AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Texas coach Tom Herman asked him Monday about his long career on the show, looking to keep targeting his players looking to win their last two regular-season games.
“I’m incredibly aimed at beating Kansas State, I’m afraid I’ll win on anything, I’m afraid the cube will be thrown or something,” Herman said.
When asked if his weekend conversations with director Chris Del Conte allowed him to explain his professional status, Herman described his relationship with his boss as “excellent” and said the discussions focused on Saturday’s game on the road.
Herman’s job prestige is open to question now that Texas has no realistic chance of winning the Big 12 championship again. He skips the last two games to focus on a possible NFL career.
Herman has a 30-18 record in 4 seasons and last week’s 23-20 loss to the state of Iowa took Texas (5-3, 4-3 Big 12) out of the championship after taking eighth place this season. league championship game only once, in 2018, and have won the league since 2009.
Herman said the popular thing for Texas is that the Longhorns are in the “conversation” of the name of the big 12 and compete for the championship every November and December.
“We were there this year. We were there two years ago,” Herman said, referring to 2018 when Texas lost in the Big 12 championship game before beating Georgia at the Sugar Bowl.

Texas expected more than conversations about the championship when it hired Houston’s Herman in 2016 with a contract that awards him more than $6 million a year and a purchase of more than $15 million if fired. His contract runs until 2023.
The economy of Herman’s remaining contract, plus millions more to re-purchase guaranteed contracts for attendees, and the amount Texas will want to rent a new coach will have to be something for Del Conte and the rest of the school’s administration and sponsors. his training team after 2019 with seven new assistants, adding offensive and defensive coordinators with guaranteed multiannual contracts.
Del Conte did not respond to a request for comment.
