Any rising coordinators or falling HC's looking to go back to college? Did LSU look at anyone in this category at all? Did JA really limit the search to three people?

exactly what I said yesterday..nobody wants to come here.

Just those 2 middling coaches and that too if you throw &+ mill at them or Baw Baw who wouldnt be HC at any other DI school in the country.

It makes no sense. How can you limit your search to two candidates with a guaranteed fall back? I don't know if there's such a thing as AD malpractice, but not looking at pros and college up and comers would be it. Even if it's just to say that you did an exhaustive search and to give yourself better leverage when you've drilled down on who you want.

So according to your comment. You are mad at LSU for hiring the only guy who wanted to coach here?

no way anyone from NFL was even considered. This administration isnt sophisticated enough to pull of an NFL hire. Alleva is incompetent.

It's a state institution. They have to interview a certain number of people.

Nobody was looked at. Alleva offered the two "big name" coaches (who would leave) the opportunity to come to LSU and get paid peanuts. When they predictably said "no" he offered the job to O which was the plan all along.

So tell me what the market value is for Herman. What we would have had to pay to outbid Texas? Market value for a guy with 2 years HC experience with a great season and an OK one. With a program built by Briles and Sumlin. Both of which put up better offensive numbers.

Sumlin wen 13-1 with Houston as well.

$5-6M

but that's besides the point. the important number in my statement was 2

Alleva looked at 2 guys, threw a temper tantrum, and prematurely hired O for no reason

he did not engage in a search. he did not look at all of our options.

Probably could've got him for about $4M LAST year if Les had been properly fired.
