re: It all depends on the source of the leak...

It doesn't if LSU backs away and makes another run at Jimbo. For some schools, a leak like that is an instant deal-killer.
I've never said the leak was a good idea by UT.

To tell the world that you have agreed to terms on a deal but are still interested in hearing other offers? Are you really dumb enough to think that is normal? That doesn't help Herman in anyway and makes him and his agent look terrible in the public's perception.
It happens all the time.

yeah if you want your client potentially blacklisted from major jobs
just like major coaches don't want to deal with UT b/c of their boosters, big jobs won't want to deal with that kind of shite form their coach. you have to be a guy like nick saban to pull that kind of shite off. herman doesn't have that kind of reputation/respect

He isn't staying at Houston. The fact that he was out of the playoff discussion after the one loss makes just underlines how irrelevant that program is, even with him.

No they won't.
It was likely his agent that leaked it to some loud mouth booster.
If doesn't bode well for LSU

This is almost exactly what happened to LSU last year, but nobody else was negotiating with Jimbo.
You would think that schools would stay away from the blueprint that LSU laid. Even more ironic, is that it once again involves LSU, but we still have no clarity on whether or not anything has been set into motion with Herman and LSU.

He's got two of the best programs in the country bickering over him. He's also a 2nd year HC who's about to make upwards of $5 mil a year.
How exactly do you people think the UT boosters found out about his supposed "agreement" with LSU if Herman's agent didn't tell them? There was no tweet from any LSU source until after the story from ESPN.

Yeah. I've never heard of that tactic. Almost every coach wants to finish out their current season before discussing a new job. I can guarantee you his agent asked Herman if he would allow a leak if he were the source, which seems highly unlikely.

Les Miles and Arkansas just a couple of years ago. Well, that wasn't too difficult.

i don't think so
i don't think the UT AD is that hot on him (may be mutual)
that's why you see this desperation move from UT boosters

Les Miles didn't agree to shite. his agent just leaked information that he was interested
Posted on 11/25/16 at 10:39 am to RB10
I think it's absolutely possible UT was negotiating with him as well.
Also, as a parallel, let's suppose the ULL coach were Herman and we were in the same position. You're telling me that LSU wouldn't have solid inside info if Herman looked like he were going to choose Texas?

Does this change anything I've said? Everyone seems to believe the UT boosters really run that program. If true, then UT is definitely fighting for Herman. Also, it just reaffirms my stance that the officials found out about the LSU agreement (Most likely from the agent) and told the boosters, who then leaked it because they were pissed.

Not even close to similar. Miles was already the coach at LSU being courted for more money. He didn't have a deal in place with Arkansas then release something to the press saying he was waiting on LSU. Holy shite you are a moron.

yes
if UT isn't really going after Herman and Herman's agent goes full on nuclear, he may be left with no BCS job and a scarlet letter that may prevent him from getting those jobs in the future (esp a top program). that's a HUGE risk for a little bit of leverage that would be useless

no
they think they do
it's chaos
Posted on 11/25/16 at 10:45 am to SlowFlowPro
To make in a bigger cluster there are different sometimes competing groups of boosters each doing their own thing. For everything it can and should have going for it, ut is a nightmare job

Wow you're dense. If you guys want to believe Herman's agent is above this type of shite go ahead.
I'll keep living in the real world.
