This year, Texas is 5-2 and the consensus is that Herman and the Longhorns have fallen short of expectations. The issue came up on Monday at Herman’s weekly press conference. Herman was asked what he tells players and recruits when his job security comes into question with Meyer’s name being mentioned.

“The recruiting part’s a different story. When you have the things that have been written about us and our program, myself and our future, very unfounded articles that state opinion as fact, that state unnamed sources as factual, that’s very hard to defend against. If I’m a competing recruiter, what do you do? You press print and you say, ‘Look, this is true. It must be true, it’s on Orangefans.com,” Herman concluded.

What a joke.  Recruits believing Urban was replacing squirmin' Herman would improve recruiting, not detract from it.
