I guess my beef with that rationale is I don't see how competition could make yall the last Power 5 job to get filled, unless it was the worst Power 5 job that opened (and I don't think that was the case). I really just think your AD is over his head, the days of promoting legendary coaches is over for a reason.
Maybe it was the worst job open. Dunno. There are circumstances beyond Tanner's control, despite his atrocious management of the situation.
Miami hired an alum who fell in their lap.
UGA hired an alum (and if that job hadn't opened, Smart is probably in Columbia right now)
Mizzou hired an alum on-staff.
VaTech hired a guy who didn't want to come to the SEC.
Maryland hired a guy who was probably on our list, honestly.
We lost the hiring war, no doubt. But maybe he's the right guy, regardless.

I would agree with this. While we were the last to get filled the only guys we actually missed on were Smart, who RoyalAir provided intel on and Herman who this thread is about. To me, Herman is positioning himself for another role and I'd rather him do that in Houston than at USC.
Also I find deeming Muschamp's time at UF a failure to be a bit much. Back to CB's point, would I fanboy/whiteknight for him if he were at Auburn still, probably not and that's mainly due to not having a reason to until he becomes our HC.

Sure sure. At some point it is time to round the wagons and think positive.

I don't, he did fail there. But maybe he learned from it.
Hell the best coach in the NFL today failed in his first NFL head coaching job.
