ESPN is reporting that LSU is close to a deal with Herman.

I'm going on record now.  Herman is overrated, but LSU and Texas deserve the bitter tears.

I think LSU should be paying Jimbo Fisher whatever he wants. You know he can win, at the highest level, and he's run a major program already. You don't know if Herman can coach as the head man that level

Dave Doeren was coaching for his job today. He might have saved it. Still, if Charlie Strong ends up available, NC St would be stupid not to at least ask what he would want to come to Raleigh

For whatever reason UNC flamed out at the end of the season.  I'm still angry about the Dook game.

The Vikings continue their downward spiral.
And in other news, water is wet.

Pretty much the type season I expect them to have every year.

You're wiser than I, Bison.  Every now and then, I'm still foolish enough to allow myself a tiny shred of hope/optimism.  I know better, but I can't seem to help myself sometimes.  :-[

Did I hear that Fisher turned down $5 mill a year for the LSU job, or was that a rumor?

I think it's too early to tell for sure. 

What's amazing, is why AD's jump at the 1 or 2 year HC that does great, then wonder why it doesn't work after just 2 years.

apparently he wanted $6.5/yr for 10 years.  LSU was fine w/ the $6.5, it was the 10 years they balked at.
