LSU is around the middle of the top 10 programs IMO, but only when the admin is willing to do nut cutting when needed (see firing Miles mid-season). If the admin is drowning in politics, see LSU before Saban. Saban realized our potential, but historically that has usually not been the case. We have potential to be badasses that few can compete with.
Oh I certainly get it. Maybe Herman is to LSU what Mick Jagger is to the "Stones," But LSU will do their due diligence and ask everyone with a championship pedigree. You would be crazy not to. But if plan B and other letters of the alphabet rear its head, you shouldn't have to settle for Miss Congeniality.
Wow he has won 17 and lost 1 he is the next Saban , neither have built a team just moved in on another's mans work and looks great
