First, if you think Nebraska fans had high standards and semi sense of entitlement(which there are plenty of) have you really met said Longhorn fan or been to Austin??? 10 wins is an "alright" season in their eyes. Second, he walked into a s#!tshow on par with what Riley did to the program. Herman had to flip kids mindsets and did a big roster rework. Sound familiar, I mean that was a four year excuse for many Frost apologists.
Herman went 7-6, 10-4, 8-5, and was canned for going 7-3. Won every bowl game those seasons, and got to the Big 12 title game. Didn't throw out excuses nonstop his first couple of years, like someone here.
