Herb Tyler on recruiting

And the parents should stay out of it as much as possible. He said too many parents try to get their kids to go to the school they want them to go to instead of having the kids interests at heart.

University of Hawaii would love that.

I think he mainly meant the type of parents that the coaches talk to more than they talk to the players.

I heard the interview too. He just called into the show as a regular caller. He was Herb from NO or something. He started talking about recruiting and said something like he is familiar with the process b/c he was the starting QB for LSU for a few years.

Bobby and Deke went silent for a sec and finally I think Bobby said something like wait is this Herb Tyler. It was kind of funny. He also said something like he thought his son might be a national recruit in a few years (I think he is in 6th grade).

He had some really good insight as how it is as a player and a parent as it pertains to recruiting.

Yeah, they said "why didn't you tell them who you were, we would have gotten to you a lot sooner."

Aw man, Herb really was the embodiment of those Dinardo return-to-glory days. He really was and still is one of my favorite tigers. Glad he's doing all right. I need to listen to Bobby more often...

Did he say what he is doing now? Coaching? Newman isnt cheap!

One of the few good memories I have of the Dinardo years.

The most disappointing thing about HT's career at LSU was Lou Tepper. Had DiNardo not brought him in and we had any kind of decent d whatsoever, HT would have been lSU's leading qb in victories.
The O was good enough to beat anybody and put up enough points to do so. Tepper's d was like a sieve. What a shame and it was made worse because HT came out of nowhere to win the starting qb job.

Anyone know of any highlights of his playing days? He was a fun QB to watch.

The "Jump Pass" was his signature move.
