The real loser of the 2016 Coaching Carousel is probably going to be Kyle Allen. Transfers to Houston to play under Herman, has to sit out a season, and then Herman leaves.

They are in a weird spot, theoretically the program ceiling is high and you can't fault them for striving to compete just like LSU, Auburn, Texas etc. , but since there is no winning tradition it is going to look bad when they fire Sumlin for going 8-4 in a tough division and being ~top 3 in school winning percentage since WW2.

He graduates from UH in January so he'll obviously grad transfer. Deriq King will be the QB next year. My real big worry is the amount of bag men for other schools starting to gather around Ed Oliver.

I've been busy doing dope poo poo and not watching football, but I just checked in on the game via mobile app and when I saw TCU was kicking our rear end all I felt was relief that the situation wouldn't become any messier. Strong is out and there is no room for anyone to question it. Three losing seasons in a row. Worst win percentage in Texas history. There must easily be 10 coaches I'd take over him at this point, and that number would doubtless be higher if I was familiar with more coaches' bodies of work.

I'll be rooting for Strong at his next stop.

Mildly concerning that Herman couldn't get his team up for a game that he potentially had millions of dollars riding on. I mean he will get hired up but a win would definitely have given him more leverage and/or sent a bidding war spiraling higher.

Alternatively, it could be a case where it's real hard to get your players focused on the game when the entire media is speculating on where you'll be signing a contract tomorrow. Plus at this point, all the team is playing for is which mid-December mediocrity of a bowl game they'll be assigned too.

Here I was thinking that Charlie Strong had at least one 7-5 season under his belt at Texas. His record is even worse than I realized. I didn't even know it was possible to do that poorly at Texas. Certainly Texas can hold their heads high for letting him go if they were paying him over five million dollars per season.

The very post you quoted said it did not have any bearing on whether he would get hired away. It only has a bearing on just how far someone will go to keep him away from everyone else who wants him.

That could easily be measured in the millions of dollars over a the course of a few years.

We need:

One Charlie Strong type life coach/social worker who makes it his number one priority to ensure that these underprivileged young men get a degree and give themselves and their descendants a better chance at building a comfortable life. And to not rape anybody if it should ever seem unclear whether they should or should not do that.

Several recruiters with deep ties to the Texas HS football scene.

One Tony Gibson-style defensive scheme savant who knows how to stop the spread.

DL/LB/DB position coaches good enough to instill solid fundamentals in our players so they can actually tackle when the scheme puts them in a position to do so.

One Art Briles-esque Texas HS style offensive mastermind.

OL/WR/TE/QB position coaches good enough to instill solid fundamentals in our players so they can actually move the ball when the scheme puts them in a position to do so.

A special teams coach. Like basically any coach who can teach special teams please god.

Kyle Chandler/Matthew McConnaughey to be the public face of the team who slaps backs and charms boosters and does LHN shows/press conferences.

Boy did I pick a good loving game to go to. And their fans suck - I was trolled by an old lady. At least I got some kick rear end pork ribs afterward.

Seriously, this felt like the last game Sumlin "coached" for us in 2011 only they eventually remembered how to put some points up on the board this time.

Oh well thanks for the memories Tom, it's too bad you couldn't bother to coach your last game.

-4 years as HC at North Texas, 3 national titles & 1 BCS Bowl victory
-30 years as HC at Miami (FL), 30 national titles, 17 Heisman winners
-JD from University of Houston (TOM HERMAN COACHING TREE??)
