I think the rumors of Texas wanting him were over blown.  However, if he did choose LSU over Texas it may be because LSU probably has better talent.   Their defense is very good and if he can find a quarterback they could improve immediately.

And he wouldn't have to put up with Texas boosters.  Take that job and the leeches start draining you immediately.  I'd take the lsu job too.

Make no mistake, coaches see LSU as the better job.  

Better conference.  Winning in the SEC guarantees a playoff berth, winning in the Big XII only guarantees a berth if you are perfect.  

Texas vastly overrates where they currently stand in the CFB world.  This isn't the 50's where they are among the four or five teams that are allowed to play for titles.  They're not even one of the big dogs in their own watered down conference.

During the LSU/Aggie game, the ticker reported the original source as HornsDigest.com, then confirmed by Chris something (?) at ESPN. I'm not saying the negotiations aren't happening-- they very well may be-- but I did think the original source of the report/rumor was suspect.

I just hope if he leaves, he does it quickly. Rips off the band-aid and goes. We'll need to replace him and move on. We've been here before.

good lord go to LSU where the fans and AD will torch you if you win less than 75% of your games, but then again if the other option is UT and those bunch of idiots, LSU does not look to bad outside of unrealistic expectations

They may be playing LSU to get better deal from Texas. The West Division of SEC must go thru Alabama and Auburn. I think Big 12 is an easier road to win a national ,championship.

MUCH MUCH easier road through the Big XII

This. 

I could have just given the same synopsis as fatty Chris Low on this. He just had 0 information and talked in circles.

I would guess when you are at this level of coaching you believe “your” plan can win wherever you go. As much as many here hate UT, if you honestly look at the area (Austin and Texas) and the budget (top 1 or 2 in college football??) you have it easy to understand why this is considered one of the top “potential” jobs. It all depends on the person.

Well, when interviewed prior to the game, Herman said that there is no truth to the rumors and called them false. We'll see.

Actually when he was asked if he could deny that his agents are talking to anyone he refused to answer the question.

Pretty sure he is gone, at this point he is figuring out where and for how much.  UH has some deep pockets but they can't offer him an easy path to the CFP.   UT and LSU can.  If either one of those schools was 9-2 they would be in right now.  UH being 9-2 gets a #20 ranking.

Oklahoma id 9-2 and not in right now...they're #8 behind TWO teams from the Big Ten that have 2 losses

If he wants to get into the playoff without having to go undefeared he better avoid the Big XII

Before he refused to answer whether his agent was talking with any other schools on his behalf, the reporter asked him if he could deny that the rumors of him leaving were true. I don't remember how it was phrased exactly, and I can't rewind back that far on my dvr, but Herman's answer was essentially that he was denying that the rumors of him leaving are true. During the game, a statement from the UH AD was displayed, reading that UH has not been informed of Herman's departure. And we apparently offered him a 7-figure raise a few days ago.

The press doesn't know, UH doesn't know, Herman won't talk, everybody in the country is speculating wildly. This is why I won't believe the hype at this point until I see an official press release. Too many chickens are running around crying that the sky is falling.

I think UT has more pull than OU.  I don't believe for a second that the name of a university doesn't hold sway over the committee.

Yes he denied those rumors.  Not that his agent was handling active offers.  This is almost exactly what Sumlin said before he left.

Lost in all this, UH is trailing the Figthin Darrell Dickeys 34-17 in Memphis at the half.

They're demoralized at the thought of losing their coach, or they quit on him.

      Respect to FAU for cutting their losses and having standards. I love to see actual accountability.

      Kevin Henry-Jennings: South Oak Cliff QB

      According to 24/7, Farrar committed to UNT on April 5, 2021 (offered on March 31, 2021) Still at Skyline High SMU offered Jennings on December 8, 2021 Preston Stone signed on Dec. 16, 2020 and enrolled on Jan. 21, 2021. Dallas Morning News Rhett Lashlee didn’t have any previous knowledge of Henry-Jennings when he was hired as the next head coach at SMU. In fact, when he and some other SMU coaches went to the regional final against Lovejoy on Dec. 4, they were there to look at other players. After the first quarter, Henry-Jennings had caught his attention. What stood out to Lashlee the most wasn’t Henry-Jennings’ athleticism — though he has plenty of it — but the way he threw the ball. Like NFL receivers at Robinson’s camp saw before the season, Lashlee saw someone who could make every throw, and do it with accurate touch. Henry-Jennings completed 18 of 25 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for two touchdowns, leading South Oak Cliff to the state semifinals for the first time since 1970. “All those things, seeing it in person, we just walked away thinking it made sense,” Lashlee said. Lashlee hopped on a FaceTime four days later and offered Henry-Jennings a scholarship. He visited SMU that weekend, committed on a Sunday and then signed with the Mustangs on Wednesday.
