He won a Sugar Bowl last year and then lost a ton of talent to the draft and graduation. A down year while rebuilding can be forgiven. Especially given all the injuries they've suffered.

Texas is gonna fail to close on Tom Herman and instead hire Todd Graham away from Arizona State for some reason, just because Todd Graham likes being a snake

O and Kiffin are really tight, and Kiffin would probably just be allowed to do whatever the gently caress he wanted instead of having Papa Sabes screaming at him to run the ball every 10 downs or so.

also Kiffin might get a higher salary than Orgeron if LSU thinks that's what it takes to get a functioning QB.

Yeah, I think the Saban rear end in a top hat factor has got to play in here, somewhere. I doubt Kiffin likes getting screamed at because his team is only winning by 21 points when Saban feels like it should be winning by 28 points. I hope it happens, anything that weakens Alabama is a good thing

Bingo!

And even if Orgeron is successful, it's likely gonna' be on the strength of his coordinator hires, who will undoubtedly be hammered with offers at other schools & the cycle continues.

The more I read, it becomes obvious that LSU really didn't conduct any kind of coaching search at all.

Joe Alleva is a complete idiot and inept AD. Plus he has a very punchable face

Do you want to be the coach of the LSU tigers? All you have to do is beat AM and then get an ice bath! Joe Alleva will then announce you as head coach. It works 100% of the time

Purdue isn't a downgrade from WMU, but it will be hard to make the next step from there. At least they are in the Big Ten West, but there are better recruiting grounds he probably could have gone to instead of fighting with IU for the Indiana recruits that OSU and ND didn't want.

Block me for being an unironic DeSantis fan, too!
Not an entirely dumb move by LSU. If they open their wallets for a high-dollar offensive coordinator, it might just work out. It really was not a great year for coaching talent. If this does not work out, in a couple of seasons there may be a hot coach they could hire.

I'm no expert, but who the hell would get in a bidding war over a relatively untested head coach who lost convincingly to SMU and lost an important game against Memphis?

Sounds like UT and LSU are in all-out bidding war for Tom Herman this morning.

LSU has a press conference at 1 today, which I'm guessing means Herman has til noon to sign there or LSU goes with Orgeron.

I still say Herman goes to UT as soon as they can clean the head coach office and fax a contract back and forth.

Meanwhile, a name that has come up in Houston is Pat Narduzzi at Pitt.

It's been two years which is way past the sell by date for a Pitt coach.

They should just promote Matt Canada, he did an awesome job this year. And if they don't can Iowa have him? :(

It's not actually all that butt hurt. I've had pretty inside access to the organization for a while since my family has been boosters and working in the athletics department. Herman's public persona is all about love and relationships but in reality he's very shady and has straight up lied to my face about things that didn't need to be lied about.

No one in the organization is really all that sorry to see him go. He brought us some wins and a little national relevance but we'd rather have an actual good character guy like Strong.
