Tom Herman found his name in the middle of the scandal at Ohio State involving former Urban Meyer assistant Zach Smith, and the way the Texas coach responded was clearly appreciated by some Longhorns fans.
Smith, who was fired by Ohio State after it was revealed that he had been accused of assaulting his ex-wife on multiple occasions, went on a massive Twitter rant against Herman earlier this month. Herman also used to work on Meyer’s staff, and Smith alleged in a social media firestorm that Herman cheated on his wife.
The reason Smith was so angry is that he believes Herman was the one who leaked the information that got him in trouble. Smith shared a screenshot of a text message exchange he had with Herman where he told him he was going to expose him for who he really is. Herman simply texted back, “OK. Cool. Hook Em!,” and now you have all the context you need for this hilarious highway sign in Texas:

Smith seemed to think he was going to bring down Herman with his angry tweet storm, but he really only illustrated how much of a loose cannon he is. As you can see, college football fans really had one major takeaway from the text messages Smith shared.
