If he stays it's because they are throwing insane money at him to get them to the Big 12 or he's waiting for Texas. Georgia is a good enough gig that they should be able to pull a guy like Herman if they are going after him, but it would be easier to do well at Texas.

Nothing signed yet. I can't imagine we'd pay him $3mm though.
He's a Texas guy, I wonder if he's going to stay in the Lone star state and maybe get hired by UT if Strong is gone in a year or two.

Eye to the future, honoring the past
Or maybe he actually wants to prove he's a hell of a coach with his own players, instead of almost going undefeated with a team full of guys that were 8-4 last year?

Houston probably needed a rivalry trophy to get them pumped up for that game.

Veni. Vidi. Vici.
This would surprise me (in a very bad way, if I were a Georgia fan). Georgia was paying the guy they just canned north of $3 million a year, and that was good for only 7th in the SEC. You're trying to say they wouldn't even give "7th in the SEC"-type money to arguably the best young coaching prospect in the country? If that's the case, they should've just kept Richt.
If you want a seat at the big boy table, you can't be cheap.

Yes. For two reasons.
1). Because of what we can offer that Houston can't.
If he considers the opportunity at Georgia, (if we even offer and I think we will), he does so with the understanding that our facilities and resources are a significant improvement. Also, It's highly likely we have more money to fund a bigger staff for him (and increased S&C staff) and that matters too!
One thing he needs to consider if he would like to stay another few years at UH, he's going to start losing assistants very quickly if he continues to succeed. That's a common practice anywhere, but do the Cougs have the financial gravitas to make big counter offers to retain assistants or go out and pluck exactly who he wants.
Now certainly, you won't always get a "yes" answer when building a staff. But you don't want to have your hands tied financially either.
2). Because contracts can be renegotiated and increased at the drop of a hat.
If he takes a P5 job and starts winning the league and or qualifies for the CFP in 2-3 years, he's going to get a big time raise! Just like this year.
If he takes the job, he's doing so because it can be something more than the UH position.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Also, Herman (even though he was the OC) spent (almost) the entire month of August 2014 helping to work on it too. I'm sure Herman (and his team) was well prepared to defend Navy's triple option going into the Navy game.
