And he is gone

Tom Herman to Texas, Jimbo Fisher to LSU, Lane Kiffin to FSU, and Les Miles to Houston. That would be awesome.

Surely FSU wouldn't hire Kiffin. His next chance is gonna be a2d tier place I would think. Perpetual P5 loser or hopeful G5 place.

We will know how far down they have to go. When Strong was hired, Red McCombs undermined him immediately. Strong had no chance.

Bullshit. Texas still has all the advantages of being Texas.

You finally got one right. Congrats, only took like 12 years.
 
Bad fit. Like Rich Rod at Michigan. Was never going to work. Like Jerry Dinardo at LSU. Like the HS clown ND hired for a year or two.

Don't cry for Charlie he has achieved the new American Dream. Getting paid huge sums of money for doing nothing.

Go Jackets!

Gerry Faust? I met him about 23 years ago through Tim Stowers when he was Georgia Southern's head coach.

This is another example of how hard it is to run a successful football program, even with all the advantages and recruiting opportunities that Texas has. Some of the Tech fans need to keep this in mind when they start calling for a coaching change. The obstacles to success at Tech are considerably greater, and the wrong hire could take us down a path of 3-9 on a regular basis, not just one season out of nine.

So you're saying just stand pat. Continue on with 7&5 seasons with a "nothing bowl"an a decreasing fan base?

No. I am saying it's hard to run a consistently successful football program, even with all the advantages of a factory school. There are fans who want to change coaches every few years, based on a short period of disappointment. They usually want to replace the coach with a guy that had one or two years of success somewhere else, or to hire an assistant from someplace that has a successful program. Tech is two years removed from an Orange Bowl win and top ten ranking, so we're not limited to 7-5 seasons and a "nothing bowl". We have a coach with a track record of decades of success as a head coach, and a record here that is a little better than we've historically been. If we change coaches, it could be better or it could be worse. Odds are it won't be better.

Spot on. This is the kind of perspective that few of our fans have, but all need. Obvs everybody wants 10+ wins & NY6 bowl every year, but few get it w/o cheating.

Its perspective few fans of any team has, Herman's resume is little different than Strongs was. But they are prepared to pay him ungodly sums and believe hes the second coming.
 
Fans usually want to hire coaches for absolutely the wrong reasons. It could very well be that the team NOT hiring Herman is the winner.
