This is a good point. You have to think he would hold out if contacted by LSU.

Or that they did and he chose USCe over L5U.



Not saying it's not possible, but this is very unlikely.

Or neither, since you guys still have a coach and it would be incredibly shitty to offer someone another guys job.



If Miles is going to be fired, the powers that be have already contacted their list of candidates. This happens all the time.

Atlanta Sports Guy ?@Atlantasportguy 12m12 minutes ago
South Carolina has reached a tentative agreement with Houston head coach Tom Herman per @sportstalksc

This guy? I remember this slap dick on here trying to get on the Georgia Sports board to share "insider" knowledge. Then he got all pissy when we said no. He is like a BR writer.

If there are other sources I'd believe it but this would be like any post here who claims to be "in the know"

a tentative agreement on an offer in principle


That's rock solid confirmation right there.

contingent on Herman and his wife liking what they see when they visit USC and Herman and Ray Tanner being comfortable with one another

So they came to a deal but haven't talked yet??

Tanner refutes Herman report
quote:

A report surfaced Tuesday evening that South Carolina has reached an agreement in principle with Houston head coach Tom Herman, contingent on all going as expected once the two sides meet in person. However, South Carolina athletics director Ray Tanner refuted that report when asked. “It's absolutely not true," Tanner said in a brief interview with John Whittle of TheBigSpur.com and Josh Kendall of The State newspaper.

Very interesting that Phil Kornblut is reporting it. He's a pretty solid source. For those that don't know he is probably the most well known recruiting reporter in SC and has hosted his "sports talk" radio show for over 20 years now it seems. He's generally pretty accurate with his information.

Tanner probably hates this crap. He doesn't want any potential deal to be blown up because of the media.

Look at the USCe posters in here for confirmation on the source.

Firing your solid coach before you have a "superstar" hire already in the bag is so dangerous. There are too many intangibles here. It looks to me like you don't have anyone locked down yet. Which is why Leslie's departure hasn't been announced. This could still go very wrong for LSU.

What the hell is he going to say, "Well damn't, I guess the cat's outta the bag"?

This is how they all talk around this time. Guys say one thing then within 2 weeks they are at that place.

We are just hoping that Navy beats Houston so we don't have to sit around for an extra week waiting for Houston's regular season to end.
