It's real simple. $5 million is $5 million. The expectations of the University were well known to Herman. The "unfair" fan base is not going away. The tough questions will be asked. He is not being paid to learn on the job. In year three we already have three losses. Lincoln Riley is being mentioned as a candidate for the Cowboys job. Anyone hear of Herman being tossed around as a modern coach in the mold of the Rams or 49rs coach?
From where I sit all I hear is crickets including any mention of DBU or Texas is back. The buzz needs to be reignited quickly. I don't know that he can this year. We could very easily lose at least one more game. That's four losses. A regression. How does that sell to recruits? What is your story on turning this around? What can you point to? What is your plan? How are you schematically superior to what other coaches run? What big money edge are you providing? Are you only a program that wins on talent alone?
That's not going to cut it.
