    Tom’s leadership and game management is pathetic.

    I noticed in previously taped interviews with Sam and other seniors about their 4 years at Texas. Sam mentioned VY, Colt, Shane B, his team mates. No mention of Tom Herman. IMHO that speaks volumes! Tom is NOT a good leader. He might be a narcissist. IDK. He WONT be coach next year!

    Not laying this one on him. He has never been the greatest passer and yet we try and force feed plays that play to that weakness. If he has a fault , it's that he tries to use his bulk to keep a play alive. A deep drop back shouldn't have been called in that last play. Why nit use Smith ir Whittington on dump off passes and let them use their speed and athleticism. This one is all on the coaches.

    We are terrible in every facet of the game! There is no strategy or game plan!
    1. We are unprepared again!
    2. We are out coached again!
    3. We are lackadaisical as in NO hustle and NO spirit again!
    4. We are more worried about show boating again!
    5. We have zero fundamentals on offense or defense again!

    We are paying this clown 5 million a year for a 63% winning percentage? We got rid of Mack because we wanted to hire us a black coach and look all progressive. How about we hire a coach who actually teaches! Look at Dan Snyder at K State! Every year he was competitive with 2 and 3 star recruits and JC transfers!

    We are the flagship university in this state and this is how we play?
    I’m not sure what CDC needs to **** can this moron but this steaming dog turd hopefully is enough.

    Definitely stupid coaching. Fake Punt. Pass on easy FG.

    One thing you can say about Herman, like Frank Sinatra, he did it his way from his first game to maybe his last. He violated every fundamental coaching principle from start to finish. You just can’t make a living gambling like that.

    Just needed 10 more yards and they kept throwing those stupid outs, unsuccessfully, with 2 timeouts in the pocket. Should have gone over the middle. 10 seconds left with 1 timeout you just have to get the damn ball out quickly. They could have even run a draw to get some yards. The only thing you absolutely cannot do is exactly what our QB did...hold the ball, walk into a DT and take a sack. So frustrating.

    I don't know when I've seen a more mismanaged half of football.
    No reason to lose that game.

    Not laying the loss on Sam, but he made a Freshman mistake by taking the sack on 3rd down. Gotta throw it away like Colt against Nebraska. Even if he escapes the sack, the clock runs out before a TO is called.

    Getting the sack is last thing Sam could do. Throw it away for gosh sakes.

    This offense looks EXACTLY likes last year's to me. So does the defense, except now we have 4 guys who can't pass rush instead of 3. What a colossal waste of money.

    Texas simply cannot consistently overcome the fact that Herman's teams start down 7 to 10 points every game due his stupidity.

    All these spread guys seem to think the fundamental rules of football do not apply to them.

    From someone in Dallas at a HS Southlake Game:

    “Sitting at a Dragon football game behind Quinn Ewers folks. He was telling me that Urban has a standing offer at UT. He also said his son decommitted for several reason. Uncertainty in the longevity of the coaching staff was part of it, but he said there was “stuff” going on at UT that he couldn’t discuss that weighed heavily on bond decision. We had the UT game on our phones. Might be Herman’s Swan song.”

    I just hope Tom DOES NOT come back next year. Our football program is becoming a laughingstock. Sad....

    Also, hate to say it but Sam has not played well. He is above 60% completion once in the last 6 games and its a 3-3 record over those games. He misses wide open receivers constantly. He is simply not accurate. You cannot coach accuracy. But you can call plays that help mask your weakness. Texas clearly got outcoached today. ISU found the matchup nightmare with their TE and just pounded it over and over. Stupid fake punt, to the short side no less. Stupid decision to go for it instead of kick the FG. Then a stupid play call with a delay QB power. Gotta get 12 inches, so let's run a delay to let give the D time to get in the backfield. Dumbest MENSA member ever.

    Yes, that's very true. When he does complete a long pass it's because the WR outwrestles the DB for the ball. If he could throw an accurate long pass those would be TD's with the WR walking into the end zone. That was obvious last year and people thought he would improve. Like said above, you can't teach accuracy just like you can't teach speed.

    I thought Sam was excellent today, and his long pasees may have been the best of the season. Purdy missed many long ones. Sam was pretty darn accurate. Some of his throws to Eagles were spot on. He also ran very well. The play calling over the last 4:00 was terrible.

    Sam is a great athlete and. a very good quarterback, of a certain type, with outstanding character and leadership skills. Unfortunately his coach, who loves his skillset, schemes to a skillset where Sam does not perform at a high level. Not Sam’s fault.

    One of my favorite plays in a tight game for short yardage is to roll the quarterback right on a pass run option. Sam is the perfect quarterback for that play. Iowa State has a brutal front three. Game is on the line with no time and Sam is kept in the pocket with no open receivers. Disaster.

    In my earlier post about Sam mentioning teammates, Shane B, CM, VY. He even mentioned Mack Brown! But not Tom Herman.

    Completely agree. The number of times that this coaching staff would call a deep ball after a one or two yard gain on first down has been maddening. Every time it created a third and long or a holding call. Just makes no sense.

    I thought a lot of his passes were poor and inaccurate.

    Both teams looked bad out there. It was like a high school game.

    Terrible loss by He-Man. Fourth year and three losses in 8 games, no conference title, again. At least he doesn’t go down in history as the first Texas coach to lose to OU twice in one year.

    Off to the Copper Bowl or such.
