To address the ongoing rumors surrounding his job security and a possible replacement by Urban Meyer, Tom Herman’s strategy is to focus on winning. Despite Texas stringing together three consecutive victories and holding a 5-2 record, the rumors persist.
The most recent speculation links Urban Meyer to Texas, adding fuel to the speculations.
When asked about his thoughts on the rumors threatening his position, Herman emphasized that his primary concerns lie with his players, the program, and the upcoming game against Kansas.
Herman highlighted the negative impact of the Urban Meyer rumors on Texas’ recruiting efforts. He expressed the challenges of countering reports from unnamed sources that other schools exploit against Texas in recruiting battles.
Max Olson of The Athletic shared the transcript of the exchange regarding these rumors.
The Texas Longhorns are currently ranked 22nd in the nation, with an upcoming game against Kansas on the schedule. A win in that game would bring their record to 6-2. However, their chances of securing a spot in the College Football Playoff are slim, as no two-loss team has ever made the cut. Overall, Herman has attained a 30-17 record as the coach of the Longhorns.
