Pretty interesting guest piece written by Herman for SI's Campus Rush site. Didn't realize he was OC at Ricein 2007. Anyway he talks about how he is tackling his first HC job, recruiting Andrew Luck to Rice, lessons learned at Ohio State, and even a little Big 12 mention.
My Education as a Head Coach: What has gone into reshaping Houston's program.
Houston hired former Ohio State offensive coordinator Tom Herman as its head coach on Dec. 15, 2014. In the last eight months he has received an education on the life of a head coach—in advance of his debut 52-24 victory over Tennessee Tech on Sept. 5, he did everything from speaking at a local rodeo to ripping up tiles in the Cougars' athletics facility to putting in the foundation for a 2016 recruiting class that ranks No. 44 nationally, according to Rivals.com. Herman revealed to Campus Rush everything that goes into a coach's first head job, and the progress of his attempt to build Houston into "a mini–Ohio State."
