Sarkasian is a definite downgrade. This is how programs go in the gutter. Changing just to change. Somebody needs to be fired. Maybe its Chris Del Conte.

They fired Akers to get the totally incompetent David McWilliams.
They fired Mackovic for an upgrade with Mack.
They fired Mack for the worst coach in Texas history-Charlie Strong.
Now they fire Hermann for someone with a 46-35 record at Washington and USC. Just crazy.

Sounds like money people put the pressure on CDC and he caved.

I think the entire "The Eyes of Texas" saga with players not singing it along with Herman's lack of insistence for the players to do so played a larger role than we know.

Herman was to mend a number of fences, especially among Texas high school ranks & the power structure among big exes & their political influence, expecting his brief stay in Houston would have prepared him for a broader PR role. Nine of that really occurred and now someone less in touch with "Texas HS football" is tasked to repair it.
