| Braxton Miller? You're damn right I'm stoked |
Herman is the first outside coach to be hired to Meyer's staff. Meyer announced at his introductory press conference that Luke Fickell, currently the interim coach through the Gator Bowl, when the Buckeyes meet Florida, would be retained at Ohio State in an as a yet undetermined role (We think Co-D-coordinator).
Also, first-year receivers coach Stan Drayton has been retained, though he may switch to coaching running backs. Taver Johnson, OSU's fifth-year cornerbacks coach, will also be retained. Linebackers coach Mike Vrabel's future with the Ohio State program is still under consideration by Meyer.
As for Meyer's new quarterbacks coach, Herman is relatively young (36 years old); He has been Iowa State's offensive coordinator for three years, as he was brought in with Paul Rhoads before the 2009 season.

Under Herman, the Iowa State offense has scored 20.5, 23.7, and 23.6 points per game in those three years.
Previously, Herman was the offensive coordinator at Rice for two years, and he spent time as an assistant at two other schools in Texas for the six season prior to that. Herman also spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at Texas after graduating from college. Meyer is obviously impressed with the job Herman has done running the spread offense during his tenure at ISU, and wants him to be one of the men that are privileged to come in and help develop Braxton Miller and even put some new spins on the offense.
