re: You think LSU fans are melting right now? Consider this Tom Herman scenario...

Honestly, I think the odds are pretty low that the boosters would want a coach with Herman's style. After the run with Saban, they wouldn't be desperate enough to just grit their teeth and pick him. LSU normally wouldn't, for the same reason Bama wouldn't, but they've gotten a bit more desperate and would take him for the extra chance of success his hiring offers.
