MyStereoHasMono posted:Well yeah, its a "pretty big" job. And pretty good program. But LSU fans are also pretty delusional if they think they could get Tom Herman. He could have gone basically anywhere available last offseason. You could make the argument that it's just as delusional for Houston fans to think they'll be able to retain him indefinitely as bigger jobs open up.

They started both 2015 and 2014 5-0 and lost 5 of their last 8. I'm not counting Sumlin's job as safe yet and finishing 8-5 at this point probably gets him fired.

Who're the hot coaching names outside of Herman, Fleck, and Kiffin? Maybe LSU poaches one of the 50 former head coaches on the Alabama staff.

so LSU fans; you fired the guy for recruiting incredible players and fielding a shiiiiiiiiiiitttttttt offense and being a general on-field buffoon, this I understand. Is it so easy to recruit Louisiana you are sure the next guy is just going to keep cleaning up? I'm not trying to be a dick and hell you might be better with top 20 classes and a functioning offense vs top 5 classes with just a defense, but I wonder

I mean, it's going to depend on the hire obviously, but pretty much every team in the SEC recruits well now, and even under Dinardo LSU did a good job of recruiting. There are definitely a lot of natural recruiting advantages at LSU so top 10-15 classes should be doable at least. Whatever happens it will at least be different, which will be nice.

Louisiana is about #6 as a state in producing recruits, and highest in NFL players produced per capita. Their in-state recruits are more loyal than the recruits in places like Georgia, Virginia, and North Carolina, so the fact that LSU has no Power 5 competition in state is very relevant, and LSU's Houston presence is probably relevant as well. That may the easiest place to recruit in the country along with USC and Ohio State.

No, if he took another job for $100k/mo ($1.2M/yr) LSU would only be on the hook to make up the $25k/mo difference.

I'm still not sold on Herman leaving UH, especially if the big 12 decides to expand and include Houston this year. He's putting together some good teams and if they get into p5, why would you leave for a school with higher expectations in a much harder conference/division.

Where the hell are they getting all this money? The school expanded and became really big like in the 90s and early 00s, so I imagine they are starting to reap alumni donations. They also just built a med school and were able to poach a ton of talent from UM and secure a ton of affiliates. Other than that, I am not sure where else they are getting the money, but now I would say that there school facilities and faculty are better than UM, which is crazy because (at least in medicine) UM was seen as impossible to dethrone as the place with the most talent in south Florida.

Yeah, but it also means he could just work for a pittance and make LSU pay his salary. Literally any job he takes he's making a bare minimum of $1.25M/yr the next six years. He could just go work for the Youngstown State island of fired coaches, get paid minimum wage for a low stress job, and have LSU make up the 1.24M/yr difference.

If any mid-major Florida school was going to make the move to the big time, I would have thought they'd do it while the big three Florida schools were down. From the mid-2000's until like, this year, you had a situation where every year, Miami and either UF or FSU was down. Now, Miami and UF are both on the rise and FSU is remaining dominant and I can't see any other Florida football programs making much headway in recruiting or general hype.
