    I'd take either of these guys. Though Jimbo would make me feel as bad as the Miles hire.

    Was making a point. A case can be made for every coach sucking and being overrated at some point and how fickle fans are.

    The remaining coach without a current loss is always the next anointed king. Chris Peterson is that guy now. Maybe he's good I dunno but he won't be near as popular once he loses a couple games. Just see how quickly the David Shaw bandwagon came to a halt.

    Point being a coach should be judged how well he utilizes talent and as well as the talent of his coaches. Herman is as bright an upcomer in the coaching ranks as there is. But he still comes with a lot more risks than Jimbo or Shaw.

    However, Coach O is starting to feel like the right fit if going on gut instinct. Timing and all seems good and it feels like he's more than ready.

    Tough call but get one of them. Maybe in that order. Shaws offense still looks like Les Miles and I need a gd break from that.

    Lol, great story. I guess it's to be expected when you chain up a bunch of soldiers and then finally turn em loose on the town.

    Peterson's a West Coast guy. Your $1.8M/yr reasons wouldn't be enough.

    Since @tirk has been all over Herman like his ex-girlfriend was all over Eddie Kennison since last season, I'm pretty sure the thread title is facetious.

    LMAO

    Go easy on the ol guy. Not easy for a man to divulge that kind of info. I was proud of him for it.

    This is true. We should definitely applaud Tirk for putting aside his fragile male ego for the betterment of a discussion in a TF thread.

    Oh please. I just wish I had more to add to it.
    Yeah clearly Tigas radar is even further off than most.

    I'm sure Eddie "added" to what needed to be added to.
