Texas Longhorns coach Tom Herman is a member of MENSA. Which is a High IQ society. However, Herman is often too smart for his own good. Herman arrived in Texas in 2017. He was touted as the savior of the program. Second season results of 10-4 with a Sugar Bowl win over Georgia increased expectations. That proved to be betting on College Football fool’s gold. Since that time the Longhorns have been mediocre. Meanwhile, Iowa State coach Matt Campbell gets more from less. Iowa State lacks the talent of Texas. They make up for it with heart and character.
