Nobody cares now that you got Malik! So for he is average at best. And even with ESPN and others saying Sumlin is on the hotseat he is pulling a top ten class so don't try to say Herman is killing Sumlin in recruiting. The key will be play on the field. Herman has yet to coach a game af Texas. If his team doesn't show great improvement this season he will lose that new coach recruiting jump. You see as a coach I know Herman is peddling the greatest sales pitch ever, the easiest thing to sell kids and fans, HOPE! But the truth is you HAVE to prove it with wins to keep it going. Sumlin has won. Maybe not enough but enough for recruits to see something. They also watch draft day and see SEC players being drafted at a much higher number than the big 12. Finally, wins over Texas Tech, Iowa st. Kansas etc impress no one, recruits or the committee.

Herman vs chuck?
Let's just say that chuck was a good recruiter, but he didn't recruit like Herman and I will elaborate on that.
Yes chuck was good and had two good years of arguably top 10 talent. But he could not compete head to head with Texas A&M. He won some like Malik Jefferson, which you still can't get over, but mostly he wasn't a factor in your recruiting.
This year kids who hold A&M offers are choosing Texas. So now the recruiting ship in Texas has been righted. It's really 50/50 the way it should be.
I will also argue the 5 committed recruits from California, Arizona, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kentucky puts Herman and Texas on a more national recruiting stage.
So by potential of what has happened in the off season Herman is a Home run.
They are #3 in composite and he has a chance to go #1.
"He has to go #1"

Just the other day this 60+ year old loser was crowing about Herman's "3 wins against top 8 teams." Of course, that's WHEN THEY PLAYED not at all how they finished. But when it comes to US, the goalpost is moved to how they FINISHED. And now of course the "top 4 finish" standard that literally has never been anyone's benchmark.
Such an insecure, pathetic idiot.

That's debatable
CoachLB said:
That is not debatable at all! You can debate which is the better coach, but Strong had a better coaching resume when he got the Texas job!
23-3 is better than 22-5 and half of that was in a Power 5 conference.Texan1976 said:Flexbone said:

37-15 is better than 22-4?
Strong's big win was taking down Will Muschamp.
Herman took down Stoops, Fisher and Petrino.
You go look at Strong's wins and it is pretty weak.
You loved "his process"? What the hell are you talking about? Wtf do you know about what constitutes a "good process"? He's a thin skinned tool, and always has been. Your "predictions" are all based on what you WANT to happen, not what the facts support. If his history is any indication, he'll struggle to make the playoff because he'll have some WTF losses that will make it impossible. In that league - because it's so incredibly weak and not respected at all - 1 loss, and especially a BAD loss - is death knell to any playoff hopes. And even in the playoffs, he has no chance unless he starts recruiting a LOT better up front. Those teams will demolish his.Texan1976 said:
I am bought in. I loved the hire from the beginning. And love it even more watching his process the last 8 months.
He is going to kick ass at Texas.
Their age has nothing to do with anything. Herman isn't a kid. He's in his 40's. Strong has a better history as a coordinator, and Strong has more "good seasons" than Herman as a head coach.Texan1976 said:CoachLB said:

Explain.
Herman is much younger and had much bigger wins.
Both were elite coordinators. Herman was so much better as a head coach.
Why isn't it logical? Because it doesn't agree with the storyline you prefer? They walked into 2 completely different situations. Louisville was awful under Kragthorpe for several years and were depleted when Strong arrived. Houston wasn't awful under Levine, and he recruited really well for that league. You keep pointing to the "big wins" (which you (ironically when considering your reversion to "logic" moments ago) count as "Top 8 wins" when they weren't, while changing your logic while trying to discount A&M's record in a much much much harder league)...but keep ignoring all his WTF losses. He loses to TERRIBLE teams that he has no business losing to. He had a talent advantage in all those games. Those count JUST AS MUCH as big wins. Yet you ignore them. I wonder why? I know why.Texan1976 said:
Comparing Strong's years 3 and 4 to Herman's years 1 and 2?
That isn't logical. And even so, Herman took down better teams. Go look at Strong's wins.
How did they do against quality opponents?
I'm extremely pleased with Herman. He will have us in the playoffs with elite talent in 2-3 years.

I like to argue. This is an internet message board. I'm a 40 year old Longhorn alum who has been a huge fan since I could remember.
I disagree with you. I think Herman has a much better track record. I think he's going to killl it at Texas. We will see. In three years, one of us can come back and be right.
LonghornDub said:
Flexbone is correct. We have not committed a significant offensive or defensive lineman yet, and there is no surplus on campus. Until that changes, UT is likely doomed to the same 8 wins a year as A&M has experienced.
