In a bidding war with Texas. And the rumor is Jimbo kept upping the demands every offer and would not accept

As a fan of a team handcuffed to its current coach because our AD gave him the farm too early, I respect Alleva for not doing the same. What I don't get is why were there only 3 candidates?

Michigan did it, Ohio State did it, Alabama did it. LSU didn't. We're spineless and Alleva is a pussy who lets our dumb fan base make his decisions.

What about the 10 other coaches around the county that would be better than O?

Absolutely not, he shouldn't get a damn blank check. Let him prove that he is worth that much before you raise his salary. He isn't worth Sabah money, no way.

You pay 7mil+ to Jimbo, not Herman.

So in other words LSU will never retain the services of a top tier coach.

So now Herman has no leverage and Texas gets him at a discount. Great negotiating by the AD.

How many coaches are in the Saban, Meyer, and even Harbaugh class? Not many, if any.
