I agree with that theory, Mr. Dave Lane. It fits the facts as we know them and it's consistent with Herm's somewhat petulent attitude.

I've known a lot of guys like Herm through the years. Guys who bullshit their way into situations that are too big for them. Once there, the results are not and their reaction to accountability is similar to that of a teenager who's been caught doing something stupid ... they either lie or blame someone else for their difficulties or both.

Eventually, the string will run out on him, though. He can't keep changing the means whereby his work product is measured forever. Sooner or later, he has to field a winning football team or find other employment. The shame of it all is that he's actually being paid so much to learn on the job.
