Guys, just wanted to let you know what I've heard. Reports started coming out that Houston head coach Tom Herman was close to a deal to become LSU's head coach. It was first reported by Chip Brown over at HornsDigest and ESPN's Chris Low confirmed those reports.
I like to get my own confirmation in instances like this as I had heard nothing on the Houston side of things.
Honestly I was a little more focused on the family today than work, but when things started heating up I made a few phone calls and texted a few people. Here's what I got.
A good source, close to the LSU administration told me that Herman accepted an offer to become LSU's next head coach. Jimbo backed out when FSU stepped up their offer to keep him, there were family decisions etc... LSU then turned their full attention to Herman.
I've heard the offer was around $7M per year. DC Dave Aranda is reportedly staying with LSU as defensive coordinator, which was something that was pushed heavily by the LSU brass.
