re: Today's Rabalais article is very interesting!

Here is the problem with the Rabalais article.

1) He says lsu needs to rock the football world. however, he concludes by saying Jimbo is the safer pick and Herman is a risk.

If you want to be great, if you are firing a coach because he was to conservative, Then why the hell are you going to demonstrate the same quality and go with the safer/more conservative option?

If you want to make the big splash, you want to make the pick that will send waves through the football world that you are serious about trying to be the next dominate program, you don't play it safe, you take the risk because you believe he is the guy to unseat THE GUY.

Most successful people had to take a "risk" to become successful. This is the same situation as when florida hired Urban Meyer from Utah. You take the risk, you go after the guy with the most potential and highest ceiling. Would Jimbo be a fantastic hire? absolutely. However, if we are talking about sending a message to college football powers, herman is the guy.

I usually don't get on board with an up and comer type. however, this guy is different. He's been at a big program, he's been in championship's, he's been the head guy, he's shown recruiting, defense, and the ability to be innovative.
