Had great offenses when OC at OH St, did okay at TX but not good enough for their fan base. If we move on from Hamdan, would he be a candidate that we would want to talk to?
Tom Herman fired at FAU
- Thread starter gamecockcat
- Start date
Herman was considered a no-miss head coach just a few years ago. He literally had multiple offers and took the biggest salary with the most football tradition. It was also in a talent rich state with boosters throwing $ at the program.
He’s exhibit A that hiring a new coach is a crap shoot. The statement is not connected in anyway to Stoops, Sumrall, or any coaching decision. It’s simply the reality that about 1 in 3 new coaches are successful.

Not sure why you believe that. I may be mistaken, but OSU won the Natty with Herman as OC and their 3rd string QB who sliced and diced every opponent. Had really good years at Houston (I believe they beat Lamar and the Ville in a key game with him at the helm) before moving on to TX. I don't recall that his offenses weren't any good there, either, but I may just not remember accurately.
I am curious why you believe he's a horrible OC in light of what we've got right now. I'm not saying that he SHOULD be on the short list but only WOULD he be a consideration if we move away from Hamdan who, imo, has been very disappointing from a lot of different standpoints.
Good to great OCs are good & great because they have first, a really good QB, OL, RB, and WRs. Do you think we have these things to make a OC look great? Just asking!
