I don't know how anyone can believe that story - from "sources" - and accept it as gospel.

Herman is the "dream coach" LSU boosters have been salivating over all season. The same guys who had $15MM for Les' buyout ready to go in a day last year. He's also being pursued by a school with a $20,000,000,000 endowment. Did Alleva think he was going to take Dan Mullen money?

Herman has a long way to go to prove he's worth a long term contract of $6 million per year so LSU acted sensibly.

I don't care what Herman asked for because it was just a leverage point to get more from Texas. He wasn't coming to LSU and have to face Bama, Auburn, Florida, etc every year when he can face TCU, a gutted Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas and the rest of that shitty conference.

Jesus, and people are happy that we got our coach out of the bargain bin at the Red White and Blue on Jefferson Highway. But he talks like us....

The price of a competent coaching staff is the same regardless of whether its given to assistants or head coaches.

Meybe the AD is broke. The state sure is. We're the peasants of the SEC.

Will go down as the worst decision Alleva has made. And that's saying something.

That's a lot of money for a head coach with that experience but the price of head coaches is really high now. I believe Arkansas gave Bert 4+ million a year and coach Mac got around 3.5 million a year plus UF had to pay his 5+ million dollar buy out option on his contract. By not hiring Herman LSU will have t pay more for an OC and DC.

LSU isn't saving much money though. LSU is about to pay an offensive coordinator more than 2 million dollars.


This. LSU will rue the day they didn't step up to the plate.

Maybe the only thing Alloser has done that I agree with. $6 mil for an 8-4 AAAAAAC (or whatever conference it is) coach? Pass.

No way Herman or Jimbo deserve Saban money. I hate the O hire, but that is a lot of money for coaches who don't have a resume near Saban's
