Check their history before Carrol.
And OSU hired Meyer while under sanctions. It's not a deal-breaker.
You seem to be taking this awful personally.

You're proving my point re: taking this a little personally.

It's interesting that Herman gets an automatic salary bump to 5 mil if Houston joins the Big 12.
He could run that conference at Houston if he wanted to. And wouldn't have to bang heads with Saban on a yearly basis.

time for tejas and lsu to go head to head

I think the only thing that makes Texas an unattractive job is the meddling from boosters, perceived or real. That is the main reason I never saw Saban going there. Alabama is bad enough with that, and he done a nice job getting them to write checks and keep their mouths shut otherwise, but Texas is a different animal. Especially for a younger coach. I'm hoping Saban stays long enough that the boosters that were used to having massive input on the program are either too old to care or have moved on, so that they don't ruin the program again

looks like that is how this is going to go.....tejas has the obvious edge

i think he is number 1 to a few people that matter more than me and the Herman supporters
and the way FSU is playing....who knows

This claim is disputed
Saban was interacting with Texas boosters which is why he was rumored to be coming to Texas a few seasons back. He coaches at Alabama whose booster meddling surpasses Texas, and is only mitigated now because y'all have the best college football coach in the game ... maybe ever? Start losing and your boosters meddling will get back to the level they were at when Shula was around.

I know. That's why I hope most of the old guard is gone by the time Saban leaves. My hope is that the new money guys understand that the more they meddle, the worse the outcome, but I won't hold my breath. Would be the biggest reason I wouldn't want Dabo to be our next coach. He may get eaten alive here. If he even wants to leave Clemson

which is why he's gotta go at this point. if you can't teach your specialty to 4*, you gotta go.

there is a contingent that wants Jimbo, yes
i cannot say for sure if they are the majority or minority, but i am pretty positive there is some leaning that way.
will i take him? absolutely? do i want herman before him? absolutely

oregon has turned into a dumpster fire as well. hard to see helfrich surviving this season. not that oregon is on level with sc, tx & lsu but phil knight is gonna bust out that checkbook to try. Should be an entertaining off season.

The big swinging dicks when Brown was here (Joe Jamail, Red McCombs and a few others) are now either dead or will be soon. They all wanted the head coach on speed dial and expected reciprocation. The newer money guys aren't even in the zip code when it comes to this type thing.

Yep. There are several fringe top 15-20 programs that better be careful if they fire their coach this season with the potential jobs open. I'm think places like Penn St, Auburn, etc might want to hold off because they aren't beating out LSU, USC, Texas for coaches, and probably not Oregon either for the reason you mentioned.

It wasn't just boosters. It was the entire fan base who despised that unbridled, lying, piece-of-shit snake in the grass. He was the most despised person ever associated with Texas athletics, and it wasn't even close. Everyone from the admin people in Bellmont all the way up to Joe Jamail hated the guy, over and over.

That's kinda what I'm hoping happens here. Although as recently as last year there those that were trying to force Saban's hand by putting some stuff out about Lane Kiffin after the Ole Miss game. Saban's responded pretty emphatically though

right, but the boosters are what got that ball rolling.

all i ever said is you gotta give him a 3rd year and a chance.
he has failed that opportunity. you can't let 3 outta four teams drop a 50 burger on texas and get out alive.
i have seen the light, twink.

ND could be in the mix too.

Yep. And forgotten in all this is Baylor. They may be smart to just name Grobe the permanent HC

You really think LSU is going to hire someone that's going to not bring his own guys with him?

Aranda and Herman are boys from back in the day

I get that they have a history together, but I don't think these things work out quite like the fans think they should. What if Aranda doesn't want to work for his buddy? Aranda might test the waters of being a HC. Herman likely needs to hit the ground running wherever he goes and bringing in his own staff that's been with him the last couple of years is probably an easier way to do that. JMO of course

The little bit I've heard of Herman speak, he has always had the best things to say about his DC Todd Orlando. Not that I'd expect him to trash his guy but it seemed genuine that he believes he has a top flight guy. Plus he is an asset in recruiting if anyone likes Walker Texas Ranger View attachment 41482

Gps- I could be completely wrong about it, but it just seemed a bit too perfect. I don't think Aranda is HC just yet anywhere decent...
Ck- that's why I said I could see him bringing Orlando. He seems to be getting the job done there and getting 5 stars which is unreal when you think about it

twinkie, i think you might be setting yourself up for a disappointment. We will probably have LSU, Texas, USC, oregon, Auburn, and a couple of other jobs up for grabs. On face value there doesn't seem to be enough available talent to fill every job. Some fanbases are going to be underwhelmed.
