This is also getting heavy circulation on twitter:



quote:

@WilllDaThrilll @KylePuma cross Tom herman off the list. Jack Arute just reported there’s already a secret agreement in place with SoCar




ETA: This is appearing on various TX based message boards:
"Herman has agreed in principle to be the new head coach at South Carolina."

Dammit Arute, it's not a secret anymore. Loose lips sink ships.

This wasn't leaked on our end of things, I can guarandamntee you of that.



In case y'all are wondering where this Arute comment came from:
Herman was on Arute's show this week. They had time to talk on and off air. Last night, the UH BOT began putting together a package to try to keep Herman, including giving their Chancellor a larger range of negotiating power.
That is was Arute said what he said, his exact quote was

quote:

"this is what's going around the whisper circuit. The whisper is that Tom Herman, Houston's head coach, has pretty much agreed in atleast principle to become South Carolina's next coach. Now I say that, and I'm comfortable saying that, because later yesterday afternoon, it came out of Houston that the Houston people are trying to cobble together an attractive increase in pay and benefits to keep Tom Herman right where he is"

Tanner called the commits today to keep them up on whats going on and how the process is going. And basically said they have their guy. And before it goes public he would let the commits know first.

I listen to XM and Arute's show when I'm traveling for work. He's been right about stuff, he's been wrong about stuff. If Herman wasn't just recently on his show, I wouldn't pay this any credence. Arute is a Pro though, worked for ESPN for the college coverage and now does the same for XM.

Kinda confirmed it in my mind when the TX boards started blowing up with the whole Herman accepted SCAR HC position in principle stuff.

Good God I cannot wait to smear Mizzou's face in this shite (pun intended) when it's confirmed.

Interesting stuff, especially the part about Tanner calling the recruits. I would consider this a slam dunk hire. What say you?

Very impressed with the way he's handled the Houston job. I know Urban thinks very highly of him. It's definitely a game changer if everything stays in line and he is a Gamecock. Just concerned there's about another 2 week window before something will be announced. Any thing can happen in that time.

I haven't seen that anywhere, except for the guy who posted that a few posts up.

Herman is a slam dunk hire initially, but we won't know sure no matter who we pick for about 2-3 years. Honestly, Herman, Fuente, Dantonio, and Smart would all be grand slam hires. Herman is better than Fuente though, he won the heads up contest.

Ok, I believe you. I just recalled on the commit thread I made when he committed that some people were talking about his dad posting on here, so I looked at that old thread and sure enough, that was accurate.

1. We're really excited to have your son play for SC.
2. I hope you son sticks with us through the coaching change.
3. If he doesn't, I wish y'all well.
4. Does Tre still want to play DB or WR more in college?

ETA: That's kind of big news (what you originally wrote) is it ok if I share it?
