re: Herman's guys didn't leak this...it was UT boosters...

How would the UT Admin dipshits know about the LSU deal?

Yea, did he tell them to leak it to ESPN and every Texas site out there? How is Toms agent going to explain to him how he told Texas about this and they leaked it a day before his game? Tom will be furious.

Do you honestly think that Hermans agent wouldn't have thought it was a very big possibility that this would leak everywhere after he told a booster who wants his client to coach at a rival school? Seriously? Do you think is his agents first rodeo?

These agents make a lot of money, they don't leak things to anyone "just because". There is always a reason or angle that they are trying to work.

Texas boosters would be desperate enough to do this especially considering the debacle their last two weeks have been.

1. Secretly telling a single booster about this information.

2. Getting this out in the public domain where every Texas booster and fan gets up in a frenzy to put pressure on their administration to do something.

You can tell just by looking at this forum for the last two hours that option 2 is the best way to get the people moving.

Dude, just stop trying to win this argument, you aren't and you won't.

So was it boosters that leaked it or his agent? Because what I said is right. He DID tell the boosters, the boosters leaked it. That's what happened, their fingerprints are all over this sh*t. How does that help y'all get Herman? Instead of offering him a deal to counter, they leak it? All to stall so you guys can fire your coach? You are delusional if you don't think that's what's going on here.

If the agent told a UT booster. The agent leaked it. Why would the agent tell a UT booster about a LSU deal?

UT Booster:"We (some boosters) want Herman to be our coach"
Herman Agent: "Sorry, deal with LSU has been made"
UT Booster: (calls up other boosters that want Herman) "shite guys! Hermans got a deal with LSU already. How can we sabotage it?"

Ok, for the thousandth time to make this crystal clear.

An agents job is not to negotiate with a booster. A booster does not make the final decision. The only thing a booster can do is put pressure on certain people to make a decision but again, said booster is not the person who decides to to hire as coach.

There are Texas boosters who want to keep Strong, there are boosters who want Herman, there are boosters who don't want either one.

The only incentive to tell this to a booster in the "get Herman" camp is because you know he's going to get it everywhere which will then put pressure on the administration to move in fear that they'll miss out on Herman.

In a nutshell you are playing checkers, the agents are playing chess.

That is one way to look at it. The other way is, Herman wants the Texas job. Texas has not been able to send admin to talk to him since they have a coach right now. Think it may be a NCAA rule? UT Chancellor has got involved. Wants to wait till after the game to talk. Agent protecting his client leaks story to put pressure on Texas.
