Re: Herman to Ohio State?

Here is where ISU has ranked in the Big 12 as far as scoring offense for Herman's 3 years:

2009: 12/12 at 20.5 ppg
2010: 11/12 at 21.7 ppg
2011: 9/10 at 23.5 ppg

The average scoring offense in the Big 12 this year was 34.6 ppg. Nationally this year, ISU is 86th in ppg. There is no way ISU can make any moves beyond 6-6 playing in the Big 12 with that kind of offense production. This offense isn't anywhere close to where it needs to be after three years.

I sure hope the folks who say these problems are mostly talent-related are right. I kind of doubt it myself...

So where do you think we should be with a freshman QB, 3 soph & 1 freshman RB's, and an receiver class that has underachieved for years?

Losing Herman would set the offense back, he finally has the right players on the roster to run his offense. A coaching change is not what the offense needs right now.

Re: Herman to Ohio State?

Would be a bad move for him. No way I'd want in at year 1 or 2 there. They will suck for a year or two and demand a sacrifice at some point.

Plus its a step down.


Ohio State is not going to suck at all for a year or two.

Re: Herman to Ohio State?

I am 38 years old and have been going to Iowa State games faithfully since 1977. Hardly a troll.:smile:

I just happen to know someone with really good information on the subject.

We're testy on the board today. Really don't know why.

Your arrival is strangely convenient, so it will be interesting to see where this goes.

It's a loss for ISU no matter how you spin it.

Re: Herman to Ohio State?

This would be an terrible move, so he is demoting himself in a position where he will have to be promoted to OC again? I have never heard of QB coach making the jump to HC.

Meh, I'd prefer he stayed but I have confidence that PR would hire a good replacement. I don't see him hiring someone with a different philosophy than Herman. It would be nice to see Herman have a breakout season in '12 though...

Same pay for less responsibility ain't bad. Herman's a MENSA guy, right? He's probably making this move, if he is, thinking about how he's getting to a HC position.
