Herman would be at the top of the list.
Fisher, if FSU is not in the playoffs.
Patterson
Kiffin
Chryst
I would make a change if LSU has three losses before November. Not sure what the administration would do.
Has Nick rehabilitated Kiffin? LSU will know that answer. Nick still has a good relationship with some LSU people.
wasn't it after 2013 that alleva started putting the les miles clause in place? any chance that's why we had to wait a year to get coach eaux?
too many misses. If Alabama and Auburn can come into Louisiana and get Cameron Robinson and Greg Robinson, who on the LSU staff can go into Alabama and take their versions of those guys? Instead, LSU takes a few guys from there that neither of those schools offered.
He's the only one I would hope is eliminated, from that list.
I hope Aleva has already reached out to Herman and let him know that LSU is serious about him being the next HC.
Nothing to do with that. Everything to do with Chavis and Brick being tight and no way Les could replace Brick with Chavis standing there. Those two were anemic at recruiting but at the same time, Frank Wilson should receive criticism and the buck stops with Les Miles. He allowed there to be so much dead weight as far as assistants who can't recruit.. Now he's got Orgeron, Peveto, Craig but it's likely too late.
Contract prevents him from going to a SEC school for a couple more years.
He doesn't like Orgeron. There were some issues last year between Steele and Orgeron once the season got going. Remember Chavis and Steele are very good friends.
He's got a no-compete clause that prevents him from talking to another SEC school until January of 2019. If that wasnt there, he'd be on my A-list with Fisher and Herman.
why? didn't herman lose to uconn last year lol?
if you want to go with a guy who can win a big game vs a bigger school with 4+ weeks to prepare for it, go get chris petersen out of washington. he did the same thing as herman for much longer, and showed more consistency doing it...but somehow now he can't even compete for a pac-12 title.
give me an experienced coach at a big time program...jimbo, bielema, patterson, dabo, shaw, etc. hell, i'd take a top flight nfl assistant like josh mcdaniels, or vic fangio over herman too. i'd also give mike shannahan a call too...he can bring kyle along.
just not enough out there on herman just yet for me to pull the trigger on him...especially not if i know that ut will poach him at will some day if he does well.
As goofy and ugly as Bielma is, I guess I could learn to love him if he came in here and won. The sad thing about all this is that even though Les has earned every bit of the position he finds himself in, the actual firing of him and replacing him with someone who will do better is no gimme. The only two I see that I think are locks to be successful are Herman and Fisher and we may not be able to get either of them.
wonder if that stems from them both being at tennessee...got a weird feeling it does. i imagine lane and ogre are tight, while chavis hates lane's guts.
There are many coaches who can go 9-3 at LSU. There will never be another run of years like you saw under Archer and Hallman at LSU. Resources are too great and there's no Joe Dean .... And remember.. there's no difference between 9-3 and 8-4 in this league. Your bowl destination is the same. In fact, it's the same if you go 7-5.. Round robin of Music City, Outback, Texas, Belk, Taxslayer.
me too...doubt we can get him though.
personally, #1 on my list would be john harbaugh. he and baltimore have had some issues internally the last few years so that relationship is stressed somewhat. i'd throw a 10 yr $7mm/yr offer on the table and tell him to come whip his brother's ass lol.
We could swap Michigan even. Les for Jim. Talk about give Saban a heart attack.
I have seen some the most abysmal personality LSU assistant coaches have great recruiting success over the 20-plus years ive been doing this. You put on that LSU polo shirt and show up and you're 80% there depending on the geography.
It's the out-of-state recruiting that is the difference. Louisiana is a boon to LSU because the Tigers are everything, but it is also a crutch when the state doesnt produce linemen or linebackers in significant numbers.
Ive named the top guys.. . there names are all over this chat and the message board. Jimbo, Herman.
That guy is a jackass and no thanks to that offense at LSU.
LSU didnt say no to Jimbo on money. it was done. LSU had to say no to him because of politics and state budgets.
For the past 2 years, over 100 other teams have had a better passing offense than LSU. We know QB play has been a factor, however, most of those 100 teams have inferior talent to LSU.
If D Craig were calling plays instead of CC/LM, do you think it would make a difference?

lol...only place jim would leave mich for is the nfl.
here's another name i'll throw out...if he wins 8-10 games this year at illinois, i'd take lovie smith in a heartbeat. dude grew up an hour outside of shreveport and is about as well respected a football coach as you'll ever find. he'd need some recruiters on the staff and a solid oc, but he'd always have his team ready to play.
I would agree but its is the 20% that matters most especially when we have to face Saban every year. I don't see Bielima ever beating Saban plus his teams only look good when expectations are low. Arky barely beat La Tech. He will be the 9-3 guy you eluded to earlier. Waste of time if you ask me.
I have been told that he would pass on almost anyone to be at Texas. He passed on even interviewing with several big name schools last year to stay at Houston and build his network of HS coaches and players for when "he coaches at Texas". We all know stuff happens and bullshit walks, but just passing along what is pretty common knowledge here in Austin. He was next after Saban in the list of the big boosters.
Dont ge me wrong, I would love to have him over anyone not named Meyer, Harbaugh or Saban. I just think that he playing chess and wants to be at an icon in college football.
I hear the same thing, but has LSU as a possibility ever crossed his mind or been brought to his attention?
lcool.. there are games like that on Saban and Miles' resume's before they were hired at LSU. You cant judge coaches at lesser programs like that. You have to do your best to estimate how they would perform with all the advantages built-in at LSU.
