They wanted to be courted. They wanted more control. They both had substantial offers, but Alleva pulled them

I know about Fishers, and I assume the reports on Herman are accurate

So if Alleva would have matched Jimbos counter, or courted Herman longer, either one would have been at LSU

Alleva settled. For cheap. But paying the coordinators raises the bottom line anyway

Alleva got offended when they offered any push back (as they should obviously do). It was some petty shite. He shouldn't be our AD. How boosters aren't completely enraged right now totally escapes and disturbs me.

Do we know where the boosters / TAF stand on this hire?

I'm not sure if we know but they were clearly ok with JA hiring CEO or they would have taken it out of his hands or fired him.

Obvious Herman picked Texas over LSU. Simple as that. Texas would have beaten every LSU offer because he was the one they wanted and we had a backup plan

Fisher is tired of the BS from boosters.

They hung him out to dry over Winston. He would have left

Right. Herman and Texas got all this done in 4 hours. He only went there because we didn't come through.

So still don't just give up. At worst push Texas to pay more

Maybe you missed the part where he didn't have another offer, because Alleva had pulled it

Wait for his contract details to come out, and then compare

Not necessarily. If you Mosconas article, Herman was thrilled to be courted by lsu

Alleva couldn't handle an ounce of pushback and called off the whole thing

LSU is not a destination right now. Face it.

Because at the end of the day, his counter wasn't agreed to

Some would say it was because he declined the initial offer.
