That combined with his arrogance, and hardass attituded towards everyone...... he could have a very, very short shelf life.
I cannot believe how conservative that game was called. I understand protecting the QB... but you have give yourself a chance to win the game.
My biggest gripe about Herm was the conservative play calling.... and Haley has made him look like Al Saunders.
It is hard to keep a team from giving up when the head coach calls a game like he gave up midway through the third quarter.

The end of the game, maybe. But halfway through the third quarter? I don't buy that at all.
As for giving ourselves a chance to win the game, it was pretty obvious from about the 10 minute mark in the 1st quarter that they had no chance to win the game. At that point the playcalling becomes about not getting embarrassed and not getting anybody killed.
