If choices came down to these two "Kelly or Herman" who would you want?

Ok this is no disrespect to Coach O, this is just a hypothetical question I hope LSU wins out and if Coach O gets the job I will support him 1,000%. This is just a what if question.

At the end of the season, the coaching search came down to just 2 candidates "Chip Kelly & Tom Herman" and both were very interested in coming to LSU. Which coach would you like to see get the job and what is your reasoning?

Herman

Every teenager in Texas knows who he is and his reputation. That would be great for recruiting

Kelly's autism/awkwardness/homosexuality or whatever it is seems to have become somewhat of a drag on his career. Herman is an alpha dog, except for the kissing players thing.

Herman by far
Chip Kelly doesn't like to recruit and doesn't like to do the whole booster thing so I don't think he's the right fit in the sec.

Kids wanted to go play for him at Oregon because he was one of the first to run his kind of offense. Now over half of CFB runs something similar. It's also a finesse offense and you can't run finesse offenses in the SEC. that's why Ole Miss loses 3+ games a year with their talent, and Sumlin had to adjust his scheme to more power football

It's sad that you have to preface this question with that statement, but whatever.

Actually a pretty tough question. I guess i'll go with Chip. More proven. You know he's not going to be a bust.

What makes Kelly's offense a finesse offense?

Because there is a lot of passion here for Coach O and I didn't want this thread to be by posters saying why not Coach O. There are enough threads on here debating whether Coach O should be our coach or not. I just wanted to see what posters thought of Herman & Kelly if those were the only choices being considered.

Herman.


Kelly runs far less variety of plays than even Miles. Kelly runs a total of 4 different running plays.

Smaller olinemen built on speed.
All of 1 running play meant to run inbetween the tackles.
Wrs running off cbs in run plays rather than blocking.

That's been proven it can't work in the SEC?

You'd rather what LSU had been running under Miles, that works in the SEC?
