If OSU is running all kinds of misdirection and counter plays next year, I think the reason he didn't do that at ISU will be pretty clear.
OSU is going to be crazy on offense with Herman and Urban Meyer. That innocent, little, defensive-minded conference is going to get an education.
I'll be ticked off if I watch OSU next year running all kinds of misdirection and counter plays.... wondering why he didn't do that here!I think its more that we didn't renew his contract. I also don't think he was Meyers first choice for OC, and was originally brought in just as the QB coach. He really isn't bad, he just hasn't had the talent here. Talent wont be a problem as OSU, and he will also have Meyer to help him improve. He really is in a great situation now and will probably be a HC in five or so years.
I for one believe Coach Herman will be given every opportunity to succeed at OSU, just exactly how much will be due to him will be difficult to tell.
Quite the contrary. Rich rod was all about offense and you see where it got him. Meyer has yet to be proven in a situation like this. Out west he was successful yet played in a somewhat weak conf. At Florida he had some great talent no question. SEE GENE CHIZEK!!! Chiz was a failure at ISU yet goes to auburn and wins it all...his first year?
It's all about talent and not as much about coaching for me. OSU while still garnering many talented kids is NOT on the same level as LSU, Alabama, Florida, Texas etc. I feel Meyer will do well but Wisky, Mich, MSU, and in the future Illinois, will still have alot to say how the Big 10 goes. Iowa will not have much success in the near future. It's viewed as "old school" conservative play calling, is NOT what this generation wants.

Losing Herman will hurt short term IMO....half step backward I'm afraid.
It will definitely hurt short term if we hire someone from outside who has to install a new offense, establish new relationships, with players and coaches each, etc.

No way. OSU is just as prestigious as any of those teams. They're the class of the Big 10 and can compete with recruits with anybody, especially with Urban Meyer at the head. I hope Herman does well and I'm looking forward to seeing how the Bucks do against the rest of the Big 10.

If OSU stubs their toe, it will be Herman's butt (and fast) not Meyer.
Herman will be heading to Ohio State after the Cyclones' New Era Pinstripe Bowl game ...........
So much for being all in. Guess it just applies to the players.
All said and done, good for him. I really think he needs an accurate throwing qb to bring the offense to life. We are getting there, but JB deeper down the field needs work to become a threat. I remember Nebby that had a qb that never completed a ball deep one time, and the defenses were stacked at the line against them. We will get better next year.I think its more that we didn't renew his contract. I also don't think he was Meyers first choice for OC, and was originally brought in just as the QB coach.

He really is in a great situation now and will probably be a HC in five or so years.
