re: For Herman: Louisiana vs Los Angeles?

Herman and his wife met while they were both attending Cal Davis. He wants the Texas job the most and I think he will stay at UH if he thinks it will open up in a year. Both Texas and USC have easier paths to the playoff than LSU. The fans also have lower expectations than those in Baton Rouge. And both Los Angeles and Austin are nicer places to live than Baton Rouge. The taxes in L.A. are an issue but there are ways to alleviate that pain to some degree. If Texas continues to have a down year, look for Herman to stay at UH if the Longhorns don't fire Strong.
