Aranda interim coach?
Agreed. I feel the same about Stoops at Oklahoma. Both good coaches who could use a year off to recharge and start fresh somewhere else.

Orgeron would be my guess.
He's the kind of guy you want as an interim. If he rallies and saves the season does he get cut loose again?

Les is 62, he either takes a Houston like job (Power G5 team) and has fun and builds or he goes for a studio job and stays there.
Good point. Forgot about his age.

I don't think LSU would retain him, but he would get a gig somewhere.
Stoops should seriously consider jumping to LSU.
And it won't be like he needs the money. He has also accomplished enough that I don't see any glaring boxes to be checked on his list.
That might actually work for all involved.

Who does LSU go after? They will swing for the fences and think everyone wants the job.
1. Herman - he is the big name.
2. NFL Guy?
3. Stoops or another big name to jump
4. A Dykes or Wittingham type - sold coach looking to get out of dodge
5. Retain Orgeron or a top coordinator (least likely to me)

Best response I've seen so far.
LSU become the southern fried version of USC? That would be classic. All they need is to hire a washed up, unqualified former star player as AD.

Bingo
Dunno. LSU wants championships and Stoops teams tend to wilt in the spotlight lately. Not sure that's a great fit.
I see Stoops at a USC like program. Money, power, prestige but not a fan base the expects to win a natty every year. I may be way off base on that but it's my impression.
What I find a bit more interesting, what direction would Oklahoma go in? I have no idea. I'm interested to see your thoughts on that.
If he joins the college ranks I'd look for USC. His daughter is at school in California and I've heard he'd like to be closer to her. But he did sign an extension earlier this year.

Oklahoma would go all in on Herman as well. If I were Herman I would go for Okie over the Bayou

beware the habu
Stoops has stated publicly that his current gig is a "destination" job. So I'm not sure he would jump at the lsu opening.
If he did, you would probably see the land thieves go full bore after Herman. He's a winner with lots of connections on the Texas recruiting circuit.
Have to realize with these big time firings they usually go complete opposite of what they had. They replace an old antiquated coach with a new, young coach who runs a modern offense which will excel with the athletes they get. Only thing that could hold it up is the fact that they are going to have a huge buyout and Herman is going to be what another 10 million?
If Herman wants it.
Why wouldn't he?
