2 or 3 years removed from being his assistant?

No P5 experience.

Can someone justify this for me?

It's Tejas. They fart $6M and won't think twice about it. And if Herman beats Okie like he did at UH, even a 9-3 season will be justified.

Well, a lot of this is "LSU has gone cheap."

I'm sorry, but Herman is NOT Urban Meyer not worth that much money. Until proven otherwise.

what does it matter? If they wanted to pay him 20mil a year that's up to them. Paying him that doesn't make him better than Meyer, it just means they feel he's a damn good coach and they're going to do what it takes to get him. They could be wrong

Lsu could jave easily paid him 8 mil per year and i wouldnt have cared, find a coach you think will be great and worry about the rest in a few years when other coaches pass him up in salary anyway

....and the amount of pressure and expectations on him will be enormous.

Same as it would be at LSU.

Don't go blaming the cheap route when he's not worth that amount yet. That'd be less than a million dollars a year than Nick fricking Saban.

Cmon man.

Urban Meyer was once hired by Florida from a non Power 5 conference school. I wouldn't say his accomplishments in 4 years as a head coach were far superior than Herman's two years.

Meyer signed his deal in an old market (and i'm sure he's about to get a big bump)

I wonder how long he will get if he doesn't win right away at Texas.

so are you implying that the pressure on O isn't enormous now b/c he's cheap?
