re: Of all the schools to get into a bidding war with, Texas

Why is the only deciding factor for Herman money? Is it because money is the only thing we can't expect to equal Texas on? Because in terms of football programs and actual product on the field, LSU beats Texas right now, hands down.

More than money, Herman was a GA at UT. He got a masters degree there as well. He purportedly enjoyed his time in Austin.

These and the money are the reasons people believe he would take the UT job over the LSU job, but who knows LSU has advantages as well.

I saw reported earlier that if UT fires Charlie their starting offer to Herman will start at $5.5MM. That would make sense bc Charlie currently makes $5.5MM.
