Here in lies the problem:
If LSU publicly pursues Herman, Fisher, or Kelly and all of them turns them down, then the brand takes a hit similarly to what Texas took when they thought they could get anyone in American (including Saban). The media will have a field day with that. We've seen this happen to a lot of big school over the past couple of years. USC, FLA, ND all thought they could real in bigger names than they got.
If LSU don't make the offers public, then they save face somewhat but will take a internal hit from the members of the fan base who assumes LSU can get who they want and but they didn't pursue the big names and emotionally settled for O.
I think at this point the powers to be know who they can really get and is waiting for the season to play out some more before making a move. If O is named before the season ends, then I think LSU Admin was already informed they couldn't get their top targets.

All great points and I agree. Hopefully LSU learned last year not to make these things public. I'd rather the fan base be in an uproar than publicly get shot down by the Jimbos and Hermans of the world.

The brand takes a hit when you promote your defensive line coach to be your permanent head coach.
