Once more, no one had the NIL or portal either. I don’t see Herman excelling under the new rules any more the old ones. Recruiting was a major weakness of his.
Herman lost too many games he shouldn’t have, while losing virtually all he was expected to. The fact he often made those games more competitive than expected was a bit of a plus.
You honestly believe Oh St, Georgia, Bama, Mich, Oregon, Penn St, aggy, et al, aren’t playing in the same space?
Penn St just paid a guy $50 million not to coach, aggy has about that much left to pat. They got the money.
Herman could recruit skill guys but was awful on the line of scrimmage. He did well early on with Charlie’s guys, at least better than Charlie did. But by 2020 recruiting went aground and the well was drying out.
It’s called coach speak because every coach does it. Listening to pressers and expecting anything illuminating would be very frustrating.
People never seem to get angry with coach speak after a big win. Wonder why?
We did against OU. For whatever reason we matched up well with them, got Wisner loose, then suddenly Arch could breathe in the pocket. I have no doubt we would have done the same last night. But 12 for 37 ain’t getting it done for your lead back.
This blame the messenger crap is ridiculous.
I’ll keep a close eye next spring and summer on coaches who’ll announce they’re weak in particular areas, don’t trust certain players and question perceived strengths.
And during the season I’ll let everyone know when a coach openly blasts individual players and questions a team’s character during pressers.
PS, that ain’t how the world works.
