A winter storm caused chaos for much of the South on Tuesday night, and perhaps no city was hit as hard as Atlanta.

The coach found himself caught in gridlocked traffic for hours and took to Twitter to share his experience.

After a stressful night, Herman's wife, Michelle, tweeted that the coach had finally made it to the airport. This wasn't a regular recruiting trip.
