This needed it's own thread as opposed to asking in one of the already 500 threads regarding Herman and UT

The booster culture at UT seems extremely toxic.

Not nearly as bad at LSU

Either school would give him frick you money so it's a wash.

It would have to be a situation like The Late Shift where Dave really wants The Tonight Show but CBS' deal was much better (not talking about money but control over the product)

1. Texas does not have an AD in place
2. LSU is ready to win next year, Texas needs some rebuilding
3. SEC > Big XII
4. Dave Aranda was his roommate in college, still friends today
5. LSU, at this point in time, is a better program than Texas

Only Herman can answer that.

If it were me, I would know both schools are going to pay me well, so you need to look beyond that.

What are the intangibles? For me, seeing how needy and meddling the boosters are at UT would be an absolute deal breaker. I want to do my job, and not be answerable to every Tom, Dick, and Harry who think they should have a seat at the table.

Boosters, treatment of previous and current coaches, the leaking of sauces


Chance to coach in the best conference, vs the best coaches and players.

Herman has a cakewalk to the playoffs in the big 12. Y'all are retarded. We are at best his second choice. I can live with that, I just don't want y'all to get your hopes up. Y'all are getting played

Maybe, just maybe it could somehow, possibly be because Texas does not have a job opening?

Better facilities
Better conference
Better roster
More success recently (last 16 years)
More control over the team and the program
We made out last coach successful instead of ruining his career

Because DALSU said it's a "Done Deal" and I want Herman to be the head coach so it must be true. frick logic and Alleva's history of sucking

Really? You can't see why a driven competitive young coach would want the biggest stage in college football? The richest recruiting grounds, the toughest opponents, the biggest paycheck...

This idea that UT is some dream job is very misguided. Austin is a shitshow. If everyone was beating down their door, how did they end up with Strong? That's a Moore State type of hire.

No meddling boosters. The state of the programs are Night and day. Texas is more than just rebuilding. It has deep imbedded systemic issues that cannot be changed overnight, 2 years or 5 years. Herman would have like 10 Jerry Jones in his ear everyday.
