🏈 LSU Vacancy theoretical question...

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

Since everyone's gripe down in Baton Rouge was Les Miles' bullheaded unwillingness to change offensive philosophies, do they go after Tom Herman?

The selling points would obviously be money, and playing in a big conference, especially since the Big12 doesn't have Houston in their plans for the foreseeable future...

Thoughts?

Why Helton instead of keep Org? Is there a difference?

Maybe because I got Herman and Helton mixed up in the OP? Lol. Edited.

 

[TerryP]

Fair point.

That would be a dream come true for teams in the west, imo. Another stretch similar to Orge at Ole Miss.

They are going for the biggest name out there. It's just what we do. Helton ain't him. Jimbo is and so is Herman, Petersen and those of that ilk. As soon as they have said no and most probably already have they go to plan B. That would be Orgeron and if the crazy Cajun doesn't capture their imagination they go to plan C, Charlie Strong, Petrino, freeze and the like.

Would LSU be able to match money with Texas?

For Christmas sake.

I got Helton and TOM HERMAN's names mixed up in my head while typing the OP.

I edited it, so revisit the edited question, please sir?

The answer to your questions is no. I think Herman is in Austin next year.

I think that if LSU really wanted Charlie, Texas would not put up much of a fight to keep him, maybe even waiving the buy out.

If the ESPN rumor is true it sounds like Herman has been gift wrapped for the Longhorns. And no one will out-bid Texas if they want Herman. But LSU spends a lot of money on coaches. I believe their old OC, Cam Cameron, was the highest paid in the SEC.

But I thought that Saban was a shoe in to Texas?

I think so, too.

shoo-in, FWIW.

 

[bamascw]

I guess it boils down to which is the better job because it sounds like Herman will have his pick.

So, I'm hearing that little Leonard Fornette is gauraunteeing a Lswho win.

Southern Cal won't let Helton go anyways, they've found the next big thing...

It won't be because of his efforts running the ball.

2014, 21 carries for 79 yds (3.8 ypc)
2015, 19 carries for 31 yds (1.6 ypc)
2016,

You talking Todd Helton from the Rockies?



Ha ha, just messing.

Orgeron said he know how to stop Kiffin offense!
