I'm glad I could assist. I just have a feeling this is gonna happen and I want folks to be pumped if it does.

Maybe Herman, but let's not pretend as though beating Stoops and Petrino is the same as taking down Bama on the road in early November.
Thats what I dont get about the non Jimbo people. Looking at everything on paper, Jimbo is the better hire. There is no argument.
Going off of what a coach might do based on very little evidence is risky.

My only concern is the SEC west of course that would be a concern for any head coach but Jimbos competition will drastically stiffen and there is zero argument here. I just think Herman is someone Saban isn't sure of and doesn't know well and LSU/Herman could take advantage of that. Both will still be better then Miles for sure, I'm not sure how much better Jimbo would be though?
Then again LSU could just fit him better you really never know how this might go. Me personally I can't see Herman failing I just can't see it. Hope LSU makes the correct call whom ever that is I hope he does well. GT

yep, look at Charlie Strong. Overwhelming success as a coordinator and at Louisville. Did not carry over.
I know there are theories as to the Texas boosters and admin setting him up to fail. But that's opinions at this point. Fact is he has failed.
Jimbo is a known commodity. Herman is not. I'd be pleased with Herman, but more comfortable with Jimbo.

The reason some believe he's similar to Les is because of his record. That glaring loss to Louisville is what lost me though.
I wouldnt mind three to four losses every year as long as he can catch lightening in a bottle like he did with Jameis every 4 years. Fisher had stellar seasons with Winston and Manuel's final year.

Says the guy advocating for the 2nd year coach who's never been in a power conference.
I get wanting Herman, but using Competition against Jimbo while advocating for Herman Is downright ignorant.

Is it really though? I mean Ole Miss, Miss State, Arkansas are nothing special. Sure Auburn and Alabama and possibly ATM are good but so are clemson and Louisville and probably VTech now that they have Fuente.

There actually is an argument here. Bama is of course the best team in the country, and generally is. But after that, the SEC and the ACC aren't much different, and there is an argument that Clemson, Miami and Louisville are better than nearly anyone else in the SEC not named Bama.

how things shape up is one thing, but it's instantly 100% better than Miles as a hire and for the spark it will provide the fanbase.

I agree but folks said the exact same thing about Strong. And Muschamp for that matter. There are no "sure things".

TAMU is not good IMO

See youre just going on a gut feeling. Nothing based on facts or anything.

Besides Bama, was there any team on this years schedule that we shouldnt have beat?
With the talent we have at LSU, we are only under dogs in maybe 2 games a year. We play 3-4 cupcakes, 2 or so below average sec teams, and the rest of the 6 games we actually have to have a pulse to win. This isnt exactly murderers row like plenty make it out to be.

I think they're about as good as UNC. I think Fedora is a better coach than Sumlin too.
I think Dabo and Petrino are better than just about every SEC coach besides Saban. Maybe Mullen, but he doesn't recruit. McElwain is pretty good I guess, but frick him.

Yep.
Despite reservations Jimbo is probably the best option right now. Herman has faaar more unknowns.

You and hashtag have on me the Jimbo train. Good with Herm too but Jimbo is a solid option to help our most weakest position. Imagine just tightening that up. 11-1 seasons and playoffs for years to come.

The days of Bama, LSU and UF all having legit chances at winning a NC are over, currently.
Posted on 11/21/16 at 4:03 pm to cas4t
I'm prepared to celebrate Jimbomas as long as he's informed in no uncertain terms that this isn't a job where he gets to get all of his family members into caoching. He is expected to hire top flight assistants with experience beyond "is related to Jimbo." That's my only concern regarding him.
