Jimbo Fisher - A-plus -Fisher is a proven winner, has won a national title, has recruited in the SEC and has experience with the LSU culture. He’s also an offensive-minded coach, something that is a must for the Tigers' new hire. You can’t get much better than this if LSU can pull it off.
Tom Herman - B-plus - Herman is a tremendous offensive mind. He proved that he can handle big-time athletes at Ohio State and he’s done an amazing job at Houston. While he lacks SEC experience, Herman has recruited the target areas for LSU well in his short time with the Cougars. He’s a notch below Fisher, but not too far. The question is, does he want the Texas job more?
Larry Fedora - B - Fedora, like Fisher and Herman, is an offensive-minded coach and very well-respected for his offensive game-planning ability. He has SEC experience, albeit brief, and his ties to the Texas area are huge when it comes to recruiting. He’s a winner at a high level and has been good as a head coach at two stops.
Ed Orgeron - C - Orgeron is a great recruiter and a Louisiana native so he has that going for him. It must also be noted that the current LSU team has responded well to his interim stint. However, he’s a defensive coach, was a big-time failure at Ole Miss and is too risky for such an elite job.
