By getting out front now with the firing of Les Miles, LSU has put themselves in the same position as UF did when they fired Ron Zook. There is a guy out there that is the new Urban Meyer, Tom Herman, now they get the first crack at him. They have a very attractive job, unless Herman just doesn't want the LSU job, it's the best current job available. Texas job...he'll have to wait the whole season on Texas to see what happens with Charlie Strong. I don't think Texas wants to let Charlie go, but if he goes 5-7 this year he'll be gone. USC, Helton is struggling badly in his 1st year, would Lyn Swann dump him? He didn't hire him, so maybe he would. Herman was raised in Calif, so maybe he'd love to get back to the Coast. For the right guy USC is a plum job, so much talent in So. Cal that really wants to go to USC first.

I have never understood why universities decide to hire former players as AD! Very few if any players are really schooled or ready to take on this type of modern day responsibility. It always seems to be a disaster in waiting to me.
