I agree with you. I personally believe he went balls out for Herman and asked Jimbo what it would take. Sexton probably threw out some astronomical number and years and he knew he lost when Herman said he wanted to hear from Texas. He then figured he could save face- hire O before Texas hired Herman and try and make the good ole boys happy.

Just so goddamn embarrassing that this clown is our AD.

If he had a backbone AT ALL then we land Jimbo or Herman at the end of '15.

I think when Sexton asked for $10mm for Jimbo FKA blinked

Strike one

They slow played Herman and allowed Texas to leap frog them, which is what Herman really wanted

Strike two

Alleva lost the initiative and Fat Goebbels rallied the good old boys and the players and forced Alleva's hand on "our guy"

Alleva was looking at a whole new start with his third and fourth choices so he bailed and gave the powers that be what they wanted and hired CEO

Strike three

CEO knew he had Alleva by the nuts at that point and negotiated the contract guarantee in exchange for less HC salary to put the OC/D.C. high salary narrative in play
