Rumors have run rampant that Herman to Houston is very possible, even likely at this point, with Muschamp to Auburn:
Tom Herman and Houston would seems ideal fit. Went to school in Texas, coached in Texas, recruited Texas. Dynamic offensive production.

Very good source tells us the Alabama game will be Tom Herman's last at OSU regardless of the outcome of that game.

Surprised #Houston hasn't reeled up Tom Herman already. Coaching carousel is getting pretty nutty right about now.

These are very credible sources (Feldman, Rittenberg, Schad), not to mention several of them, so I tend to give them more merit; therefore I'm wondering what sort of impact the 11W staff thinks his departure might/would have? I know Birm mentioned Herman was close with Burrow and that Burrow could reevaluate his commitment if Herman left and that's only 1 recruit. Any thoughts?
