Tom Herman is silently making burnt toast.

Tom Herman doesn’t need players to like him, just respect the plan

“Just like a kid doesn’t need to like his parent, he needs to respect his parent,” Herman said.

This is where Herman (and many other coaches) go way, way wrong. Respect doesn't just happen in a vacuum.

The way you get college athletes to respect you is to demonstrate to them that following your guidance will lead to improvements in their ability to perform. Only when they recognize the value of putting in the work that you request of them will they be motivated to actually engage in that work. If, on the other hand, he looks at the coach/player relationship solely as a parent/child relationship, he is going to lose his team. Respect has to flow in both directions to get the kind of results both parties desire.

Added in edit: Herman probably gets this better than comes across in this article.

Does Herman suspend this guy for a few games or give him the boot?

I'd boot him. He punched a guy 10 times and didn't knock him out. Weak.

Maybe he can write a poem and everybody down there can tell him how great it is.

Can someone help me understand the subtitle of that article?

"Last season shouldn't dissuade anyone from jumping off the Tom Herman bandwagon"

shouldn't dissuade - That's equivalent of "should persuade", right?

Isn't that saying last season should persuade people to jump off the Herman bandwagon? But the article has a positive lean to it (overly, IMO).

So, I guess Boyd punching that guy would sound like someones wrench box toppling over spilling its contents down a metal stairway from the top?

Is silence a pre-requisite when building burnt orange beasts?

Don't sleep on TCU. I think they have a better QB, then Thrill. They have the best defense and speed all over the place.
WVU will score a lot of points and Texass hasn't done much to show they can score at will. When was the last time Texass beat OkieLite?



USC, TCU, OU, Okielite and WVU could all be losses. TT and Baylor will play up and ISU is not bad.


Final outcome BigXII

OU
TCU
WVU if they stay healthy, they could win the conference.
Okielite
Texas
KSU


I will not be surprised to face a 2-3 Texass in the RRS. I doubt better then 3-2

Bigger question is who will be under center? Will it be head-wound Sam or Jetski Shane? I don't think Ehlinger can stay healthy, too much of a bulldog.

I don't think you're giving Iowa St. enough credit.

You’re giving them too much. They’re not catching anyone by surprise this year.
