Tom Herman on the first plane outta H-Town once LSU doubles...maybe even triples...his salary.

I can't wait to watch the bidding war for his services. Moneybags Fertitta isn't gonna let him go easily. UT and Ok State might be in the running too so there are gonna be some seriously deep pockets in play.

For me, I dont get into a bidding war for a coach. Uh has found sumlin, hermann, some other dude, so they will be able to do the same. Just doesn't make sense to pay a college coach 7,8,9 million a year to me...

Yep. With UH's history of coaches, they will be able to replace him easily.

I agree. Seems extremely overpaid. Presidents and BOR around the country need to think about walking coaching salaries back down into reality. What are the coaches going to do? Quit?

lol no, they'll go somewhere else win and make that University 10-15 times the amount they make.  It is all about $$ unfortunately.  The more you win the more money your program generates, the better you can help your other programs that are funded by football, so on and so forth.

Not so sure OK State or UT are gonna be in the market. Remains to be seen I guess. But USC looks like a very probably bidder for his services too. Notre Dame might also get into that bidding war. This is going to be ridiculously expensive for whomever wins his services.

Tom Herman has said he wants to stay in Houston. But they all say that...

I think so too. I am in NYC. I like NYC. I might want to stay here. But if you give me a contract where i can make 30 million in 4 years if I move to southern california, then that might influence what I think. And no coach can ever say: "I like it here, but sure I will go wiith an offer that doubles my salary." You couldn't recruit if you admitted that.

Dad is a big Buckeye. Herman also talked about how great it was to be at Ohio State and he would never go anywhere else. All talk.

If UH gets into the Big 12 then they'll have Big 12 money to probably give him what he wants in terms of money.  He may however want the money and the far more bigger/prestige job if LSU or USC were to want his services.

Hermann is the #1 target based on this analysis:

http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/gallery/les-miles-lsu-fired-candidates-targets-herman-jimbo-fisher-coaches-list-names-candidates-092516

I think Herman would prefer the Texas job first and perhaps A&M after that.   However,, Strong and Sumlin have started off well this season so he may not want to wait around for it.  Also, his Houston team will land a playoff spot if they win out which they should... he may want to hang around and see what other options he has.

I think Briles will have to go the Petrino route . . . step down a level, show contrition, then step back up and whoop up on everybody.

Its all about desperation. How desperate is a team for a great coach

Arkansas State just lost to Central Arkansas and they have not won a game this year. Briles would be a good fit in Jonesboro. 

He won't take a step down... No way he's in Jonesboro unless the AState AD gets his school to do a 1-1 series.

They would have to beat Louisville... Tough but can be done.

Harry, I'm not so sure I'd say UT has started off well. They got beat by an average Cal team and took double overtime to beat a below average Notre Dame. Charlie is still on the hot seat and the talk on sports radio in Austin over the past week has been his lackluster defense and how he'd better fix it.

      First Fajitagate, then this?!? What next? No wonder we lost Ross Hodge. This program isn't serious.

      I seem to recall…

      I respect y'all sentiments about the unfairness of the system, but clearly none of you are really aware of the money involved. SMU has some crazy billionaires. But those couple big spenders are necessary because they have few alumni. With proper organization and motivation, UNT COULD definitely be in the #25-#50 spend range no question. Totally doable. Not top 10.... but guess what: those teams already had a huge payroll. NIL just makes it above the table and more democratic. UNT's athletic department and university administration is not totally bought in. I wouldn't give them NIL money either. They aren't in it to win. But if they change their mind, you'll find more NIL available. The donors at SMU are spending because the school is now in it to win. If we had the university governance we did in 2005, they wouldn't be spending, I assure you.
