Here's what I know. The money men (boosters) want Herman, while Alleva still wants Jimbo, the 'proven' commodity and safer choice. Alleva knows he has to get this hire right, or it will cost him his job. Jimbo would cost $8M per, plus a bug FSU buyout, while Herman would crawl here on his stomach for $5M per (he'll probably get $5.5).
But the one concern with Herman is would he jump ship if Texas ever came calling. Yes, that is his dream job. Rest assured some type of language would be put into his contract restricting to some degree that happening, probably in the form of a huge buyout.
Regardless, Les is gone, and he knows it. Assistants are already starting to put out feelers for their next job. Very common in situations like this.
