I have a feeling this might be the guy.
Looking at interviews and reading his bio and past success, this guy looks like the real deal.
Its a risk for sure, but all hires are a risk to some extent.

Herman is going to be a good hire by LSU.

Some would melt if it happened for sure, but I wouldn't.
I would love it.
The dude sets records everywhere he has gone.

frick no. Might as well save the 15 mil and keep miles and all the recruits.

I agree with all of that. I think in this case risk is worth the reward if Kiffin could keep O and Wilson I would be all for the hire. And I am intrigued by Herman.

FWIW:
I work in HS athletics (FB) in Texas for the past 15 years. Have had athletes under my supervision sign with every major conference and most major programs in Texas and the SEC, so I have seen my fair share of college coaches through my office (including the guy in Tuscaloosa). Without a doubt, Tom Herman is my favorite college coach of all time. This goes back to his time at Rice and Iowa State, before he made it big. He is hands down the best at relating to kids, their parents, their coaches, their teachers, etc. He just happens to be a savant when it comes to football offense.
Quick Cool Story Bro: This summer some colleagues and I were touring UH athletic facilities. Our tour guide works in the FB office and walked us into a staff meeting Herman and his crew were in the middle of having. Coach Herman instantly remembered me, gave me dab on the back and proceeded to talk to me for 20 minutes, most of which he was asking about my school, our principal (who he remembered by name and alma-mater), and some of my former kids he recruited and some he signed; all this while his staff waited. All of it genuine. The guy will be one of the greats, hope he makes his mark wearing that yella shirt.

One more point about everyone that thinks we need to wait to find a more seasoned coach....
Simple fact is, CFB landscape has a year shelf life now. Whatever was popular, unpopular, good, bad, or mediocre, can change in a year. Case in point, 3-4 years ago UT and TAMU got pick of the litter in Texas for recruits. Around 2-3 years ago that changed and now Baylor and TCU have been signing better classes. Within one year, Herman has made UH a destination school, most of my current seniors would much rather get recruited to be a Coog rather than a Longhorn (i know that sounds crazy to anyone older than 23, but its the truth). We live in an instant communication age, and kids want whats hot now (not what we, our parents, or our grandparents thought was hot).

I don't necessarily want him, but kudos on 2 fine posts.
Posted on 11/25/15 at 9:23 pm to LSU Jax
I hope to hell he's not. We need a guy who knows how to successfully run and manage everything that comes with a big time program.

Cool story, means nothing though.

"Could explain the leak. Maybe Alleva and BOS saw they were about to lose him to USUCK and leaked the info and told him he's the guy they want.
He's who I hope we wind up with."
Hell no. That dude has 1 year head coaching exp. Care to have Curley Halman all over again? Thats what happened there, he had one badass year because of Brett Farve as his QB. Even if you discount that you are taking a HUGE chance hiring him.

I see Herman as Mullen 2.0
Posted on 11/26/15 at 3:36 am to CBandits82
He and Mullen are my favorite two by far.
