Haha. We will see, I know finebaum is a little out there but he says that will not fly so.
God knows what else becomes available. There's a lot of time left.
Makes sense. I thought it would have been a great fit this last offseason.
Yeah but what job is better than LSU considering Saban is close to retirement? Maybe USC? Texas and A&M look to be staying put. Oregon could open up but I would much rather go to LSU.
I am mostly assuming Stoops would choose to leave.
Honestly, any coach should be wary of the LSU job. Sky high expectations and they just fired a VERY successful coach.
I don't think Stoops leaves voluntarily. I think he gets fired if he doesn't win the Big 12. He doesn't "jump" anywhere. Too many seasons of close but not good enough. Kinda like Richt at Georgia. Sometimes you just have to change things.
Everyone is going to go after Herman. Only one can get him. If Oklahoma doesn't get him, where do they go?
You think stoops would voluntarily leave OU?
Also the expectations for LSU are justified and it was clear miles lost his touch by keeping Cameron. It's obviously okay to lose to Alabama most of the time but he lost to other teams and hasn't been close to bama since that win when they went to the championship.
Me either technically - but it would be interesting if he landed some place like LSU and talked all his ****bailer assistant homies into jumping ship and it left the cupboard bare in Waco.

I'd say at this point LSU, USC, and Oregon are 3 big time programs that will be looking at Herman. ND too? Could be a wild carousel this season.

Auburn too. USC is in real trouble, but do they really fire a guy after only 1 year? I think Kelly is probably safe barring a scandal.
Doubt ND is looking this year. Kelly has done so much more than the last N guys they hired I don't see them having that short of a leash.
Helfrich is gone.
USC and Auburn are likely IMO.
I guess my point is that there're a lot of factors involved and things may not be as easy and straightforward as they look to us on the surface.
Could they go after Briles because they could get him at a big discount? Having to pay two big name coaching contracts at the same time could be hard for LSU to swallow.
Herman will probably be their top target but they could also make a run at either Jimbo or Petrino

idk about you guys, but I was under the impression Kelly was more successful at ND than he really has been. This is his 7th year there, only 2 of which are really "good" seasons by ND standards. He has definitely been better than what they had before, but I can see them having an itchy trigger finger. Hard to boot a guy that took you to the big game quite recently, but lets take a gander at LSU.. and ND doesn't have their money issues.
I also see the USC only 1 year thing, but that team is a serious disaster. The HC was hired by the outgoing AD and was not a fan favorite hire. And it's USC. If they lose to us in a couple weeks, the wheels might really come off.

I doubt either of them jump. LSU isn't a better situation. I know money talks though.

If LSU wins out or let's say finishes with one more loss (Bama) we all know the O will recruit just fine so that interim tag may be removed with the lesson that USC already let him walk and they don't want to let him go elsewhere. If not, though, we're shaping up to be looking at a grand number of P5 schools who may be shopping.

Edit: On the subject of monsters, how about we throw Penn State in here? They're sure to be getting restless.
Great year to get paid.

Everyone keeps throwing out Herman, but I think with a potential Big12 bid for Houston, it would make sense for him to stay. Guy is obviously a very good recruiter and knows Texas well. He won't have the pressure at Houston that he would have at any of the other Schools. Hell, as you can see, one mediocre season at LSU gets you fired. Houston has shown that they are willing to pay to keep him. If I were him, I would stay with Houston provided they get a Big 12 invite.
