re: Why are LSU fans so sure about Tom Herman?

Saban didn't go to Texas because of Mack, this is literally the exact opposite situation

Not really. It is almost exactly the same.

Jimbo was your Saban, ie your moonshot hire. And Les sticking around fricked that up.

Now the fanbase has moved onto the Charlie Strong-type hire (ie Herman) because the moonshot is off the table.

If you had any degree of separation from the situation you too would see the similarities.
