re: "Tom Herman doesn't view the Texas job as better than the LSU job"

"We'll...Let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet"

FTR let's all keep in mind that Tom Herman hasn't actually said anything, this is Tom Herman's agent doing his job.

One point I haven't seen made....herman has already turned around Houston and made them a contender. It was a rebuilding job from the bottom up. He's been there done that, and this is probably the ceiling for Houston football. Texas would be starting the same grind over. Trying to change culture from the bottom up again.
Lsu would be different. He hasn't had many elite athletes like he'd walk in on here. Lsu would be an opportunity for him to compete at the highest level from the very beginning. All the pieces are here, just need somebody to assemble it. Take Lsu from good to great. That's got to be more exciting than another rebuilding job.

That's my sales pitch. And Joe Alleva, if you're reading this, you're free to use it.

Honestly my biggest worry is the Austin angle with his wife and her socialite predilections.

So make her Queen of The Spanish Town Parade. If she gets a look at Hollydays, she's hooked as well!

Herman's agent is smart. He doesn't want an school knowing his plans. To get more money from one school, they will play up interest at other schools. Herman is getting paid.

So you're bitching about constant threads, as a bama fan, on an LSU messageboard? This isn't the SEC rant. Take your arse back over there.

Why do people keep saying this? Texas put together back to back top 10 classes the last 2 years. I know they took 58 guys which is a ton, but it isn't like Texas is devoid of talent. In that Period LSU has taken 3 more 5*, but 2 less 4* guys. 31 4 and 5* guys for LSU in that period and 30 for Texas. Texas has talent and could be really good next year

Texas will pay a shite ton of money if they think they have to.

So will LSU... Texas may have more disposable income but LSU can match for what Texas will offer. Texas will not offer $10-million a year.
