Herman to LSU

[Embrey]

Can you pass along Helton's cell# to Charlie so he can get some pointers?

I called Herman. He said to tell Charlie, 'Just win baby'.

Did he also give you a kiss?

 

[Topstarr]

I do not believe any of this information will happen.......I really do believe h34r:

This makes it more likely that Herman will coach at UT if we make a change or LSU next year.

The Big 12 all but guaranteed Tom Herman is leaving Houston

My first 3 guesses would be 1) someone's agent, 2) LSU, or 3) Texas.

Smells like an agent to me

 

[TexExSpur]

Well played by agent, legit interest and they would get Gilbert as well...

whose agent? And why? Charlie's agent wouldn't do it. Not like UT is going to say 'oh no...we might lose Charlie!'

As crazy as it seems I think some people are saying exactly that.

I don't think there's an agent that wouldn't do it if he thought it would benefit his client. That's his job.

of course. Just trying to crack the code of who benefited from this? Not seeing it.

well, I need their names and addresses.

 

[Bear19]

You know I'm just thinking out loud which can be dangerous. But if we bring CS back with the kind of record I think we're gonna have then you can say that our president and athletic director are thinking it.

Here is what I found curious about this.

Why would a school on the level of LSU assume that any coach is not available? 

To me the most likely scenario is that this so-called source is someone connected in some way to either Texas or LSU or someone connected to someone that is connected in some way to either Texas or LSU.

 

[North Texas Golfer]

I don't think it's crazy at all to believe that it could have been Charlie's agent or someone connected to his agent.

If the report is true, and it's always possible that it isn't, then it was someone who has an agenda or a bias or stands to gain from it. Kind of a "follow the money" deal. 

 

[NWAHorn]

Call me crazy, but if I'm LSU, why am I taking Charlie Strong over Ed Orgeron who they'd get much cheaper? Was Orgeron any worse at Ole Miss than Charlie has been at Texas?

Ouch!

Here's a 15-part spoiler alert for the second half of the season

5. Texas will finish 5-7 and coach Charlie Strong will lose his job

After losing three games in a row, Texas righted its ship with a 27-6 victory over Iowa State. The Longhorns are three-point underdogs at Kansas State on Saturday, and they might be favored in only one of their remaining six games (at Kansas on Nov. 19). For Texas to even finish 6-6, the Longhorns are going to have to win at least one of two road games -- at Kansas State and Texas Tech -- or upset No. 9 Baylor, No. 12 West Virginia or TCU at home. It's not going to happen.

After missing the postseason for the second year in a row, Texas will fire Strong, which might be the best thing for both sides. Strong is a good coach with a good track record and probably deserves more time to turn around UT. But that's not the way college football works anymore. Whoever replaces Strong will reap the benefits of the positive things he did in three seasons, such as playing freshman quarterback Shane Buechele, reloading the roster and instilling discipline.

6. The Longhorns win the Tom Herman sweepstakes

It's actually not going to be much of a sweepstakes because other attractive jobs such as Auburn, Notre Dame and USC aren't going to open. The Longhorns will land Herman, the hottest name in the coaching carousel, by luring him to Austin with an annual salary of more than $6 million and a promise that he'll have some input in the hiring of Texas' new athletic director.

After guiding Houston to 23 victories in two seasons, Herman will be the obvious choice to replace Strong, and Herman will prefer Texas over LSU because of its brand and his already-established relationships with Texas high school recruits and coaches. Plus, it's a heck of a lot easier to win the Big 12 than the SEC West as long as Saban is still coaching
