Easy explanation. They don't expect to win.Initial rumors are that he will coach the Bama game, but not the Championship game if we win. Makes no sense to me, but that was the word - unconfirmed - from usually reliable sources. We've gonna miss him....he did a helluva job this year with that offense esp the QB's.....replaced 4 starting OL (3 of whom are starting in the NFl as rookies), Braxton, best WR and Carlos Hyde and still fired on all cylinders. Hard to imagine.....don't think it will have too much bearing on the Bama game but would much prefer he be completely focused on that game for the next 3 weeks
Well, FSU did score onceMark Richt's pitiful performance as the FSU offensive coordinator in the BSC title game against Oklahoma is a probably the gold standard when it comes to distracted coaches.
Yeah, this. Very possible that Herman is a great play caller and has played a significant role in developing their players, but their offense is really a product of Meyer and it's not missing much unless it's missing Meyer.This won't help Ohio State, but it's hard to see it having any significant detrimental impact. Meyer has long since been running the show offensively, and was going to do so in New Orleans regardless of what Tim Herman did.
Urban has a decent track record. I'm sure you'll be fine. Even Saban makes a bad hire occasionally, but the good coaches will overcome that. Meyer has a strong enough track record that I don't think it's worth worrying about. He was fine before Herman and he'll be fine after.I am worried about this - not for this season, but for our future. He has done a tremendous job developing our QBs, and that is probably going to take a step backwards. Also, even if he is focused on the game plan for Alabama, I wonder if he will take the time with Jones that he might have otherwise without this distraction.
Yep. He was there 5 years and got out. U of H is nothing more than a stepping stone. If you get fired from U of H, your head coaching career is over in the FBS.I think Art Brile's Houston experience was quiet successful.
Still a stepping stone, and an OC or DC has to get their feet in the water somewhere if they are to continue rising. We thought of MSU as career suicide for Dan Mullen, but a good coach can parlay a bad job into a career move.Yep. He was there 5 years and got out. U of H is nothing more than a stepping stone.

He had nothing to lose. That's usually when our offense plays it's best.McElwain took the CSU job and proceeded to call one of his best games against an all-time great defense.
There was some guy named Sumlin who did pretty well there too. Wonder what ever happened to that guy . . .I think Art Brile's Houston experience was quiet successful.
They're already taking it...It will give them an excuse when they lose.
If he makes that demand, he loses a coach.IMO, the decision for Herman to coach the bowl game hurts Houston more than it does OSU. The Buckeyes are a main program and will fill the spot and continue to play well in the Big 10. Houston on the other hand is not a major player in the world of college football. Herman needs the time to meet with his team, hire coach's and lay the ground work for a very short recruiting period for UH. The dead period is fast approaching but work needs to be done. If I am the AD at UH, he comes to work immediately and does not coach the bowl game for OSU. That is all I've got to say about that.
If he's staying at tOSU until the bowl game with Bama and if tOSU wins until the end of the NC game, he needs to work 23 hours a day.IMO, the decision for Herman to coach the bowl game hurts Houston more than it does OSU.

OSU also has nothing to lose.... They are expected by all the national media to get whooped by BAMA. I expect the OSU players to rally around their coach and play lights out on offense to send him off a winner. That said, I am confident BAMA wins but, I see a 34-31 type game.He had nothing to lose. That's usually when our offense plays it's best.
