ESPN is reporting it too so it looks like a done deal. I think they will still owe him a chunk of money so it's not like he will be broke with no work......
Possibly, but I'm thinking after last year's debacle of trying to hire Jimbo, coupled with the opening day loss to Wisconsin, anything short of 10-2 with a win over Bama would've gotten him canned this year.Long overdue. The dumb part is he would have been retained had the touchdown not been overturned. Like that one play would have suddenly made them a contender...

Yup, he ran boring offenses with the Ravens and then did the same at LSU.I just can't understand why he refused to fire Cameron after last season. It could have saved his job.
In addition, why give him an extension in 2016 that will increase his buyout?I just can't understand why he refused to fire Cameron after last season. It could have saved his job.
didn't he also get fired after going winless with the dolphins?Yup, he ran boring offenses with the Ravens and then did the same at LSU.
My thought as well. Much easier playoff path through the Little 12 than the SEC West.If Houston gets invited to the Big 12, Herman isn't going anywhere. Plus he'd get a $5mil bonus for that.
We are soon to find out how good of a job LSU is. No question that Coach Saban elevated it, if you look at who they hired before him. It was not top established coaches, but a peck down. They hit 7's with CNS. I don't believe he was at the Herman level in hot commodities. But a solid up and coming.If Houston gets invited to the Big 12, Herman isn't going anywhere. Plus he'd get a $5mil bonus for that.
Wasn't Cameron the HC at Miami before Saban or am I terribly mistaken?Yup, he ran boring offenses with the Ravens and then did the same at LSU.
Don't forget, they almost let a hapless Miss State come back to win in Tiger Stadium.Hate to hear this. I think Miles is an outstanding coach who has done a great job.
It's a shame that the ending of the game last night cost him his job.Without that one play LSU is 3-1 with one very close, early season loss to a top ten team. Such is the nature of the beast I guess, but it's still kind of sad.
I think it will cost LSU a whole bunch of money to get a top tier coach to take that job.
Very few currently successful coaches want to venture into the world of that ridiculous fan base.
sip
Or Herman could go to an SEC school and make $5-$6M per YEARIf Houston gets invited to the Big 12, Herman isn't going anywhere. Plus he'd get a $5mil bonus for that.
What makes you think he wanted to save his job? Probably kept things the way they were to collect the buyout and get away from the fans that have constantly bashed him for years and called for him to be fired. I think he wanted this to happen.I just can't understand why he refused to fire Cameron after last season. It could have saved his job.
