Recent thoughts from Texas football head coach Tom Herman shows that he’s clearly not fine with the current standing of the targeting rules.

When it was instituted less than 15 years ago into the game of football, the targeting rules were very controversial at the outset. A lot of calls that football fans felt were soft or uncalled for at the time were ultimately meant for player health. Even to this day, targeting calls still carry plenty of controversy. And this rings pretty true with head coach Tom Herman and the Texas football program.
