re: Why did our "top 3" include 2 we couldn't afford?

We still saved money that we can spend on a very good OC.

Herman's hc record is 10x better than O's. If he isn't worth over a million then O isn't worth over 100k. O eventually would be a failed product of Alleva and both would need to be shown the door.

Because the current LSU administration is committed to "okay", not excellence.
But if they tip their hand on that to the fanbase too soon, the pitchforks and torches will start coming out.

We offered Jimbo 6.5 + and he wanted more. Thats not going cheap. We could've offered Herman 8 million and he would've still gone to Texas

The difference there is you would have at least tried.

This was a proactive move. LSU can now monitor the young coaches with potential to see who can build the best resume's over the next 2-4 years IF O fails without any financial repercussions.
Alleva should have been doing this since the day he got here. Every AD is supposed to have a "list in the drawer" of coaches in case of emergency. What's obvious is since the day he got to LSU, Ed Orgeron's name was the only name on the list.

Was that a surprise? Was Aleva under the impression that he was going to get either for less than $5 million? 2 of the most sought after coaches in college football?
If "value" was a concern why not have more lower priced options under consideration?

It's no shock Herman would get a $5 mil offer. Kirby Smart makes almost $4 mil per year. Charlie Strong made $5 mil per year at UT. Hell, Dereck Mason made $2.5 mil at Vandy.
I think LSU would have paid 5M for Herman.

College football is not a free market and doesn't operate like one.

Couldn't afford or weren't willing to pay for? Big difference.
This right here. I wonder if money was in the back of our admins minds

Because O was always the plan

this grand strategy to revolutionize CFB by going cheap on the HC to blow up the coordinator market is going to be glorious to watch unfold

Herman wasn't coming to LSU. What was said all along about him and texas was true. LSU was going to pay him more than he got from texas, he said no.
It's time for people to understand that LSU doesn't have a blank check or brinks truck to throw around. After jimbo and herman the pick of coaches was pretty slim. No, they were not lining up to coach her. Yes I know it hurts to read that, but it's true.
