Burrow would have 100% still been a Tiger if Herman was hired in 2016.

So 2019 still happens.



We don't know that. Coach O went and got Burrow and he has out recruited Herman. We wouldn't have had the same players or coaches. Last year was a perfect storm and replacing Coach O with Herman would have changed a lot of that. Herman has not shown he can win his conference much less a Natty

Herman may not have gotten Burrow, which is the difference for 2019. i'm not sure outside of 2019 if O beats Herman, though


Herman would have locked down Burrow without a doubt. He talked Meyer into offering him at OSU and they maintain a close relationship. That part would have been like shooting a duck on the pond. The rest IDK.

Exactly, just because he couldn’t be what Texas wanted doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have had success here. We weren’t broken like Texas was. We just needed to open up our offense. All the other parts were in place.

coach kissie face would have been a disaster here at LSU. LSU players would not respond well to that. Plus if you can't recruit great classes to Texas with all the talent that is in that state then you aren't going to recruit great classes to LSU. Recruiting is the most important part of a head coaches job, or any coaches job. Just look at BaMA, ohio St, and Clemson for proof of that.


If you look at the last three head coaches at LSU, they all won National Championships. I'm not sure if Tom Herman would have won a Natty, but he definitely would have done better at LSU in the last four seasons than he did at Texas.

Also, the part where you said he didn't recruit great classes at Texas is not true. He has been in the Top 10 consistently. LSU is usually around No. 4, and Texas is usually around No. 6.

I wanted Jimbo.

Next, I wanted someone who wasn’t O, or at least to interview/ consider other people. But Alleva was the search.

I wanted Herman bad I was sure he was a can't miss.


Moscona promised on AFR that Herman would win a national championship within 3 years at Texas.

I thought he deserved a look. I wasn’t angry about the Orgeron hire; I was angry that the university omitted a serious national coaching search.

Not guilty. O was always the guy. And I’m still happy he’s the guy

I did NOT want Herman... he seemed like an insincere, untrustworthy douche.

With that, I also didn't want O... I was pulling for Justin Fuente, who now has a stellar record of 38–26 at VaTech

So it shows you how much I know about hiring the head football coach

Do you think Herman regrets not coming to LSU?
