AUSTIN, Texas -- Tom Herman now gets his chance for a Texas takeover.
Grey
Running Shoes .Herman, who coached Houston to national prominence
the last two seasons, was announced as the new Texas coach Saturday, replacing
Charlie Strong, who was fired in the morning after three consecutive losing
seasons.Longhorn football has been -- and always will be -- a national power,
winning and playing for national championships with great pride and passion,
supported by an unbelievable fan base, Herman said in statement released by
Texas.Contract details were not immediately released, and must still be approved
by Texas Board of Regents. Texas still owes Strong nearly $11 million on his
original five-year guaranteed contract.Texas acted quickly to snag Herman, who
has only two years of experience as a head coach but is 22-4 with the Cougars,
with a 9-3 mark this season after Fridays loss to Memphis . Hermans name had
emerged as a top target for Texas officials as Strongs final season started 2-0
but faded to a 5-7 finish.Hermans brief stint at Houston galvanized the Cougars
program. The coach coined the phrase H-Town Takeover in a bid to energize the
local fan base and keep Houston-area recruits at home.The 41-year-old Herman now
gets a chance to do the same at one of college footballs blue-blood programs,
stocked with money, prestige, its own television network and a feverish fan
base.Herman was offensive coordinator at Ohio State when the Buckeyes won the
2014 season national championship. He spent a season at Texas as a graduate
assistant early in his career under former Longhorns coach Mack Brown.Hermans
record at Houston and big wins over top programs such as Florida State and
Oklahoma had pushed the Cougars into early-season College Football Playoff
contenders as well as candidates for a move to the Big 12. Neither scenario
happened, however, as the Cougars dropped midseason games against Navy and SMU
and the Big 12 chose not to expand .Herman was regularly mentioned as a possible
candidate at several schools, notably LSU . But most of the attention focused on
Texas, where Strong was in his third losing season in a row.Tom was the hottest
young head coach in the country the past two seasons, and I am thrilled we are
able to get him back to UT to lead Texas football, Texas President Greg Fenves
said.Houston Vice President for Athletics Hunter Yurachek said the university
was grateful to Herman for his two years. Defensive coordinator Todd Orlando
will be Houstons interim head coach for its upcoming bowl game.In his short time
in Houston, Tom Herman elevated the Houston Football program to new heights, and
we are grateful for his contributions to our program. The entire University of
Houston community wishes he and his family continued success in this new chapter
in their lives, Yurachek said.Texas is desperate for a return to the nations
elite. The Longhorns had a decade-long run of 10-win seasons under Mack Brown
from 2000-2009, a span that included two Big 12 championships, one national
championship and playing for another.But Texas hasnt won a Big 12 title since
2009 and Strong was just 16-21 overall, ending with a 31-9 loss to TCU on
Friday.Herman takes over a program that most see as loaded with talent that just
hasnt been able to win. Strongs recruiting classes were ranked among the best in
the country the Longhorns two-deep roster is stocked mostly with sophomores and
freshmen. One of Hermans first jobs may be sitting down with junior running back
DOnta Foreman, who rushed for more than 2,000 yards this season, to gauge
whether Foreman plans to turn pro.Herman said he met with Fenves and Texas
athletic director Mike Perrin well in the pre-dawn hours Saturday to reach an
agreement.I came away very impressed with their unified vision and commitment to
football, and Im excited to be the head coach at the flagship university of the
greatest state in the union. I am eager to get to Austin as soon as possible, to
spend time with our student-athletes and to get to work, Herman said.Strong was
the first black head football coach in Texas history and many of his players had
pleaded this week for him to be allowed to return. Despite swirling reports that
he would be fired, school administrators had pledged no decision would be made
until after the final game.Its a very difficult day for me, my family and all of
the people affected by this decision, Strong said. I do understand that it comes
down to wins and losses, and we have not done our job in that area yet. I accept
full responsibility for that, but know in my heart that we accomplished our
primary goal, which is the development of young men.---AP College Football

title and took the title in New Zealand for the second time after his victory in
2010. The match was similar to Isners quarterfinal victory over fifth-seeded
Philipp Kohlschreiber which went to three sets, all tiebreaks and contained no
breaks of serve.

Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this
week and the team made the announcement Friday. Australia women 242 (Perry 69,
Bolton 63, Luus 4-37, van Niekerk 3-52) tied with South Africa women 242 (van
Niekerk 81, Kapp 66)Scorecard and ball-by ball- details A fourth straight ODI
fifty for Ellyse Perry, second consecutive for Nicole Bolton, a four-for from
Suné Luus, and a match-changing all-round performance from Dane van Niekerk
combined to a dramatic tie in the fourth ODI in Coffs Harbour. South Africa
women needed eight off the last over and later five off two, when Masabata Klaas
slapped a four but was run-out on the last ball as both teams were all out for
242 in only the fifth tie in womens ODIs. South Africa have still not beaten
Australia in any format.South Africa were reeling in their chase at the score of
40 for 4, rattled by the Australian quicks and left-arm spinner Jess Jonassen.
After Jonassen broke the opening stand, Perry bowled Lara Goodall, Rene Farrell
bowled Luus and debutant Amanda-Jade Wellington had Mignon du Preez stumped with
her very first ball. Kapp and van Niekerk joined forces that only steadied them
but also brought the chase on track with a massive partnership that lasted 30.3
overs. Wellington would have had her second wicket, of van Niekerk, in the 16th
over but Meg Lanning could not hold on to a low chance at slip after the ball
flicked the keepers glove on the way.Kapp and van Niekerk scored 144 runs
together, the third-highest stand for the fifth wicket overall, and took South
Africa towards 200. While Kapp was more circumspect in her sixth ODI
half-century, van Niekerk scored at more than run a ball against Jonassen, Perry
and Farrell.It took a run-out to break the stand when Kapp backed up too much at
the non-strikers end and walked back for a 104-ball 66, starting Australias
fight back.
Black Cheap Running Shoes. South Africa
needed 57 off eight overs and Van Niekerks fours during her third ODI fifty
brought the asking rate under six before Jonassen bowled her for 81. Another
run-out and nine runs later, the visitors needed eight from six but Elyse
Villani, bowling for the first time in her international career, conceded seven.
When they needed one to win, Klaas struck a full delivery to midwicket but could
not reach the non-strikers end on time.Australia had opted to bat and Bolton and
Perry, who missed the last match with a groin injury, steered them for over 16
overs after Beth Mooney, who was promoted to open, and Lanning fell cheaply.
Bolton and Perrys partnership yielded 80 runs before Luus dismissed Bolton, for
63, and Jonassen in her consecutive overs.Alex Blackwell then allied with Perry
with a quick 35 off 30 but van Niekerk disturbed their lower order. Perry helped
them cross 200 and took them to the last five overs before Luus sent her back
too and van Niekerk struck on consecutive balls with the wickets of Alyssa and
Villani. The stutter meant Australia struck only 26 runs in their last five
overs as debutants Wellington and Tahlia McGrath were dismissed off consecutive
balls in the last over.Luus finished with 4 for 37 from her 7.5 overs and Van
Niekerk returned figures of 3 for 52 from nine overs.
