    UH struggles badly to hold on to coaches. Briles and Sumlin are two examples. Have a little success and then leave for a bigger program.

    UT isn't going to go after Herman anyway. But if they wanted him, they'd have him easily next season.

    I doubt they want to go the unproven coaching route again.

    You've trolled enough in this thread. You're worse than bigtexxx.

    Easily based on the fact that UH is UH and UT is UT. He's never going to have a future at UH, you agree with that much, so getting an opportunity to coach a big time program, he would jump on it the moment he got the offer.

    But again, I highly doubt UT would even offer someone like Herman who is inexperienced.

    If you like trolling, go to another board. You've already done enough of it in this thread.

    Unlimited financial resources and one of the top handful of coaching jobs in the country.

    But this is all way too premature regardless.

    I was actually referring to the UT Sack on Mayfield.

    He was spun on top of someone and lost ball before he hit the ground.

    Surprised they didn't look at that one.

    Penalties and field position killing UT now, they had to go away from what was working in the first quarter.

    If Texas wins, lots of media will be backtracking and eating crow Monday.

    Would have loved to see them fake the knee or inside handoff and chuck it deep, just for the hell of it.

    UT has been trying to run out the clock since the start of the 2nd quarter. Dumb strategy.

    His forward progress was stopped and play was called dead already.

    ahhh ok. yeah i was thinking about that to. UT seemed to maybe be holding him up off the ground trying to strip the ball. it came out though before he hit the ground 100%

    Not likely. The story will be (as it should be) that Charlie saved his ass. Everyone will eat crow when this team becomes good again.

    What point are you trying to make? That Herman would turn UT down so he could stay at UH? I'm not one of the guys that says Saban or anyone else at a major program would def come to UT because it's the best program on earth. However I will say that Herman would leave his house now and be at the Cotton bowl by 4 if it meant he could get the Texas job. Sumlin would have left the year before if A&M came calling a year before. People were in denial about Sumlin using UH as a stepping stone. Don't let it happen to you again.

    It's pretty crazy - if they can pull this out - given how crappy they've played much of the year, that they could've been 4-2 with wins over good OSU/Cal/OU teams barring a couple of colossal special teams screwups.

    God that would suck as a UH fan to have to watch your last 3 real coaches running programs in College Station, Austin and Waco.

    Wow, what a win. They desperately needed this.

    This is 3 straight years that we looked much better than OU despite the programs funk.
