Les Miles press conference on in a few minutes

Yes, I'm with you.
"In 2007, Herman then followed head coach David Bailiff from Texas State to form the new coaching staff at Rice. With a reputation for engineering high-powered offensive attacks, Herman’s offense smashed nearly 40 offensive records during his first season as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Owls.[citation needed]

Rice ranked in the Top 10 nationally in 2008 in passing offense (5th; 327.8), scoring offense (T8th; 41.6) and total offense (10th; 472.3). Two Rice receivers had more than 1,300 yards receiving that year, tight end James Casey had 111 catches and quarterback Chase Clement was the Conference USA MVP.[2][3]

Iowa StateEdit
After building of one of the nation’s most prolific offenses at Rice, Herman joined the Iowa State Cyclones as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.[1][4]

During his three seasons at Iowa State, the offense improved considerably and broke numerous team and individual records.[citation needed] Iowa State's 52 points in a win over Texas Tech marked the most points put up by the Cyclones against a conference opponent in 38 years. Iowa State quarterback Austen Arnaud ended his career as the Cyclones No. 2 all-time leading passer with 6,777 yards and 42 touchdown passes. His 8,044 yards of total offense is the second-best total in school history. Running back Alexander Robinson finished his Iowa State career as the Cyclones' fourth all-time leading rusher with 3,309 yards.[5]

Ohio StateEdit
On December 9, 2011, Urban Meyer selected Herman as his offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Buckeyes.[6] On December 9, 2014, after leading Ohio State's fourth ranked offense while playing two backup quarterbacks, Herman was awarded the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation's top assistant coach.[7

 

I'm not willing to go that far just yet. Looking at the depth chart, the size, the experience I'd say the D held their own. It wasn't what we are used to but see the afore mentioned. The anemic offense kept them on the field far too long. An undeniable trait of LEM. An offense that should have had NO problems moving the ball.

 

I know he is good on offense man. I just need to see more of a sample size with him recruiting in the tough SEC Conference. That worries me.

 

As opposed to?

 

But being out of position all too often has caused many problems of its own.

 

I'm not saying he's the guy, don't get me wrong. I'm open to anyone for the sake of discussion as long as it isn't some wet dream candidate. That being said, no one seems to be talking about realistic candidates should Jimbo not pan out. I hope Alleva isn't putting all of his eggs in Jimbo's basket or this could be an epic disaster. Hopefully some realistic debate will begin soon.

 

Shit. I guess we might as well fly Tom Herman in tommorrow and announce him as head coach. I'll keep my fingers crossed after that.

 

Maybe quote the quote you're referring to instead.

 

True, but with that they still held imo. We got stops when they were needed for the most part only to watch the O go 3 and out

 

Can't argue with you on that one.
