SOURCES: LSU CLOSING IN ON HERMAN - Texas - Scout

Ouch who does Texas go after next?

 

[irishff1014]

Change just one word in this post and I would swear you was talking about BK.

LSU isn't going to hire BK.

I never said they were. But I listed reason he could.

UT fans going to be upset if they lose their chance at Herman. Kudos to LSU if they pull the Herman hire off.

It Strong is gone, I think they target Jimbo. He wants out of Fla St.

I highly doubt he jumps that far.

Herman's college roommate-current defensive coordinator Dave Aranda

Art briles

You don't go from classy coach Strong to him.

I doubt they like Kelly. So I would say Miles maybe, Fedora from UNC, Chip Kelly?

 

[Irishize]

If Herman does go to LSU, either Dave Aranda or Todd Orlando will be available. I suspect Herman keeps Aranda says DC.

You could be right. Who knows though. Texas is desperate to win.

Yup

Feel bad for Oregeron. He seemed like such a good fit.

I think this is all posturing to get Texas to ante up. Start a bidding war between LSU and Texas... Herman goes to whichever he sees as being a better job and makes a killing in the process.

 

[irishff1014]

I wonder why no one gives him a chance?

 

[stlnd01]

I wonder why no one gives him a chance?

Perhaps because he went 10-25, with one of the worst offenses in the country, as the head coach at Ole Miss. Some guys are just meant to be an assistant coach.

I had completely forgot he coached there.

 

[military_irish]

I had completely forgot he coached there.

Ole Miss is also trying to forget that.

 

[drayer54]

He's done better in his stints at USC and LSU. He turned this lsu team around for sure. He just sounds like the ball coach for lsu

Change of pace coach always gets Ws in the beginning.

Change of pace coach always gets Ws in the beginning.

Larry Coker went from OC to HC when his players lobbied for him to get the job. He started out with 3 Top 4 finishes. 5 years in Top 20. Won 80% of his games. 60-15

Never had a losing season but Donna Shalala fired him anyway.

It should be a rule that the lsu coach sound like ed o.

Has this been talked about here? I've been out of the rumor loop this week:

Houston sure is playing like Herman already got another job.

 

[T Town Tommy]

Same with UNC right now.

 

[texbender]

If Herman lands at LSU, and UT wins today, Strong may end up keeping his job. But there are tons of UT alums who have had enough of him regardless.
Options for UT? Names being mentioned are Miles and Fedora. ANd don't forget they went after Mora hard when they ended up with Strong. Can't see Briles getting a job in Big 12...too much baggage/bad publicity.

 

[ND NYC]

what's up with the SEC having a game on Thanksgiving night?

 

[ND NYC]

curious: was Briles ever considered for UT when mack brown left?

Well there you have it...

Herman to LSU, Fedora to Texas. Easy peasy.

Yes, he turned them down.
