**UPDATE** So here's where we stand...

As it should be.

Always too many issues getting Fisher any ways.

Please be sure to get one and I prefer Herman!!

Hope we have him.

Now I am in!!

Please let this be accurate

Hanging out to dry with a fat payraise and raises for all his assistants maybe.

I thought Big 12 voted not to expand? If so, how can your point about UH joining be true? Makes me question the entire post. OR am I missing something?

They decided not to expand for now. Houston still has high high hopes of joining the big 12.

Not happening anytime soon.

UPDATE:
So I texted my buddy and asked him why the news had not leaked yet. He actually called me and said what a difference a day makes.

Apparently, Jimbo's rep (not Sexton in this instance) said something good enough this morning to make LSU wait a little longer for him to agree in full. He is still skeptical that Jimbo may be angling for a raise, but he said Jimbo was their #1 choice and that Jimbo was definitely going to come last year until LSU received pressure from the state to keep Miles. He said that he doesn't know why Jimbo would change his mind this year, but he said that he thinks Jimbo may be stalling a little to see what FSU might do. He said that Fisher IS willing to keep Aranda, but he wants it to appear that it was his (as head coach) decision to retain him. Whatever.

As for Herman, he said that it stinks, because he thinks that Herman WANTS to come to LSU. He said that he doesn't think that Herman wants to go to TX, because TX is a rebuild -LSU already has the pieces in place to lock and load recruits for title runs. I don't know if this was Herman's opinion or his, but he said the defense is there already, and even though the offense is not quite there, the recruits are there for success.

He said that Houston is already prepared to match and possible beat anything LSU throws at him, because they think keeping him is necessary for a BIG12 resume. I asked why Houston wants to keep him as a vehicle to get into the BIG12 when expansion was already voted down. He laughed and said, that the BIG12 "unanimous" vote was joke. He said that they are definitely going to expand, and they are waiting a year or two to see how their prospects perform in all of their sports before making a decision on who will come. Houston thinks that they will be tentative BIG12 members within two years. I don't know how much of this is fact or his speculation, so take it for what it's worth.

I prefer Herman, and I asked why are they waiting for Jimbo if Herman wants to come, and he said that Jimbo was always the first choice for several reasons. He said that he is familiar with scoring on SEC defenses and is proven in the SEC over multiple seasons. He is already familiar with recruiting in the state and has coached under Saban and Bowden. He has also shown that he can win a NC as head coach. Also, his track record with QB's speaks for itself.

I asked him who he thinks it will be, and he said that in light of recent events, probably Jimbo. I asked him when we would know something, and he thinks that it won't happen until Sunday, but that was a guess.

I asked him what happens if Jimbo or Herman fall through, and he said that he doesn't think it would happen. However, Fedora is next as well as someone else that no one is tracking. I asked him if it was Chip Kelly, and he laughed and said no, because he proved against LSU and Auburn that his offense does not guarantee success against SEC defenses. He didn't say who it was.

You can believe it or not. None of the people posting info are doing it under oath, just based on a friend's info or I guess to troll or spin everyone's wheels. I take everything people are saying with a grain of salt and read more for entertainment anyway.

If any of what is posted on this board is true, frick Jimbo.
