Honestly, 5 mil is what he deserves not 6. I don't care if anyone disagrees because he hasn't earned that sort of money

There is nothing in Herman's resume to justify paying him top dollar in the SEC. Would have been foolish.


People said this about Saban in 1999.

Pay whatever you need to pay. Basically by O being your next choice you had 2 homerun hires that you really wanted. Well if one of those is a young guy that you think may be the man that can build a dynasty you give him 6 million a year

The Market justified $6 million. He is the TOP guy on the market.

LSU would have easily made that much more per year in popcorn sales, bowl revenue, etc.

Herman is not a BIG BOY. Saban, Urban, Jimbo, Harbaugh... those are big boys. Herman is an up and comer. Could be the next Urban, could be the next Strong. Not worth 6 million currently. At least one smart move by LSU. Should have interviewed others including Fleck after that instead of giving it to O, but telling Herman to GTFO with that 6 mil talk was the right move.

If true, LSU just picked Archer over Spurrier ... again.

I dont think it was ever about the money...it's about control...Miles had too much power, Herman/Fisher would have had too much power....Jones has no power, Nikki Hyphenated has no power, PM has no power, and Orgeron will have no power...Aleva is now in total fricking control

Same agent that leaked the news?

He hadn't proven shite yet. He had potential, but still losing to very poor to poor teams.

I expect Herman will have a new agent soon. Lol

You can't gamble with 6M for a guy like Herman, who is far from a guarantee.

Things did go as planned for him, this year. Let's be honest, he may have a huge upside, and he is by far a better coach than O, but 6 million is a lot, for a guy who hasn't proven much as a HC. Sure, he beat OU and Louisville, but he lost several games that he shouldn't have.


You idiots do realize the exact same things were said about Saban's first deal, right? We vastly overpaid him based on his MSU performance.
