Or they would have eventually said "Screw it" too and LSU would have had themselves a 9 million dollar a year former Houston head coach.

Lol I'm sure, but as soon as they entered the picture he did the wise thing and quit. No way he'll win in a game of high stakes poker against them, but Herman and his slick agent still got paid a national championship's coaching salary, the bastards.

Of course LSU went home, but Herman is getting 5 mil a season and that is because of LSU. That's what I'm talking about when I said drove the price up. I doubt Texas pays him that if the threat of LSU hiring him is not there


I don't believe that's how it has been reported it went at all.

- LSU sets sights on Herman
- Herman is interested.
- Texas fires Strong.
- Herman expresses intrest to speak to Texas.
- Alleva bows out like a bitch, instead of getting into the bidding war you think happened.

We may not have gotten Herman. He may have been dead set on going to Texas, but we will never know. We didn't try.

This is flat out dumb.

Is that what Ohio State did when they wanted their man?

Is that what Michigan did when they wanted their man?

Is that what Alabama did when they wanted their man?

Is it a coincidence that those teams will be in the national title pictures every single season?

No doubt... and how shocked would anyone be to find out that May got a bag o; cash to have that little tirade?

Those agents are definitely playing chess instead of checkers and getting a story like that onto ESPN in the middle of the biggest game of Thanksgiving day would be worth a few dollars.

Dude, you keep misinterpreting what I am saying. I am basically saying Herman got 5 mil because of the threat of LSU just being there. I'm not saying LSU had the intentions of getting into a bidding war with Texas you stupid frick. Stop over blowing shite!

Good find.

I wish it was on a more prominent, national news site so that a-hole could be exposed a little more for the piece of shite he is. Instead, it's on a freaking Northwest Arkansas site . NWA

What do you think he would have gotten otherwise. I would say 5 is about as low as he would have taken. He lost out on probably another 2-3 mill since Aleva took away the LSU option.

He's getting paid 5 mill bc LSU was out...not bc they were in.

Nobody was paying Herman 8 million a year to be their coach.

I'm guessing something similar to a marsh fire. That really is a thing

I used to watch ESPN all day. I never put it on now, except for games. Where are my god damn strongman competitions at midnight?

This is what I thought. Alleva bailed to early.
