Two losses later - including an embarrassing 22-point loss to SMU - and some of the shine has worn off of the Cougars and Herman. At least one high profile job has a coaching vacancy in LSU, and another, Texas, might also be available.
Houston still has a chance to win the American Conference, and they also can knock Louisville out of playoff contention later in the year. But if the Cougars drop another game or two, it will be intriguing to see whether Herman's name is still mentioned as the top candidate for those positions.
