Chip Brown reporting Tom Herman to LSU

Sucks for ATM. Our guys were going to F this up anyways.

Tom Herman: Chip Brown of HornsDigest reports Herman is close to being named the head coach at LSU. LSU AD Joe Alleva declined comment on this “or any other report that’s out there,” according to Ross Dellenger of The Advocate. Meanwhile, Brian Davis of the Austin American-Statesman reports Charlie Strong could save his job with a blowout of TCU tomorrow. Stay tuned.
 
Maybe it means Texas went in another direction and took Herman off of the table. I am not proposing this happened but, merely a possibility.
 
How much cred do we give a report from Chip? How close is close?
 
It was tracking in the bottom of ESPN and multiple sites are saying it. Kind of shitty to not wait until after Houston's game on Saturday if true.
 
Wow that's crazy if true. I think Herman has an O and D mentality that will do really well in the Big 12. If I was a Texas fan I'd be pretty pissed about this development. Oh ferk I just saw the ticker at the bottom of the screen that said that basically the thought is that Texas will keep Strong if Herman is no longer available ????WTF?? That's messed up on your admin.
 
I honestly wonder if herrmans camp is trying to force a move from Texas. That would be my guess. Herman hasn't really been mentioned much with LSU and then all the sudden boom. I wasn't real big on Herman anyway so I don't care that much but that would be my guess.
As long as Saban is at Bama the LSU job is really hard. A lot easier to get to the playoffs and big bowl games at UT

You always want Strong to stay. He is not a championship coach and I will bet on it. He will be mediocre at Texas if he stays and set Texas back further. Losing to Iowa st and Kansas is what Strong is good for.
 
I remember Saban was a done deal once up a time as well...
ESPN bottom line read that the Herman-LSU deal "could be done as early as Saturday."

Why not tonight after LSU's regular season game? All ESPN knows is Herman & the LSU AD met. No deal was reached/signed.

Wait until after the TCU-Texas game. If Texas loses, watch the bidding war begin.

Where did I say I wanted strong to stay??? I said I wasn't big on Herman.
 
It's interesting that according to sources, it has been Fenves' "preference" to keep Strong. Why?????? I guarantee if those seats weren't full, Fenves would have a different preference.
 
Own up to it dude. You are a strong supporter big time. Own it.
I have no problem owning my opinions. When they are my opinions. That however is not my opinion. I have no problem discussing football with you or anyone else. What I will not do is allow you to tell me what I think.
 
Herman to LSU .....he would probably be in the playoffs no less than his second year or as soon as his offense was put into motion. With the athletes and recruits from Louisiana and Texas (Houston area) not much rebuilding needed with that combinations.

You have said time after time you would rather keep Strong than to bring Herman. You are the 1% who thinks strong and Herman are on the same level. Herman is 1000 times better than Strong and time will prove it. You want Strong. You want to play it both ways.
 
Kiss my ass..I have been here longer than just about anybody here and this AD and admin are the absolute worst in all of college football. If it is true and they let Herman slip by and keep strong you can bet I am done with this shit show.
The program is a dumpster fire. If the admin fails to take appropriate action, the fire will grow larger (just as it has since 2010).

Not what I have said. What I have said is if we are going to fire Strong and then run in Herman the next day I'd rather Strong stay. If we're going to do this I'd rather us really conduct a search than hand the job to the boosters hand picked guy. Doesn't make me a Strong supporter. It makes me someone who wants to get this change right not just fast.

I'm beyond pissed about this. Texas will keep the loser strong or take a coach who hasn't coached in college for 20 years and has no Texas recruiting ties.

You literally just said what I said you said. Good grief.
