re: Herman for 5 years or Jimbo for 15?

For those of us who like Herman, we have to concede that there's pretty much no chance that he stays at LSU for 25 years. That is just not realistic. So, if he bounces, he'll likely do it to the NFL or a college blue blood within the next 5-6 years.

Jimbo, however, is a bit older and is almost definitely at his last stop unless he gets fired like Lessfter 10+ years.

So, for those of us who want Herman (I think he has the higher ceiling, but the lowest floor, whereas Jimbo is more safe--he has the higher floor, but the lower ceiling.
I loved Les and defended him longer than most. But I always knew that the best he could ever do was to put us in a place where we finished 10-2/9-3 every year, but then went on a championship run when everything came together, either with a special QB or just a special group( like '11).
I think Jimbo--at worst--will extend that and probably be in a position to win championships a little more often because of how well he recruits and develops QBs.
