I think it's been Herman from the beginning and his team knew so

I will be thrilled if that is how it turns out but I would LOVE COACH O to be Asst. HC and Head of LSU Recruiting and stay forever. He is a rare gem for LSU if he will stay. I mean he is in his mid 50's wouldn't stability at LSU be good for him.

Sadly, the Coach O drum will only grow stronger. We have 2 teams left on the schedule that even if we still had Les, we'd beat. UF has a shite offense and has multiple injuries on the Dline. + Aranda's D.

A&M will be playing their backup QB and still can't stop the run for shite. + Aranda's D.

And i think Randoms update after the game this weekend will be something along the lines of "It's Coach O's job to lose. If he beats A&M, the job is his."

Yup

This sucks so much

People already acting like the support of Miles towards O but we win these games regardless

We need a new direction from a lineman lovable HC

We need to stop settling

Great, very well thought out post Captain Want. Putting myself in the shoes of a rabid LSU fan I would want Thomas Herman to be the HC with Aranda staying on as DC. Aranda staying would be a deal breaker though. Herman would be a good fit in Red Stick and I'm certain he would keep yalls homegrown, top five highschool talent instate. Herman + Aranda worries me. Jimbo doesn't worry me so much although I know damn well that whomever the HC of LSU is, y'all are always going to be a force to be reckoned with.

You're giving the LSU administration way way too much credit if you think they're being clever with the Jimbo talk

Link?

This is pretty much the exact opposite of what I've heard. My stepson goes to UT and he says Strong is as good as gone.

Herman to Texas; Jimbo to LSU. Yes, it's just that simple.

LINK This matches up with radio reports in Austin according to other posts here. Strong looks more and more likely to stay, due to interim AD and perception.

ETA - And, if Herman has told UT no, he's somehow not going there, that also would cause UT to keep Strong.

But even if it's rumors, it could mean a pay raise at FSU. If he debunks it, he eliminates that leverage.

BINGO!
Jimbo is smarter than that, he would be a fool to make an absolute statement like that. You're always more valuable with one foot out of the door.

The more I read and put things together, we've made a change at an ideal time to hunt for a replacement. Hopefully we have the guts to go and get the best guy and don't fall victim to what's easy.

LOL that's about the weakest link I've ever seen. Have you not read the Longhorn message boards? The people in Austin want Strong fired yesterday. He's a dead man coaching right now.

After finishing only his second year on the job at 8-5, I would hope so. LSU should just hire the guy as OC if they want to lose to the SMU's of the SEC.


Isnt Houston 9-2?

From what I have been told Strong has already been told he is going to be let go at seasons end. That comes from a booster that should know considering his name is prominent amongst none big money UT boosters!!!

I hope the hell I am wrong, my first choice is Herman and that didn't change even after SMU and Navy!

Everyone I know, every single friend in Austin, plus my stepson who attends school there, say that Strong is on borrowed time. They're just not going to fire him until the season is completed.

Read my post a little better he isn't on borrowed time, his time is OVER at UT and he has been informed of this!

I sure hope you're right, captain. Herman is the only hire that will make me dance around the house
