re: USCe losing to the Citadel cost them Tom Herman

I could see Herman at LSU when/if he decides to move on.

He would do well there.

He would kill it there ... the guy can coach offense. He would do well at FSU, LSU or Texas in all probability. He'll probably end-up at one of those places eventually ... if not A&M.

Herman backing out of the SCAR job was a smart business move. I would have done the same thing given Herman's circumstances at the time and how much attention he was getting and, let's not forget, he parlayed it into a massive pay raise at Houston just to hold him over 'till the inevitable.

In the meantime SCAR really needed someone with a lot of enthusiasm and fire and brimstone who could assemble a strong staff familiar with this region of the country ... one that could recruit.

All rhetoric aside, it's worked-out pretty well for everyone involved so far, it really has. Herman and his family benefited. mUSChamp and his family has benefited. Gamecock Nation will benefit in the long run I truly believe.

The losers were/are Fuentes who was at Memphis State but now resides at Va Tech. The whole process exposed some things about him that he probably wishes had been left alone ... but he's going to get his shot at Va Tech and he is going to have his work cut out for him.

Then there is Rich Rodriguez ... he was exposed as a liar. We always knew he was, but both his AD and he looked bad after their statements and subsequent retractions and denials.

Kirby Smart and UGA are happy ... so good for them. It's a natural fit, the two of them, for obvious reasons. They made their move and got their man. The only program that could have beaten-out UGA for Smart would have been Bama.

And finally, if Boom gets the job done, Ray Tanner is going to come out of this smelling like a rose. It'll be short lived though if Chad Holbrook falters with the baseball program.

Right now there is a lot of enthusiasm for mUSChamp and his staff. He's got his honeymoon period to look forward to and if he gets us bowling this coming post season everyone will be happy ... if he somehow manages to win 8 games in his first season our fanbase will go nuts.
