Herman was coming until the Texass job suddenly opened. Texass made a decision that they wanted Herman before papers were signed and promptly fired Strong and pursued and got Herman.


O leaked this to ESPN hoping this woukd happen. O played us, not Herman.
We will be fine. Better when we run off 5 years of Ws on Ole Miss.

This is Kiffins game to lose, not ours.
He spent all his buyout already and needs some $.

We will be in good hands with Dillingham


I agree... on paper, he is a better candidate

It will be harder for him to beat LSU vs Ole Miss. We get our program healthy and in place, he wins 25% of his games versus LSU at Ole Miss.

One word .. Buyout.

Keep in mind, our governor railed on Kelly's Buyout and how horrible it was. I guarantee we are trying to get a contract with a reduced or no buyout. Jimmy Sexton ain't going for it.

I worried about this from the start.
He is a much superior candidate on paper. He did win a conference championship too.
Saban tells the story better than I. He was trying to get his salary to match Izzo. He brought the LSU offer to Michigan St and was called early the next Am by the university president. Evidently he had done this before. But. . This time the president told him to carry his arse. MSU wasn't having it anymore. They left.

Saban admits they really wanted to stay.
Had a suburban 19 years. Traded it in for a Denali truck last December. That was hard as shite to do. Loved that vehicle. Even with 190k miles.

We currently have a Tahoe and a Denali 1500. The Tahoe is the best driving vehicle I have ever owned.

Get a suburban or Tahoe and don't love back. Yukon or Yukon XL are just as good (maybe better)

Well for Herman the ESPN broadcasters as well as the ESPN bottom line ticker flat out stated Tom Herman had agreed to a deal with LSU. This was during the LSU regular season finale against Texas A&M at college station.

FFWD a few days later Interim Coach O was named the HC.


I have a theory this was leaked to ESPN by Orgeron after he was told he wasn't selected. As expected it caught the ear of Texas who jumped into action. Herman wanted Texas 10x more than LSU. Herman to LSU was killed before it got started.

the DONE DEAL with jimbo fell through at halftime.


Wasn't it over our refusal to pay his buyout at FSU? 3 million I wanna say.
He didn't care. We gave him FU money at the age of 62. He did what he wanted and didn't look over his shoulder.

I am not mad about it.
Compare his record vs Kiffin. Just saying.

I think he is a better choice but... how do you get a guy with success at his Alma Mater making 7 mil a year?
Let it play out. We are LSU. We dont need to get out in front of anything. F EM if they dont want to be part of us.

Not mad at it.

He is a good choice if you go the coordinator route
He can't win a Natty at Ole Miss. He can at UF or LSU.

He knows this already.
