A search firm handed him Herman. He had 4 months to negotiate and Texas beat him in 10 min.
ETA: I don’t want to hear “We we’re never gonna best Texas” I just watched UCLA and Nebraska best Florida for a coach.
I saw A&M poach Florida States Coach.
The AD had one job that mattered. He threw up all over himself.

"Negotiating" prowess like that should get you one thing: fired

UCLAs coach was afraid of the SEC.
Scott Frost is a Nebraska alum.
Similarly, Tom Herman is a UT alum, but unsure of the significance.
A&M vastly overpaid for their coach, a coach that isn’t afraid to mention how much he’d prefer to be in Baton Rouge.
Our AD should go immediately

Giving him the richest contract in college football history isn’t really what poaching a coach looks like.
In your opinion, after Jimbo’s last season, would you have spent $75 million of LSU’s money over a 10 year commitment?
When I read those terms, I was glad Alleva did not throw that much green at Fisher. If we paid Fisher that much, we might not have been able to keep Aranda.

POS Alleva turned it over to TU Alum Ballard then took the cheap way out.
Now the excuses to lay the foundation for a mediocre or a bad season have been thrown right out front and center.

Allegedly LSU offered more money per yr but would not offer more than 5 yrs... I doubt that we would have guaranteed 100% either

I'm not defending Alleva, and Jimbo and Herman shouldn't have been the only two choices before Orgeron, but this statement is contradictory to your point. We were Florida in this scenario. UF was a better job but got beat out by one alma mater and one school that offered an environment the coach wanted more, a familiar conference and city that recruits itself. It happens.
Alleva should have understood that and had more options, especially with all the time he had, but there was nothing he could have done to get Herman. He had been telling people for 3 years he was going back to UT. Jimbo obviously wasn't going to settle for anything less than unfettered loyalty in the form of a $75M contract. The only coach that can demand that kind of unquestioned commitment from a big time program is Saban, no way LSU should or would have signed off on that for Jimbo.

I understand all the anti-Alleva sentiment regarding his hiring prowess...or lack thereof. But a Tom Herman hire 2 years ago would have been a nightmare. Herman’s dream job was Texas. Whenever that job came open, he would have bolted leaving LSU in worst shape than we are now.

Had Joe merely done his job Chip Kelly was available less than 2 months after he hired Ed.

We were never going to beat Texas. That's where Herman wanted to go.
