Thanks for posting this. Agree with Herman at #1. Will be interesting to see how all the new coaches do with their new teams.

So Herman beats Oklahoma then proceeds to lose to Navy, SMU, and Memphis and that makes him the #1 hire.

See the Power of the Oklahoma Brand.
If he's so good why did he lose to those scrub teams.

Tulsa and UCF lost to Houston less then OU did. Going by your criteria from other matters, Tulsa and UCF are better then OU.

Dude
You need to up your game when it comes to trolling.
It's terrible.
Maybe don't spend so much time down on the team board or something.

That's the difference between you and me. I'm not trolling, I'm using your logic to say which team is better.

I'd go something like this for guys that have already had Head Coaching experience..
1. Taggert
2. Fleck
3. Orgeron
4. Herman
5. Fickell
6. Brohm

But having Charlie Strong at #7 and Randy Edsall at #10 is questionable.

Yep
Keep telling yourself that.

Just like when Mack would beat Oklahoma then shit the bed and let us win the Conference and you guys would talk about how we backed into things.

It's cute.

You're the one that seems scared to death of Herman, think about how many times you've posted in the last few months that he lost to those teams. I get it, he punched your team in the mouth with a bunch of mid major players and you're stuck with Kingsbury 2.0

Because everyone seems to forget that Herman took over a well oiled machine at Houston and that he beat a pretty good Oklahoma team then shit the bed and lost to those teams he had no business losing too. And for some reason he's #1 on this list. Ridiculous.

It's not a hard concept.
You boys just don't like the truth to be brought up.
I don't blame you after everything you've been thru.

I'm not sold on Herman either. Hell, with no data I would be just as happy with Riley...although not sure I would have paid him 3.5 mil. Still better than giving flavor of the month 5+ mil.

From a purely PR standpoint, FAU made the best deal. Hell, nobody was talking about FAU at all, now everybody is. They aren't going to do any worse than the 3-9 they've been for 3 years, and for coordinator money you put the brand in everyone's living room.

That well oiled machine lost to UTSA, not Frank Wilson's UTSA the UTSA that got Larry Coker fired. But I get it, he makes you nervous. Seeing him on any list, or brought up makes you go wild.

Herman is Urban Meyer 2.0. There is a reason every freggin program not named Ohio State and Alabama was interested in him last year.

I hate it cause we are going to have to deal with him every year now but if there is a program that I'm buying stock in right now it's Texas under Herman. Very very good fit/hire imo. May not happen this year (though it might, Texas intrigues the heck out of me this year) right out of the gate but that's gonna workout fine for the Longhorns iyam.

I might love Fickell more than I loved Kelly. UC football is officially back on the map.

Little early to be "grading" anyone, it's how their team performs on the field that gives them the grade!
