When Texas came to the table Alleva got upset and went home.

We threw up the white flag.

Who gets upset and has pride while negotiating?

but yea "TEXAS IS HIS DREAM JOBBBB!!!"

Did you read any of the coverage regarding what happened? Doesn't sound like it from your negative comments. The reports I saw indicated Herman agreed in principal to a contract, then that info got leaked (likely Herman and/or his agent) to Texas boosters to put pressure on Texas to get rid of Strong and pursue Herman, and then Herman demanded more money from LSU knowing Texas was going to get into the mix. I am not a big fan of Alleva but he was absolutely right not to offer more money to someone who didn't honor his verbal agreement, was clearly trying to use LSU for leverage and who is still unproven (ok so Herman has a couple of great wins but those are overshadowed IMHO by some inexplicable loses to less talented teams).
