I don't blame Alleva for not overpaying, but why the rush? Seems he shut down negotiations quickly and moved down the ladder. Why was today or last Wednesday some kind of deadline?
@bowe Herman isn't the best yet. I think personally he was scared to play in the SEC west. Getting your ass kicked by Saban every year gets you fired around here and prevents you from playing in the NC. He has an easier path with UT because defense doesn't exist in that league and they are the media darlings once they start winning again.
PER espn A source told ESPN's Brett McMurphy that LSU decided to go with Orgeron because it "wasn't going to be held hostage [while Herman negotiated with other schools]. ... In the end, they chose the guy who wanted the job and not the guy who wanted the money." Gotta Earn yourself a little Karma going with the guy who wants the job over the guy who only wants more money.... "Cough Les I'm Coming Home can I get my next Paycheck Miles"
