AUSTIN -- Long before he became one of college football's most coveted coaches, Tom Herman was like a lot of us Average Joes.
Granted, he was a lot smarter than most of us, ultimately becoming a Presidential Scholar and California Lutheran University cum laude graduate. But for much of the 1990s Herman was a self-described "awful athlete" wide receiver at a Division III school, uncertain where his life and career paths would lead.
Long before he began making a $5 million base salary at Texas, Herman, like a lot of us, worked various odd jobs during his high school and college years.
