Carolina got the guy they need. I think Boom will be a lifer there. Hermann would bolt to Texas or aTm as soon as he could

Exactly ... IF he is still a hot commodity when the time comes. No guarantees that he will be. He probably thought, and this is what I was told, that he wouldn't be when the time came IF he took the Carolina job after the loss to the Citadel because he wouldn't have time to get the rebuild done by the time with the Texas or the A&M job opened-up ... which I guess he figured would be happening within the next year or two. And who knows, he may be right.

Honestly, it was a smart move on his part and honestly, we ended-up with the right guy.

Herman could have never pulled off assembling this staff Boom put together and Herman could have never pulled-off putting this recruiting class together.

BTW, FWIW, SCAR finished 26th, Houston finished 40th. SCAR closed strong with 4 of 5 key targets on signing day. Houston lost 4 key commits within four days of, and on, signing day, and picked up no one to replace them. They fell 15 spots on signing day under Herman coming off the best season in Houston history.
