re: Why did Alleva and Herman not sign a contact on Thursday?

Seriously? Herman wanted to hear from UT before making a decision. When he found out that they wanted him, it was over for LSU.

That makes sense. Outside of going over the top and getting in a bidding war with UT, I wonder if there was anything else Alleva could have done to lock down Herman?

Doubt it. You, along with the rest of the "insiders" know absolutely nothing. LSU never was serious about Herman or Fisher and both probably knew that. Orgeron was Alleva's plan from day one and the rest was a smokescreen.

According to the TD "insiders" (cough, cough) Herman called Alleva at 5:00 a.m. Saturday morning to let him know he was talking with Texas and that's when Alleva told him "no, we have our man". 7:00 a.m. message goes out that we are announcing our new HC at noon. Probably never know what happened but if that is true then Alleva is pathetic. Personally, I don't give it any credence.

To the question, Herman didn't sign because there was never a serious negotiation with him. Alleva said as much in his presser. If Alleva was serious about Herman there would have been details ironed out way before this.

Also, to believe that Orgeron won the job by his Friday night interview is laughable and sad.
