re: If it is Herman...How long does the LSU fan base give him to succeed?

Tough to say. In a 'what have you done for me THIS MORNING' world that we live in, 3+ years seems to be the going rate.

LSU proved with Miles its willing to have some patience, but his past probably gave him a longer leash.

You also have to look at how the team is progressing. I like Strong, and thought he would do well at UT once he cleaned house, but unfortunately they don't appear to be moving forward.
