    No, not at all. I have said all along that he isn't going to UT. Not because I have any inside information but because I think Herman is smarter than that and because it's a shit job.

    Now as for @tirk , I'm nothing like @LSU Dad because I've never had lunch with a scout or insinuated that I was "in the know" like he did.

    You know, I never even thought about that but if they were going to open the vault he is the one they'd do it for.

    Could you imagine Saban driving around TX in a long white convertible caddy with a giant pair of longhorns on the hood? YeeHaw!!!

    I think UT is as delusional a fanbase as the gumps. They are starving to be relevant again. I seriously think it's Herman or bust for them in their eyes.

    I'm of the opinion UT is a dumpster fire and a total rebuild. It would take Herman 2-3 years of recruiting before they started to see real success.

    And they didn't give Strong a chance to field a complete team of his own. Herman would be a fool to take that job.

    In your third year you can't be 5-6 after a loss to the worst Big 5 conference school in America.

    He is on the radar but the feeling is he wouldn't be much cheaper than Fischer in the end. Sexton is agent for both. If you are competing against Texas, Oregon, and Baylor for him then that inflates the price too. LSU must and will offer both to hopefully give us some leverage and I suspect we will hear other offers go out to to help add leverage in our favor. However, this is still Jimbo's job to turn down and we want an answer quick.

    Hes on the list but I don't see him as viable and we aren't even serious about it.

    So do we take Oeaux or fedora once they are finished screwing this up.

    I wouldn't agree with that. Herman next in line if Jimbo doesn't pan out. Still trying to confirm if Herman was at LSU on Friday.

    Yeah supposedly he and his wife. I hope I'm wrong but I think he's simply using this as leverage.

    So no plan B I guess. Alleva knows if we end up with plan B he's gone right?
