SC is not LSU. LSU is on another level.

You pick up the phone when they call.

That is not exactly what happened. That's pesik revision. Herman and Kirby were in the running. Usce was gonna go kirby over herman then uga opened up. Kirby goes uga and by that time herman had a deal with houston. So usce went to muschamp.

The F do you know?

To the OP's question, yes it is a distraction even if Herman doesn't take the job. He's human being with aspirations so he has to consider the possibility if there is interest in him - and we know there will be interest. IMO, Herman doesn't take the LSU job. Yes it is s good one for the right personality, more like Fisher really, but I don't think LSU is a Herman culture. AL, yes, he'd take that job, Texas, yes, OU, yes, OSU, yes, Michigan, yes and probably half-dozen others who have an elite's chance to win the nat'l title in any given year.

lmao shere troll level 4000

SC offered herman...he turned them down then they targeted smart

http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index....o_bec.html

herman took himself out before smart and uga became a thing

Why would this be a distraction. He is going to want to try to bring UH to the playoffs to prove that he deserves the money I am sure his agent is going to ask for if LSU or maybe UT is interested.

herman is gone...its just a matter of when and to where

you 'frank beamer' hopefuls might as well come to grips with reality...and you should have his back up picked out too because whether this year or next, you'll need it.

Too many Coog fans are getting uber sensitive that his name is brought up (again). Part of the game. LSU is a top 10 program. It is loaded with top recruits everywhere...imagine what he could do with a roster full of Ed Olivers? And paying him $5 million per year isn't out of the question either.

I think you are wrong. I don't think most Coogs are uber sensitive. I think we understand what is in play here. We have supplied the Big XII with Briles and Holgerson. Meechum hum left for TCU. The Aggies got Sumlin.
With the hiccup that was Tony Levine, we understand from Renu and Timan that those kind of coaching hire mistakes are NOT acceptable.
If we get in the Big XII, I think we retain Herman. If not, I do not think we will. But we will get the next great up and coming coach to lead our team to 10+ victories every year. It is Houston. It is not hard to recruit high
Y talented kids and beat up on P5 programs.
Herman wants a chance at an NC. He gets that with Houston in the big XII. We all want him to stay, but we know we will be well off in our future. We all wanted Briles and Sumlin to stay. We just keep getting better.

Herman's statement of "I'm never going to comment about another job during the season" does not calm the waters, IMO. However, I cannot think of a better answer other than to unequivocally disavow interest in the LSU job.

Others could say that's when Memphis entered their meat of their schedule:

NAVY (20-45) Navy went 11-2 last year
at Houston (34-35) UH AAC West and AAC Champs
at Temple (12-31) AAC East Champs

Even Spurrier knew in mid-season last year that the talent drop at South Carolina was real...as they are only averaging 14 pts per game and their only wins were narrow ones over a bad Vandy team (13-10) and ECU (20-15).

There was no way Herman was ever going to take that job...but his agent (like any good agent) allowed his name to be out there...long enough to get a new recording paying deal from UH.

This year will not be any different...as any and all job openings will be used by Herman's agent to secure more $$$ from UH...even if his client has ZERO thoughts of ever leaving.

That's business.

Now in regards to LSU...they will only hire a high-output offensive coach...and yes, they will try and go after Fisher (again) and Herman...both who should be very successful at LSU, especially in recruiting (owning the state), plus having major impact in their current recruiting areas (Fisher...all of FLA and Herman, especially around Houston).

I think LSU already knows who they want (and maybe even have a gentlemen's agreement), and fired Les because this was their chance...and didn't want Les to potential upset Bama, etc...later this year which could have saved his job for just one more year.

The team that beat Mississipi was not the same as the team suffering the defeats. The coaching situation was a distraction. The only question is the degree it contributed to the losses.

Houston may do a great job of handling the distractions or have sufficent talent to render the distractions moot, but it is present IMO.

It is all a mirage. LSU really wants Monken.

Thats the funniest thing I've seen on the interwebs in a long time.

I think an SEC West job is toxic until Saban retires. The money is obviously great, but, since Saban came to Alabama in 2007, seven SEC West coaches have been fired by their schools and Alabama has finished tied for or in outright first place in the West seven of Saban's nine completed seasons, including the last four years. Saban owns that division for as long as he wants and I'm not sure any other coach can do anything about that.

It's such a big distraction that Houston will not beat ECU this year
Cheers!

Dang, now that you mention it, it seems like forever ago since we played ECU. Sure wish we had you guys at our place this year so y'all would be dying all game long to yell "TD ECU!!" but our defense would keep you from even crossing the 50 yard line.

Why wouldn't Herman hold out for Ohio State or Texas? One of those jobs is going to open up in the next 5 years. In the meantime, he'll have statues built for him on Houston's campus and might even compete for a national championship. I see no reason for him to rush out of town. He is in a great position and will continue to be in a great position in the future.

Not to stir the pot but there will probably be 4 top ten coaching jobs open at the end of this season. I see LSU,USC,Oregon,ND, and maybe one more . It will be real hard to stop him from going ,expansion or not.

I don't think expansion is going to happen anytime soon; so, unless Herman is the Patron Saint of Houston, it's going to boil down to how much of a monetary lure those schools bait him with.
