    USC has made one decent hiring decision in the past 40 year and that one was by accident.

    Forgive me if I'm not super worried.

    Charlie Strong is donezo - shoulda stayed at Louisville.

    Louisville now disagrees. They may change their mind when Petrino is offered a mega deal they can't match, but for now, they won the sweepstakes.

    Mostly agree on USC, though they could get lucky again, and if they do, watch out. Herman won't likely be the guy though. I'm hearing Texas had $100M in booster money lined up for Saban. I'd be surprised if they offer that to Herman, but they will be able to set the market for him. I doubt USC wants to get into a bidding war with them over any coach, and Herman is most likely Texas' top target.

    I think Herman goes to Texas, he could clean up there since recruiting has been above average and the B-12 is down.

    LSU has 2 Saban shadows (both from when he coached and now that he's at Bama), and I dont think anyone will be successful there until Saban retires

    Herman just doesn't seem like a west coast guy let alone a hollywood guy, I don't think USC gets him.

    I'll say it right now - Saban will win at least one more natty at Bama. If he goes to Texas for 100 million he won't win shit

    I can't see Saban changing gigs at this stage of his career. If he spurned Texas two years ago (when there was at least some whispers in Tuscaloosa that the game had passed him and he couldn't handle the spread offense), there's no way in hell he's jumping now after another natty and likely wire to wire natty.

    No one is saying he will jump, easy money is he retires as a Bama coach with another ring or two. Only salient point is the pot-o-cash Texas is willing to pony up to get the right coach. Few if any programs are going to get into a bidding war with them.

    Saban has thunderfucked the West Division. IMO his presence at Bama makes it harder for every other program in that division to attract top coaches.
