A. AD at Texas
B. AD at Oregon
C. AD at Notre Dame
D. Jimmy Sexton, answering calls from A, B, and C.

Or

E. Alleva calling the agent of whoever he has the deal with (think of it as a silent committment) making sure he isn't going to change his mind and commit to A, B or C.

Do you think Alleva has a "deal" or "gentlemans agreement" made already?

Would love for you to be right!!

What happened to your thread from yesterday? Was trying to find that longhorn link, and it appears your post was deleted.

After being an amateur follower of the Coaching Carousel for 20+ years, I have come to the conclusion that the normal rule for an AD to operate with is: Don't fire a coach until you know who his replacement is.

When a coach leaves for another job (say Jimbo comes to LSU) then the AD probably doesn't know who his replacement will be. But, when a coach is fired, an AD doesn't walk into the president's office and say, "I'm gonna fire the HC today. We need to get a job opening ad ready so we can start the hiring process."

That's my working hypothesis. But, I'm just an amateur follower. I know nothing.

I truly hope you are correct. I just have a tough time putting my faith in Alleva and F. King. After last years stupidity, hopefully, they are smart enough to handle this hire in an appropriate manner.

Funny how you go to a UT board and people aren't really that confident in getting Herman, but the Texas fans on TD seem to believe he is destined to coach in Austin next year.

It's the Texas fans who might actually have legit sources who are on Texas boards. The ones here are just hoping with the usual UT arrogance.

It got deleted for some reason. Luckily I still had the link to the thread in my cache. I was looking for Bret75's thread this morning too!

I hope that guy is right, but Sexton isn't Herman's agent is he?

Just a little more information. Something that y'all may like, but something I might get nervous over.

I went to that Longhorn thread and the guy who started it posted this:

quote:

He just texted me. He said keep an eye on Jimbo Fisher. I'm not thrilled.


Now, if that happens I could be a real jerk and say, "See, I told y'all that LSU had an agreement with Herman before they fired Miles." But, along with that making me a jerk, it would make me a liar.

It would not surprise me to see Herman at LSU and Jimbo at Texas. But, if it happens, I can claim nothing more than saying, "Well, that is one of several logical scenarios that were reasonable on October, 9."

Y'all hang in there. Whoever you get, he will look like a great hire on paper. And, if Jimbo is your guy, then we at FSU will hire someone who looks like a great hire on paper.

The problem is they don't play football on paper, they play it on grass.

I saw that too. I'm glad you just share information rather than trying to be an insider. Makes it much easier to have a discussion with someone like this. Thanks for all the posts.

Um, certainly not YOU, because you sure as hell ain't picking up the phone to verify truth before running with your "source."

You ARE right about that. You are also an amateur "journalist/sports writer".

FYI, my "sources" say you are a douchebag. Story at 11....

Folks, this Bret75 guy is none other than Brett McMurphy, the same "journalist" who claimed LSU "declined" UF's "offer" to reschedule on 11/19. LINK

According to his "source." The same jackass that Alleva called out as a L.I.A.R. Feel free to believe his "inside information" at your own risk.
