I hope that it is true and that he is out of the running. IF the rationale for hiring Tom Herman was that we want a proven coach, I still don't see where Herman is any better than what we already have. He's done ok, but he's dropped games this season against teams that they should have beaten and strikes me as another Sumlin. Do not want.

For me, if they aren't bringing in Jimbo, then Coach O is the man. They can GTFO with that Fedora talk


I don't think it happens. But I like Herman. He's done some collaborating with Saban. I like the Ohio state pedigree.

all still speculation, even with the unofficial contacts being made (they're occurring, but it's speculatory at this point).


I like that you preferace the post with its "speculation", as opposed to made up sources.

Triples are great better than a swing and a mess.

Good point on the buyout. Never considered the scale down.

That $5,000,000 buyout decreases to $3,000,000 on January 1st by the way.

This was discussed this morning. I just can't see lsu waiting a month and missing out on that recruiting time for $2m. Maybe that does factor in though.

I listen to both the Fan in Austin and 97.5 and 790 In Houston. UT is a big boiling mess. So big of a mess, I don't know how giddy Herman is for opting for Austin and walk into a massive shite show. in booster fighting, still butt hurt over the Saban rejection which was more to do with Mack. He will have boosters that will demand him to beat Oklahoma and win the Big 12 or bye. They make bama boosters enjoyable to be around..

That's a great point for sure. I suppose it depends on whom Jimbo would like to retain at LSU 'off the record'. They could continue to recruit until it's official.

That's all speculation though, obviously. I'm feeling more like y'all now. He'd probably be announced the Monday after FSU vs Florida game.

I'm not sold on herman either, i'd like someone with a few more skins on the wall...but to the point i was going to make regarding the quoted part, since about week 3, his players have heard his name mentioned for LSU, and now just about every other job out there. i'm sure its pretty hard to keep having the TEAM buy into the TEAM CONCEPT when they all see the writing on the wall of his departure.
