You and I both know he would because that is just who he is.

I don't agree with that idea at all. He's not going to change what they're doing because they're having success with it. If the offense is being productive, he's not going to change the offensive philosophy simply because "that is just who he is". Herm is dumb, but he's not that dumb.... If that were the case, then he never would have tried something different in the first place. He wouldn't have let Chan run the spread at all if he were indeed as stubborn as you say. He would have went down in flames clinging to over-conservative offense with a team that couldn't run it. Most Herm critics said he'd never run anything but the R2P2 offense, and they've been proven wrong.
