He's probably gotta take a step down and take on a job at a mid-tier Power 5 school like Colorado or Northwestern before one of the Blue Bloods take a flyer on him.

But I wonder how much of his lack of success is on him or just the culture at Texas? Take out the Mack Brown and Darrel Royal years
and their performance is disappointing. Nothing on the field shows that UT's culture elevates the play of the talent or the coaching.

They should be a perennial Top 10-12 team but rarely are.

I haven't watched Texas much since Herrman's been there but I haven't seen him work any miracles given the talent he has. But then again, most coaches there don't.

It might end up being the best for him to get away from Texas' dysfunction.
