Seems like a good call by LSU to me. There are no clear slam dunk coaching hires this year, Herman included, and even Herman was likely was just using LSU to drive up his price. Orgeron will be relatively cheap and likely have a contract with favorable terms so that if he doesn't do great and something better comes along, they can move on it with less of a buyout. In the meantime, he is a great recruiter who players love to play for and will have no shortage of talent. If he gets some good coordinators they could be a force to be reckoned with.
