Tom Herman sucks! I freaking hate that dude! Truth be told however, I can say with complete confidence that if he was our coach in the spring of 2018, then Joe Burrow signs with LSU. Reuniting with the guy who recruited him to Ohio St. and fought hard for him to receive the offer. Of course, we probably never bring in Joe Brady and it could never have worked out as magically as it did with all the perfect ingredients as it did. But, Herman would have been wildly more successful at LSU and would have had a great shot at winning it all last year as well. Joe Burrow is and would have always wound up being Joe Burrow. Even running Tom Herman's offense along with the other offensive weapons we had on our team.

Agree.

But it's impossible to do better than Coach O did last year.

I disagree. Texas has ample talent on their roster including Ehlinger who was considered a Heisman candidate at one time. They also have unlimited resources. Last season he was 8-5 in a weak Big 12 with losses to Iowa St, TCU, Baylor, OU and LSU. The year before he loses to Ok St and rushes the field and tries to fight the Mullet. He's had multiple internal issues with players turning on him. He's emotionally unstable and can't connect to his players. That wouldn't last long at LSU.

As for Burrow, I know Herman brought him to OSU, but we don't know if he would have already settled on a starter on roster if he was at LSU. He could have gone after Aranda when he got the Texas gig too since they were roomies in college, but my guess is Aranda probably knows what a douche Herman is and would never work for him.
