Reports: Herman to LSU
- Thread starter chicolby
- Start date
They should have kept Charlie and stayed the heck out of his assistant coaching hires. I would bet they go after PSU's coach and who knows they may throw 15M at somebody and make them turn it down....I doubt the bidding war is over for Herman.

No joke.
A few different podcasts/blogs (usually not in the "know) have mentioned Riley and Dabo
Nope! Rumor now is that since they blew it on Herman that they will either keep Strong, try to get Dabo and/or and reached out to Riley.
Found on Twitter that Chip Brown was one of the first to "break" this news. I'm wary of it knowing Chip is behind it, could be a power move by a few UT people.
Obviously those "bloggers" are simply clueless if they even said it. Winking
its like watching a chinese fire drill when universities try to hire a dang football coach.
i'd rather have someone people want to coach their ball team than vice versa.

Strong's chances to stay have increased dramatically but man that won't go over well in Texas at all.
Strong has to go with everything that has happened. This reminds me of the Les Miles situation last year. Kept hearing and kept hearing he was gone and then he wasn't and then end up firing him the next year.
couldn't imagine he'll be very motivated. the impression is they've treated him like ****. does he just take his regular check, then just wait for the buyout?
He stands no chance to win there with all the crap going on.

Sounds like Herman in bidding war. That starts to pi** me off on those deals. One shot at the big time and if it doesn't work out, big pay off and gone

What would be special is IF some huuuuge oil money alum decided to pony up the money for Houston to keep Herman there and neither LSU or Texas got him... I hear Bill Callahan is available.RollingLaughand I guess FHCBP would take LSU's calls.
I thought he did a great job as interim @ USC and now @ LSU. Everybody wants a splash hire.
Don't think they need to wait until Jan if Kiffin is a target. That guy would leave tomorrow if given another shot.
But his next shot will not come from a top team.
It's sort of fun to see these other schools scramble, knowing that our HC and staff are secure and seem to be trending in the right direction.
Remember this is the same UT admin that got played by Mack a few years ago and they ended up with Strong instead of Saban. They overplayed their cards and didn't strike when the iron was hot. They should have fired him on Sunday of this past week.
A lot of schools waver a little on a decision like this and it allows the coach to scare up support from power brokers. Hell, the NU program is 18 months further into the tank because of not canning Biff soon enough.

Isn't it like a message board rule you have to include Cower and Gruden to when talking about these high profile jobs?
All these rumors of LSU and Texas makes me reflect and appreciate even more what Eichorst did two years ago.
if he stays I would be surprised, but you never know in this world anymore....

Billionaire Tilman Fertitta, chairman of the Houston board of regents, said earlier this week he had no concerns about money being a deciding factor to keep Herman.
"I do not fear a bidding war for Tom," Fertitta said. "We're not going to lose him over money."
