Really great opportunity for him. Wish him the best, except against Michigan.

It was a poor choice made worse by the misspelling.  Obviously, it wasn't just me who was concerned/confused about the title.  Seemed a lot like clickbait.

It would be like saying "JIM HARBAUGH'S COAACH HEADING TO THE NFL" when it was Matt Weiss getting hired by the Ravens or something.  Just a weird choice of words, man.

when i'm skimming thread titles to click on i don't thoughtfully read every single word in every title.  i just scan everything and my brain picks out key words like names, schools, or things like hired/fired/injured/portal/etc.  so when i clicked, the only things i had processed were ben herbert/hired/purdue.  i think most people process information the same way, although my mom always did tell me i was special so idk

Well if Ben Herbert wasn't the guy in question hired then probably the guy's name who was actually hired and then maybe a blurb about how he is associated to Ben Herbert within the thread would have been better imo

Yeah my heart sank when I thought Herbert was gone the way you worded this title.  Dude has made a massive impact on our players year-to-year. 

Would be detrimental to lose him.  Don't do that to us, op!

Am just glad it wasn't Ben. Probably a good move for Kiero Small. He's relatively young and has a good career ahead of him. Surely he learned an awful lot from Ben.
