Well, we got Herman, half of your wish already. Hook-em!
UT alum here. The thing is that Herman was an assistant at UT for a time. He knows how it works there. The deep pocket boys and girls have a major say on who and what the team does. If Herman can play the game of recruiting as well as the political game, he will have a good run. Strong was never a good hire, he did not fit in for many reasons. IMO, Texas needs to get in another conference, but that seems doubtful.
