re: So there was an agreement with Herman?

Herman and LSU had a verbal agreement, and when it came time to put pen to paper, Herman backtracked. It's pretty obvious he was never really wanting to come here....agents leaked agreement to force UTs hand, fire Strong, and come after him. Pretty poor showing by UT and Herman's agent, and shows the power struggle between decision makers and boosters. Good luck with that dumpster Fire in Austin. And good luck to Strong....deserved better.
