I will say this one more time: I don't want to rush into the "easy" hire,,,KS. Yes, he may end up being the best hire, but I just want to reach for the stars first. We KNOW KS will take the job..................go for the elite established HC first is all I'm saying.
Turn it around: if you look at resume, I would put Herman ahead of KS any day of the week. First, all the talk about "knows the area". Heck, Herman's recruiting area at Ohio State WAS Atlanta. Check. Two, great OC mind. He took a 3rd string QB and won a national title. Third, unlike KS, we know Herman can run a program. Houston is 11-1. Yes, the opponents are less talented but so are Houston's players. After OSU kicked Bama's a** Saban spent time with Herman to pick his brain on offense. We have no way of knowing if Bama defense is great because of KS or Saban. Smart has never had to take inferior talent and coach it up. Herman has taken average talent at Houston and will most likely be 12-1 after saturday.
If everyone on this board is correct and getting KS means getting Will Chump..................I'll take Herman, Want no part of WM.
Understand, I'm not saying we shouldn't hire KS. I'm saying Tom Herman should at least be interviewed because the man deserves it.
I'm only saying that everything we give high marks on KS for Herman has done that too. If KS had never played at UGA would we still be so enamored with him? I don't care where my new coach played before. Muschamp and Bobo played at UGA. I want neither one of them.
Urban Meyer had never coached in the south. Think about that.
