If choices came down to these two "Kelly or Herman" who would you want?

Ok this is no disrespect to Coach O, this is just a hypothetical question I hope LSU wins out and if Coach O gets the job I will support him 1,000%. This is just a what if question.

At the end of the season, the coaching search came down to just 2 candidates "Chip Kelly & Tom Herman" and both were very interested in coming to LSU. Which coach would you like to see get the job and what is your reasoning?

Herman

Every teenager in Texas knows who he is and his reputation. That would be great for recruiting

Kelly's autism/awkwardness/homosexuality or whatever it is seems to have become somewhat of a drag on his career. Herman is an alpha dog, except for the kissing players thing.

Herman by far
Chip Kelly doesn't like to recruit and doesn't like to do the whole booster thing so I don't think he's the right fit in the sec.

Kids wanted to go play for him at Oregon because he was one of the first to run his kind of offense. Now over half of CFB runs something similar. It's also a finesse offense and you can't run finesse offenses in the SEC. that's why Ole Miss loses 3+ games a year with their talent, and Sumlin had to adjust his scheme to more power football

It's sad that you have to preface this question with that statement, but whatever.

Actually a pretty tough question. I guess i'll go with Chip. More proven. You know he's not going to be a bust.

Herman.


Kelly runs far less variety of plays than even Miles. Kelly runs a total of 4 different running plays.

I mean Kelly has the robust resume you're looking for. Those Oregon offenses struck fear into people's hearts. Then look what happened when he left. They're a laughingstock now.

I like Herman and would be elated if he became the HC, but I don't know how Kelly is an inferior choice to him somehow.

Herman with absolutely no hesitation. That's not even a question.

Wait, I thought you were one of those people suggesting Brian Kelly.

100% Herman.

The stars are aligned for LSU to get him.
He is going to be a major player in college football coaching...possibly the next Nick Saban IMO.

He will put some hardware in our trophy case.

Herman.

He's had success everywhere he's been. He's a great offensive mind and QB coach without needing everyone to fit a system.

Heard him say in an interview that you need to be physical in everything you do on offense. He's never heard a coach holding up a national championship trophy say "we out finessed them". He gets it and he is tailor made to do great things at a school like LSU.
