Herm inherited a 10-6 team. It had an excellent offense with a good OL. The defense was okay. He purposefully and gleefully destroyed the offense. He promoted an OL Coach to be offensive coordinator (never a good idea). Even after he destroyed the offense to make it below average, the team still managed to go 9-7, which tells you how good they were.
Not pleased with the amount of destruction, he proceeded to destroy any aspect of the team that was above average. The team went 4-12 and 2-14. If given another year, he could have reached 0-16. If it was possible to be -2 and 18, he would have tried it.
