BITCH



Wasn't ESPN also the network that claimed Charlie Strong was fired several days ago?

I'm not sure the Herman to LSU deal is really done yet.

ole miss tho. Anyway, that was years ago and there's plenty of articles around where DACOACHO talks about why he was so bad at ole miss and how he learned from his mistakes.

It's not a done deal, but LSU is prepared to make a hire on Saturday while Texas will still be waiting to play and decide if they want to fire their coach. That's a pretty serious advantage and obviously things have progressed pretty far if we're seeing these reports.

Bill doesn't consider that good restaurants better prepare chefs for success at making food tastey. Much like USC and LSU historically better prepare their coaches for success than Ole Miss.

Orgeron was significantly worse an Ole Miss than other coaches have been there. And being an interim is not the same as being a long term head coach. Different responsibilities and priorities.

True. But Alleva has hosed everyone over before by letting the media run with an idea before he decides to say anything. Just like with the Les firing last year. Just like with the Duke scandal

I really hope that he's saying that and Herman really is a done deal. But he's also a terrible AD

If he does make a hire like Herman and it works out amazingly for us then I'm willing to give Alleva some kudos.both his men's and women's basketball coach hires were terrible but Herman would be Huge

It is not unknowable that he could be coach of Texas if he wanted to be. I'm pretty sure if he ends up at LSU its simply that he'd rather be head coach of LSU than Texas for whatever reason.

What upside is there for Herman to say yes before Texas makes anything official?

It's not like LSU would pull any offer or give him a deadline. Even if he knows for sure he hates everything to do with UT, he can just stall for a bit and make an extra couple of bucks with added leverage.

I'd rather have Orgeron because at least he's willing to try new things on offense. But we don't live in a fictional world, so I'd prefer we look at head coaches that haven't been abject failures during their last stints as a head coach.

LSU is probably at their most desperate now before UT (or A&M?) makes anything official.

I'd take Coach O over Les for sure right now, sometimes you need new blood, but there are way more than two choices for that job.

Hell - Coach O lost to the two teams he played with a pulse as head coach this year.

LSU is throwing themselves at him while Texas is dithering over whether they'd like to hire him or keep their coach that lost to Kansas. That probably matters to a super competitive type of person. Also, wanting to get a decision made quickly to keep recruiting from falling apart wherever he ends up.

I mean, who really knows, but right now Texas still has a coach and LSU has a job opening.

If Texas loses to TCU then Charlie is obviously gone immediately but if they win it may not be so cut and dry.

And if Texas doesn't say anything by next week, take the LSU offer. He's like a million miles ahead of everyone else in terms of desirability. It's not like LSU will be like "thanks, but we don't want you anymore" if he calls to take the job on Monday instead of tomorrow.

On the other hand, it shows that Texas wouldn't be quick to can Herman. LSU, by comparison, fired its national-championship-winning coach early in the season.

Early in his 11th season. I'm not really sure you can say that they were quick to fire him.
