I hope Alleva realizes this. We can get Herman for 3.5 -4.0 MM/yr, which will offset the erroneous perception of the size of the incremental costs incurred for a non-Miles coach change (especially when Miles gets a new gig that reduces the yearly debt owed to Miles). Herman is 40. He came of age as the game was transformed. His tutelage is impressive. His resume is impressive. His persona us impressive. His future will be legendary. I hope he is ours instead of a coach we face over the next 2+ decades. He us cheaper now (for the transition), and unlike Jimbo, only will rise to the top salary after he wins a natty, and then would get such a pay level, and then it would be more than warranted/acceptable. Alleva: I completely hope you are strongly engaged in the Herman acquisition potential. UH is raising his salary to 3MM/year, so he can be had for a lot less than Jimbo, and in 10 years, is very possibly a household college football name. He already us among those who really understand the college football status and trend(s). I hope you are among those who realize this. QB development, offensive philosophy/competence and Saban-beating are LSU's biggest needs, and Herman offers these 3 critical areas, and my h more, all in a disciplined man with an innovative mind, with a great 2 decades of football ahead of him. That's my Herman pitch. I hope Sexton gets too cute, and that Herman is our guy.

I think you guys should consider cutting your losses. First you could compromise. You wanted Fisher and Muschamp. How about you just hire old Mussie as HC? I guarantee he'd jump. His only condition would be that you work Georgia Southern into the schedule. He wants some payback!

That failing, I hear Al Golden is sitting by the phone, all dressed up and no where to go.
