Agreed. I just hope Tom isn't walking into a death trap. Strong was a much more accomplished coach when he got the job at Texas, and look how that turned out.

Meh. More accomplished at what? I'm sure TH has a better winning percentage and ratio of marquee wins as share of overall wins. And he also has a NC as a prominent assistant. I personally think his resume far exceeds Strongs, albeit with less games as a head coach. The quality is better. And he has juju that Strong can only dream of. And you can't put a high enough premium on juju. That shit is potent.

Charlie has two titles as prominent assistant and had a 37-15 record including an 11-2 and 12-1 season at Louisville. I like me some Herman but he's been an HC for under 2 years now and has now lost a couple of head scratchers. Charlie can still coach, I think Tejas is a whole different animal.

Like AuTX pointed out, no one was hotter as a coach than Charlie Strong when he went to Texas. He won two titles as Florida's DC, soundly beat a Florida team that was close to playing for a title in a BCS bowl, and took Louisville to a 12-1 record just a year later. That resume doesn't seem more accomplished than Herman's to me.

Good article with a joke at the end....

What if Charlie Strong and Texas are both better off splitting up?

Also, here’s how to report a list of coaching candidates for a newly open coaching job and how to shoot down rumors you’ve already taken the Longhorns job in October.

Is Herman a candidate at Texas if the Horns fire Strong? Absolutely. In the framework of “making sense,” the pairing is so complementary to both parties it’s freaking preternatural.

If Texas is open in December, will Herman be near or at the top of their targets? Yes. Would he and agent Trace Armstrong talk with the Longhorns? Yes, of course. As a reporter, I can confirm that. I didn’t (just) read that on Twitter.

But ask yourself: if you’re Texas or Herman, why would this make sense right now, on Oct. 27? If you’re Texas AD Mike Perrin, why would you “all but lock in” a single candidate in late October? You’re Texas. You can set the terms of the entire job market if you so choose. Why wouldn’t you?

Regardless of what happens with Strong, what if Herman and Houston lose two or three more games this season? That’s a different sell to your rank-and-file fans and your splintered booster culture.

If you’re Herman, this makes even less sense. If the Cougars finish 10-2 or 9-3, you’re still one of the most coveted head coaches in years. What if USC opens? Notre Dame? What if Ed Orgeron really is just the interim at LSU? What if the Beastie Boys decide to tour again and ask you to rap in place of MCA (rest in peace)?

Actually, I’m gonna start a rumor on that last one right now:

Strong was being talked about similarly as Herman was last year. One loss and handily beating a ranked UF/FSU team that didn't care to show up to the game. The season for both Louisville and Houston took a lot of people off guard. Herman just had to do it all over again. Then this year with all of the hype, Herman started strong, but in the last 3 games lost of Navy as a 17 pt favorite, snuck by tulsa as a 23 pt favorite and got whopped by SMU as a 22 pt favorite. Most of those big spreads were due to beating Oklahoma, but their season is trending in the wrong direction.
Bottom line, I think Herman hit his peak as OC at tOSU and we should all welcome him back with open arms and a nice 10 year 40M contract.

lets give the poor bastard a break and give him his old job back. It's the decent thing to do.

A 40 million / 10 year contract seems both too high in payments and too long in duration for an OC. Does he have a decided schematic advantage or something?
