Herman’s coaching career mirrors my marriages:
- Great gal I should’ve stuck with.
- Hot, but with too many underlying issues.
- First one I could nail down after #2.

G5 OC appears to be his immediate future. What does that pay? $500K/year? Nice change but nothing like the millions he made before. Real humble burger for him. I’m here for it.

Yes. TH as a “volume recruiter”
A huge group of stiffs.
Added a sarcasm note 2 my OP.
Slowest team in FL.
FCS FL AM way faster. Front 7 gets laid out. OL so clunky.
Free safety trucked 3x a game.
Season starting QB is pretty good.
Throwing the coordinators under the bus didn’t buy Herman an extra year this time

Herman is such a massive ashole that FAU wouldn’t give him a 3rd year, AND brought back the DC Herman had just fired. lol

LOL, at bringing that guy back as OC. ZERO NADA ZILCH chance CWF would hire him or Uncle T and RK would even let him in for even so much as an interview. I heard Hertz is hiring
Though FAU has habit of firing quick, must make the message board warriors happy,
'Herman becomes the Owls’ latest short-lived coach. Other than the program’s architect and first coach, Howard Schnellenberger, no FAU coach has lasted more than three seasons. Only one, Lane Kiffin, had a winning record.a

Are U shushing me—they only are out 4 mil for him, lessee, 15 from us, 15+ from the orange cows, plus this and all his “fees” he was able to charge at each place. Damm, what a job! Is there a college major for this? Just my luck i missed it.
You can’t be serious… we wouldn’t be anywhere in football or basketball without Uncle Tilman.
Rehire Herman???

I’m not even sure his resume justifies that. He may need to drop down a division and restart his coaching journey.
Nobody puts Tillman in the corner.
I will keep saying it until someone listens:
This is EXACTLY what is WRONG with college athletics.
Dude is gonna walk away with $4M for SUCKING!!
Failing to accomplish your objectives (WIN football games) should NOT get you a PAID VACATION.
Failure to win should be a FIREABLE offense.

Never heard of a golden parachute…?
It’s not specific to college football… all business leaders get this stuff baked into their contracts.

Duh… my issue is not with living up to the contract, it’s the structure of the contract itself. My beef is GENERALLY with all contracts in the industry, not just this one contract. It’s the result of inflation due to agent involvement.
They guaranteed money based on the belief and his representation that he would deliver.
HE DID NOT.
Again, this isn’t just specific to Herman, it’s across the board.
Here’s the way I would structure a contract:
$500,000 per WIN, guaranteed for three years (add kickers/incentives if you want)
If during the term, YOU want to get out of the contract then you need to return 1/2 of what we paid you during the contract term. (That would be if you’ve had success and then are getting poached by another school.)
If during the term, WE want to get rid of you because you didn’t live up to expectations, then we will pay you 1/2 of what we paid you during the contract term. (Our buyout would be greatly reduced if you SUCKED but we would still owe you something.)
We were turned down by the B12 when Herman was our HC; however, he would have left for UT regardless.
