout by that point.

Don't know much about this cat.
Not a bad résumé.

Texas ties for sure.

It's got to the point where I'm no longer certain what's sarcasm and what's not...

"Yeah but Mack left the cupboard bare. Texas simply doesn't have the talent to score points against the Iowa States of the world."

Mack Brown = this decade's Ty Willingham?

VT would be a perfect fit for Herman

I could see that. Never really have a problem bringing in talent. Already have a good defense so he could hold onto some of the staff. Seem to have good fan support. Play in the ACC, which is an easier shot at the playoff than a lesser SEC or B1G school. Not too big to look at a guy with 1 year of HC experience.

There seems to me to be 3 programs available now or could be available soon where TH could have a legit shot at winning a national championship. USC is open now. Texas and Georgia could be open soon. One could argue that Miami and/or USCe has that potential as well but in the case of Miami in particular there are pretty big structural issues that need fixing first. Others w/ vacancies that are NC caliber.........perhaps Maryland although I sort of doubt it. And by NC caliber with the Terps I mean a good recruiting base and the power of Nike East.

I've said for years that I can't believe Georgia has stuck with Richt. With the talent in that state there is no excuse for not playing for a NC every 10 years at least. If that school wants to win a NC then they really need to move on, Richt isn't getting it done and there isn't any excuse.

If I am TH I would hold out for a school that gives me a legit chance at NC caliber teams. He seems like a NC caliber coach so why accept less than that potential from a school? In just his first year he is already walking tall at UH, has them undefeated and in the top 25. Why move in to a mid tear P5 school and start all over unless you can invest yourself long term and win a NC? I'd like to see him hold out for a top tier school, there isn't any reason to be in a hurry.

Herman at UGA would be something to see.... He could have a Meyer/Saban type of run there.

All of Herman's experience & personal ties have been in California, Texas & Ohio.

If he ends up someplace outside of those three states he would be best served at a program that still relies heavily on one or more of them.

Nebraska would be wise to keep on eye on him.
