Tom Herman fans

Needs to stick to being an OC/assistant coach.

Add him to the miles long list of coordinators everyone thought was great because they were playing with the stacked deck.

Well if Herman ever does anything of worth as a coach again, that could be the spark. Not sure what he did to Golesh to get that disrespect. Wow.

Edit: Pulled the below from Athlon Sport article. Good for Golesh.:

"There's some recent, ugly history between the in-state rivals. FAU ran up the score on USF last season, pouring it on during a 56-14 win. Golesh and the rest of the Bulls did not forget that.

“Not a whole lot of back and forth,” Golesh told reporters after the game. “Nothing, really. I said a year ago we would be back to get it, and we came back to get it. Whatever was said, I’m good.”

Somehow Lane was able to win pretty consistently at FAU.

It’s almost like he’s actually a pretty good coach.

Update from yesterday:

UConn 48, FAU 14

"Tom just needs time flip the roster"

Jim Mora quietly having a pretty good year at UConn.

I like Golesh. Cool dude, and he's good to us (HC coaches). Herman always seemed a little off though, but he has a yearly coaching social/clinic where he gives out pizza and wings, so he's good with me.

The issue with Lane isn't whether he's a good offensive coach(He's a dynamite playcaller and QB coach), the question is can you win big with him, or will there always be a ceiling, due to his personal issues and lack of attention to detail in regards to program management. I don't think it's an accident that he failed at USC, and you can't blame the NCAA for everything that happened. I don't think he's nearly as strong of a recruiter as he could be, and that's because he likely believes that talent is secondary to what he puts on the blackboard. A lot of scheme proficient guys are that way, Lincoln Riley is a classic example of this mindset.

Lane has found his niche, a big fish in a small pond. He can and should be able to win 9-10 games per year at Ole Miss, with the occasional win over Georgia, Alabama, etc. I don't know if Ole Miss will ever get tired of being in the hunt, but not a power.

Herman and Fuente were the **** that year. Both turned out to be more lucky than good. So few great HCs out there. So few. Which is why I knew we had something special with Mario.

Even if Mario ends up not being what we all hope he's going to be, he's going to leave a program with legit talent. Guys like Herman gut the program, and leave you worse off than when you started. Give me a recruiter and talent evaluator HC, worst case scenario is that you end up with talent ready for the next guy.

Does Herman know Golesh grew up in Russia?

Take it easy, Tom

 

[Cylo]

Anybody knows the story here? FAU gave them a good game, didn't they? Was this something to do with recruiting. Golesh looked pi$$ed
