re: Somebody please confirm contact with Herman

I can guarantee you someone with ties to LSU, that doesn't necessarily "work for LSU" has made contact with someone with ties to Tom Herman that may or may not "work for Tom Herman"

I can also guarantee you that if you hold your breath waiting for Joe Alleva and Tom Herman to be in the same room together chatting that you're going to be holding your breath for a few months.

There will be communication and negotiation between the parties, but that communication will only be made public if and when Herman is at the podium accepting the LSU job.
