Monday night’s College Football Playoff title game was Tom Herman’s last game with Ohio State.
The Buckeyes’ offensive coordinator accepted the head-coaching gig at Houston in mid-December, but has been finishing his duties with the Buckeyes throughout their title run. As soon as the final seconds ticked off the clock and the Buckeyes entered celebration mode, Herman pulled out a Houston hat from his waistband.

And then he was ready for his photo opportunity.

Putting that national championship on his resume is certainly a boon for Herman, but the wardrobe change rubbed some folks in Columbus the wrong way.
For one, former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett called Herman a “weenie” on his Instagram account.


You can’t please everybody, I suppose.
