Kirk Herbstreit on Herman possibly going to LSU - "Absolutely frightening".

A lot of people probably missed this quote, but Herbstreit was on Finebaum earlier in the season and commented on the possibility of LSU hiring Herman. It seemed like a long shot at the time, but since it appears that we may very well have another coach within the next 48 hours (and possibly much sooner), I thought this would be worth posting given that Herman appears to be a legitimate option.

The guy I think is a perfect fit, because I know him on a personal level, is Tom Herman. Right now, he’s the flavor of the month, because of the offense, and because of what he’s done at Houston last year, culminating with win over Florida State in the Peach Bowl – and then coming back this year, with Greg Ward, and everybody expecting “OK, now we know about Houston, they’re not going to surprise anybody, now we’ll see how they do” – and they smack Oklahoma to the side, and they’re looking at a playoff run possibly with Louisville at the end of the year, if they can win the American.

So he’s very busy, and I don’t know if he’s going to be interested in leaving Houston, but if I were in charge of LSU, that’s the only call I would make. I would talk to his agent, find out if he is interested, and find out what it takes to bring him into Baton Rouge – because I think not only is he the right fit, he’s young…you can build your program around him and all of his intangibles.

He would basically bring the Urban Meyer blueprint that he took to Houston, he would take that into Baton Rouge, and it would be absolutely frightening with the recruiting base and the resources that they have in Baton Rouge. They might need to upgrade some facilities, but I still think what they have there with the tradition, and what they have as a recruiting base, if Tom Herman goes to LSU, look out.
