Why the Herman Hate?

Mess did just as well as Herman at ISU.
Good solid points by all of you.... what has he done that makes everyone so angry? I'm only asking because I don't watch Texas. I just know he cause a lot of anger out of all Cyclone fans.
Could we arrange to have the girls he hooked up with hangout on their sideline or something?
I think if you dig around you'll find some not so nice rumors about him. Could be they are confirmed.
Knocking up some college chick and paying for her abortion while he was married doesn’t make him the most upstanding guy.

Some of it comes from his differences with Rhoads back when we all though Rhoads was a good coach on the rise (and everyone's drinking buddy). We blamed Herman for holding us back, but the big wins dried up after his departure (along with key players graduating).
Others have tales/allegations of him with young women around campus, and whatever else people blame him for.
Add the Mensa thing, and people don't like the idea that he might be smarter than they are. He might and he might not, but hearing it brings defensiveness out of people.
I'll play the contrarian. I don't hate 'em. He has a proven track record of success.
We'll beat Texas Saturday, but the Big XII needs Texas to be relevant nationally most years and he is getting them there (although gonna be a little hiccup this year with all the defensive injuries).
He had little to work with at ISU (and a brutal schedule to tend with....and a head coach) when he was offensive coordinator. He has shown he knows how to coach at several places now.
(maybe I don't know the whole "baggage story" that some seem to be alluding too...but if I wanted soap operas, I"d watch daytime TV. Not interested in bringing that into my football.)

Knocked up a recruiting girl while here
And I'm sure theres plenty other reasons I'm missing. Guy is a colossal douche
An arrogant football coach? You don't say!!!
It's a fine line between confidence and arrogance. Of course he's not the only one who falls on the wrong side; doesn't mean it isn't a reason to dislike him.
