Jimbo has checked out at fsu. I'm sticking to it, he'll be the coach here next year

Agreed, personally I think it's verbally done and has been, save maybe the signatures.

Herman may very well end up being the better coach, time will tell, but the Jimbo-LSU "fits" just make Jimbo a slam-dunk easy hire... Probably one of the easiest home run run hires in CFB history, which is crazy since he's obviously got a great gig at Florida State.

His success, offensive background and philosophy, connections and recruiting, QB development, all - on paper - put LSU in title contention immediately and pave the way for a seamless transition into the post-Miles era.

I have no doubt LSU is going to cover its bases in case something crazy goes down (Herman, Fedora, Mullen, etc), but I think all signs point to Jimbo or O at this point.

It's really a pretty easy call... 2 realistic home run hires out there as far as the public is concerned; Jimbo and Herman. One is a known, safe pick, the other is an unknown gamble with limited experience. I get the attraction to Herman, I really do, but there's no way LSU takes Herman over Jimbo if both are willing to come. IMO the only way it gets to Herman is if Jimbo passes or makes crazy demands, Which I don't believe he will.
