Texas Football: Top Longhorns as Game of Thrones characters
Tom Herman, Head Coach
This comparison for the Texas football program and Game of Throne this late into the show might seem off at first. But, it’s easy to see how Daenerys Targaryen and head Texas football coach Tom Herman are so similar in narrative between these two worlds.
Herman brought the Longhorns football program back to relevance in orderly fashion. Since he left the Houston Cougars program, it looks as if Herman felt like he was destined to bring the Longhorns back to national prominence. Dany has to feel like she is destined to be the ultimate ruler in the GoT world on the Iron Throne.
You’d have to say that Dany would be the favorite at this point in the show to get the Iron Throne. But so much changes in GoT week in and week out that it’s hard to know who has the inside track to ultimate glory.
Herman is trying to get the Longhorns back to the top by winning the Big 12 and making a run to the College Football Playoff this fall. He has the roster to do it and made it through the initial test during his first two seasons on the Forty Acres. Dany also made it through the first test in the war against the dead and the Night King.
