Exactly, I can't see the UT job being any coach's "dream job"

But, in Texas you're recruiting (and getting beat on that standpoint)
This won't be the case for Hernan.

When Texas is good, the top kids from the state commit immediately. They dont even think about trips, they want to wear the burnt orange.

Yellow teeth would have his kids locked up, literally before the season started.

he would just fill in gaps during the season and up till signing day if needed.

You think Tom Herman is going biking on the weekends or going to the dive bars in Austin?


No but he has a wife and young kids and Austin is a nicer, cleaner, safer, better looking place with almost no crime and public schools that you can (and everyone does) send your kids to. It's got nothing to do with being a hipster.

UT might be his dream job but the cupboard is full here.

You don't see openings like this often. Texas is a clusterfrick

If Herman is really competitive then the LSU job will be even more appealing. You'd think part of him wants to coach against other top coaches and talented rosters.



Mind you the last time Texas had a vacancy they had to settle for someone on their "B" list. Everyone else declined them.

Austin is a much nicer city than Baton Rouge though.
Not true! I live in Austin. It is larger and therefore has more "places to go" and "things to do" but you have to fight the worst traffic in the country to go there. I also forgot to mention that for the first 30 years of my life, I lived in Baton Rouge so I am the person to compare them. Believe it or not the Texas sun is hotter than Louisianna. Summer here is just hell1

Exactly- and by the way, UT is not the job it once was- kids have grown up with UT questionable being in the top 5 best schools to play at in Texas. And USC? Bunch of bandwagon fans, no where near the enthusiasm as in the South.
My concern is whether LSU will seriously consider Herman- I really think LSU is not as high on Herman as people would think.

It's his dream job because he'll make an asinine amount of money, for which he will pay no state income taxes , he'll have an awesome spread on the bluff over looking Lake Travis, his kids will attend, arguably, the best public schools in the state, and last but not least, just win and you'll be treated like a god for the rest of your life...at his age legendary status is well within range.

USC . . . because how much nicer SOCal is . . .

You been to USC? Its in the middle of Watts dude. Not a safe area at all. Never has been, never will be. Sure you can see the skyscrapers downtown from upper stories in some campus buildings, but those are office buildings downtown. Not like NYC. Very little to no nightlife nearby.

Its only about 20 miles, but more like 2 hours in traffic to the beach from USC.

If one wants the LA experience as a coach, they coach at UCLA.
