VIDEO: Texas Head Coach Tom Herman Oddly Flips off Camera During Live Broadcast on Longhorn Network
By Michael Luciano
Texas head coach Tom Herman either didn't know that he was on live TV (highly unlikely) or he simply doesn't give a rip about the fact he is on live TV. While ESPN's Longhorn Network was covering Texas as they prepared for the Early Signing Period, Herman could be seen giving the camera the old double-finger salute.
Tom Herman is apparently under the impression that double birds on live TV is less offensive than horns down.https://t.co/3kE4VA6QtM

Herman, who has compiled a 22-15 record in three years at Texas despite consistent Top-10 recruiting classes and a winnable Big 12, has finished the regular season unranked in two of those seasons.
Herman's tough guy persona that he tries to put on whenever he's banging his head into a player's helmet before the Baylor game or flipping off a camera on live television falls at the first hurdle when he gets worked up into a rage whenever a team has the audacity to use the "horns down" hand gesture.
You'd think if you're so cool you can flip off a camera you'd be able to stomach "horns down", no?
Tom Herman double flicking off the camera. Real classy Herman...

Remember this guy is an arrogant egotistical child responsible for an entire program and all the kids in it.
Smh. Why would anyone want to play for this guy or let their son join his program? https://t.co/TJOYdqiWBh
Nice job showing you're a tough guy, Tom. We're already looking forward to you somehow avoiding getting fired after another 7-5 season.
