yea i don't see Herman staying long term at houston. Texas and A&M both look like they aren't going to be making a move this year. So that puts us up near the top for him.

I don't see anyway houston gets in the big 12. Texas, Texas Tech, TCU and Baylor aren't going to want to let them in. They didn't invite them to the party when the swc broke up. TCU got in after being left out the first time but I don't think they would vote Houston in. The TV sets don't change much and why would OU and Okie State want them in.

You'll have your shot at the Falcons tomorrow. We both suck, but y'all suck worse

what team has he left on probation?
he hasn't left a team on probation. What he did was stupid


He has done nothing but stupid shite his whole career. The longest he has ever been in one spot has been 4 years (despite signing a 10-year contract at Louisville the 1st time). He left them for Atlanta one year into that contract after saying he was where he wanted to be. I'm saying what I'd be worried about because the first time he left Louisville, they had to kick 21 players that he recruited off of the team after he left. They said he recruited some rough players and their numbers suffered as a result. They were pretty shitty following his departure for about 5 years.

He then quit on the Falcons in the middle of his 1st season and left a sticky note for the team.

The Arkansas thing was a complete disgrace and they sucked and went winless in the SEC after he left.

You open your program to a lot of issues by dealing with someone like Petrino. It's fun while you got him, but it doesn't last long and there is always a mess to clean up afterward.

Harsin? Where was Urban Meyer before coming to Florida? It was some Mountain West school wasn't it??? Harsin took over right where Petersen left off and also enjoys having a balanced spread offense.

Mullen is a meh hire. - Mullen has consistently won 8-9 games a year in the SEC West with recruiting leftovers. He takes raw dual threat QBs and makes them serviceable at worst. His defense is usually average, but it's more from lack of talent IMO. They lost a lot of last year's team, so he is struggling hard this year.

Brohm? - Brohm coached under Bobby Petrino and has Western Kentucky on an upswing going from back to back 8-5 seasons to 12-2 last year. His offense is explosive and he utilizes the running back a great deal. He'd be able to put all this receiving talent we have to great use.

Gundy? - Gundy has been very successful at Okie St despite being little bro to Oklahoma and gets the recruiting scrapes. He has finished with double digit wins 4 of his past 6 seasons despite the talent gap. Only twice in the past 6 years has his team not finished in the top 22 of total offense. Only once in that same span, they didn't finish in the top 15 of scoring offense. From 2010-2012 they were top 3 in scoring offense and total offense.

Pair these guys with a top DC, and you have a potent LSU squad.

Petersen is at his dream job and his kid's doctors are all up there.


I saw you say this yesterday. For the longest Boise St was supposed to be his "dream job", yet he left it after people kept saying he wouldn't. Fisher's kid's doctors are in Florida yet he was damn near signed to come here last year according to most people.

Saying his kids doctors are in Washington doesn't mean much at all, and saying that freaking Washington is his dream job is just ridiculous! Petersen isn't the type to be swayed by money and the like, he wants a good fit. If LSU, Baton Rouge, and the culture of Louisiana can provide that, then he would definitely come down here.

Guy has turned around both programs he's been at so far


LOL, no he hasn't. How can you consider one good year at SJSU turned around? How can you consider 3 wins in his first 4 games (to Colorado St, crappy Oregon, and an FCS school), turned around? In all likelihood he losses 6 more games and finishes 5-7.

If Houston gets accepted into the Big 12 then Herman makes > 5 million a year. Houston will match us along with USC & Texas & the NFL. If we were the only team going after Herman or only choice I would give us better odds.

Herman 15%

Jimbo, let's hope FSU falls a few more times and Fisher stops feeling the love. LSU made a run at Fisher but both sides backed away.

Fisher 25%

Petrino is all about winning. You have to look past some of his boneheaded moves. If believe the man deserves a second chance then you take him.

Petrino 35%

no coach is turning down a shot at the nfl. That is a silly thing to hold against him. Also not uncommon for players to be kicked when a new coach comes in. I bet the new coach will have to kick a few of les Miles players off.

He realized it wasn't working out, and from I remember arky gave him a huge pay raise. Also with the Falcons I'm pretty sure that is the year that Vick got busted for his dog fighting so he didn't have the team he thought he was getting.

The arky thing was a disgrace but that is because he put her on pay roll that is the only reason he was fired. Coaches frick around on their spouse all the time, he did the really dumb thing of getting her a job. I think he fixed it.

I agree their is potential for issues with him, but LSU would actually likely be his last stop. He isn't going to the nfl, he isn't leaving for anyone. LSU is a top 10 school so its really hard to move up when you have this job unless you go NFL, which know he wont be doing. So his job hopping isn't an issue.

I do think it could be an issue if he comes and say 10 years down the road retires but if we have 2 titles id consider it worth cleaning up after. He hasn't gotten a team into ncaa which is the biggest concern. plus arky hired John L smith in a pinch and then brought in someone that was the complete opposite of Petrinos system. Its easy to see why Bert struggled early.

This is still a hell of a longshot, regardless of what a couple Texas politicians posturing for votes say.

Adding Houston to the Big 12 would have an immediate negative impact on every team in that conference without adding any benefit.

If you have a chance to grab Petrino then you have to get him bottom line. LSU creates an iron clad contract that's what lawyers are for.

no herman gets a bonus of 5 million if houston gets in the big 12. I still don't see them getting in. They bring no new TV, they haven't established themselves like TCU did for years after being left out in the cold. I don't think they have the support of anyone other than say WVU and Iowa State

He's had like 11 chances. He is an awesome offensive coordinator, but there have always been issues with him and he'll leave you after 1 year for more $.

Dude Houston is getting and it's a political deal. The Big 12 has nobody in the top 15 and Houston market has been strong. Out of state schools are actually bitching about not being able to recruit Texas wirh Houston in conference.

Again, it's a political thing and the Texas schools won't buck the governor and politicians.

Has never recruited the South. Never coached East of Utah.


He can sell himself at LSU. I'd take him. He will keep the D going but provide discipline to the O. Which is sorely needed.

Asking for trouble. Now, if they decide to hire O and offer Kiffin the offense - maybe on a trial basis.


That's laughable. Did you read your post before submitting.

He has a sweet gig, why would he even entertain coming here on a "trial" basis. I question his head coaching abilities but certainly not his O coordinator abilities. He can run an offense.

The Big 12 isn't going to cave because of a couple of politicians posturing for votes. Literally no team in the big 12 wants to add Houston.

No dude he is an awesome HC and Offensive coordinator. If you can get an iron clad contract to where he can't pick up and go you won't make the deal?

I would ban bet you but we can't.

I'm not gonna argue but the governor wants them in and the big 12 needs another team that can contend for title. I'm done here.
