Why does everyone think Herman to UT is a done deal ?

LSU is a more attractive job now. UT used to be king of Texas. Not anymore. And that isn't gonna change anytime soon. Even Saban wanted no part of it when UT wanted to give him $100 million. UT isn't where every kid in Texas wants to go to anymore. Won't matter who the coach is. TCU, aTm, Baylor, and even TT are places some of these kids want to go over UT these days. And coaches like Herman aren't scared to compete against Saban, they want that challenge. They want to measure their abilities against the best. And LSU can pay him just as much as UT can these days. So I just don't get why so many think UT is the better job...

It's not. The only thing UT has over LSU is Austin is a better city than Baton Rouge. That's it.

Reviving Texas to national prominence has luster of its own. I'm with you, but prepare to be downvoted by the committee to elect Ed Orgeron.

if I HAD to put money on a school that I think Herman will be at next year I'd put it on LSU.

You need to get this kind of shite out of your head stat. If you think for one second that recruiting a coach or recruits to LSU is easier than UT then you probably need to travel a bit more and get your head out of your arse. It's like two cities with terrible traffic, inexplicable traffic, even and while one college may be more appealing football-wise at the moment, the other isn't in Baton Rouge and is in one of the most desirable cities to live in this country. The other is in a relative shithole with comparable traffic and one of the least desirable places to live in this country. LSU is great, I loved my time there and anyone who goes will get what they put into it. Just stop with the ignorant notion that every coach or recruit on Earth is dying to be in BR, it'll help you sleep at night.

Sorry dude, Im an Lsu fan, but your wrong on some things.
Ut will be king of Texas again as soon as they start winning.
Saban didnt want part of UT because why leave the perfect machine you have built. He seems to be doing fine at Bama and will for as long as he coaches.
Lol, I mean really, have you been to College Station, Waco, or Lubbock? No college athlete would choose those over Austin.
Mack Brown pretty much quit recruiting, and gave offers off of video tape of the player Sophmore and Junior year. Thats why the talent level got so low.
Sure Herman isnt afraid of competition, but he would want to beat Saban in the national championship game. Its easier to get there from the big 12.
The only big negatives to Ut are the power brokers, longhorn network commitments, and over the top expectations from the cesspool people.
I like your spirit and I love Lsu. I agree lsu is a great job, but Ut is equal if not better.
It may simply come down to which place Herman's wife and family would be happier. If so I bet Austin wins.

Texas should be the best job in America, but their administrative arrogance, booster drama, and crumbling conference make the job way more trouble than its worth. Its similar to Notre Dame in that regard, and remember that Hermans former boss Urban passed on Notre Dame (which really IS his dream job) for Florida.
Herman and Herbstriet are friends as well, and he called the job a cesspool last week, so Texas better hope Herman doesnt ask around for any advice.

I'm not sure why you are getting downvoted so much.
Herman wil be the Head coach at LSU next year most likely. The big 12 is a shite conference on the decline.

Have a very good friend that is a big time UT booster he is connected in the athletic department and his quote was to me "we will not lose Herman to LSU"
I believe him.

$$$ for any and all things football, location of talent, city is a great place to live and raise children, potential at Texas is much better than LSU. I hate to admit that, but it's true.

Maybe it's the current symptom of LSU fan's chronic case of catastrophe syndrome.

You are delusional if you think LSU is a more attractive job than Texas. It is arguable that Texas is the top football program of all time and it is certainly top three. LSU is more like a top 10 or 15 program of all time. I'm glad we are near the top now though.

...because UT can't afford to let Herman get away. The fact that he's at a Texas school, having great success makes is a PR nightmare to allow him to go somewhere else and have success. So, they are going to open the checkbook up and give him whatever he wants (he'll be the highest paid coach in CFB).
So, with that said, what scenario do you see him going to LSU? He'd have to be willing to tell UT no multiple times with multiple huge offers in front of him. I don't see that happening.
