Call it scared if you like but like it or not LSU is well behind Texas in how much we can pay for a coach.
Harbaugh makes $9 million or so. Saban $6.9 million. LSU can easily afford either of those salaries, and could match anything Texas would offer to pay a coach. It's not like Texas was going to offer $20 million per year for Herman. The only thing LSU couldn't match is the same thing Texas wouldn't be able to afford if they wanted to hire O, and that's the "dream job" incentive.
ETA: I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Alleva offered Jimbo $6.8 million for 5 years, and Sexton countered with 10 years, standard negotiating, but Alleva has no balls and just walked. If Alleva really wanted what's best for LSU football, and wanted to take the program to the next level, he would've gotten a deal done with Jimbo. Jimbo would've happily retired at LSU.
