This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I actually don't think Tom Herman is that bad by ndzippy

I know, it sounds silly. But hear me out.

What he accomplished at Houston is just as good as anything Brian Kelly accomplished at Cincinnati (both teams earned final #8 rankings once).

He's (still) never had a losing season. That's even more impressive when you consider his tenure at Texas followed three straight losing seasons...and preceded this year's 4-7 (and counting) dumpster fire.

He has a 5-1 bowl record, including a Sugar Bowl win.

To use ACross' word, it's pretty clear that he's a meathead, and he spends too much time in strip clubs. But he's always produced results on the field, and I think he still has another act in him.

I think the Texas brass probably wishes they hadn't run him off in favor of Sark, who may well go one & done at UT.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well!
