LSU passed on another young football genius years ago. In fact we hardly gave him the time of the day. That was Steve Spurrier who went on to beat the crap out of us every chance he got. Herman has turned around Houston in one year and put up some big scores while going 10-1. He is member of Mensa and was a Presidential Scholar. He is young and has a great history if you read his bio. If we do not sign him somebody will and our chance at attracting a great a QB will be lost. F.Franks has already pulled his verbal. This fact has been one of our major problems. His buy out is not out of reach. If we do not move on him Texas or USC will. So lets get behind him and push for the AD, TAF and the Board to sign him ASAP.

He is a sexy pic. But, there is also no denying he is much higher risk than Jimbo. High risk/reward scenario.

I think Jimbo would reunite the fanbase, but Herman could do the same, but he would have to win over a few folks first.

Dude has 1 year of head coaching experience in a conference that includes Tulane, UCF, and SMU. He just lost to UConn, having scored 3 points going into the 4th quarter. I'm not even remotely sold on the idea of walking Miles out the door (to the tune of $15 million) to bring in Tom Herman.

Spurrier was playing for conf titles at Duke, and had been a Professional Head Coach already.

Ron Roberts.
Led SELU to its first ever playoff birth. Loves Juco's, we
Would never have a "young" team. Likes to spread the ball around. Recruits Cali and the west coast really well. Cali guys mixed with the south =tGoat replacement

Miles really wasn't some great coach when we hired him. What's the difference? At least this guy can develop a QB and he seems like a good recruiter.

Iowa State... He was Their off. co. and QB coach. Read his bio. You will be impressed!

It should be Chip Kelly

and its not close


The guy is proven and is likely better now than he was after his NFL stint.


The man is not married and does nothing other than football. Its his life . Oregonians loved him as there coach but knew he was a dick.

Perfect Homerun hire for LSU

IDK if Herman would want to leave UH. For two reasons, He's already making $3M at a non-P5 school (Yes, I know LSU could pay him more). Also, don't be surprised if Houston gets an invite to the Big 12 after this season (especially if the Big12 isn't represented in the CFBP.). He would probably have an easier path to a championship if he stays at UH.

Besides all that has been said, he is 40 years old.
A HUGE plus for me.

Too many coaches coast on the fame that they have already earned and are no longer hungry.

Herman was the OC at Iowa st when they beat ok st. Which allowed a bama rematch against lsu in the title game. So he's already cost us 1 championship

If we hire Tom Herman we're going through a coaching search again in 3 years.
