LSU is one of the best coaching jobs in the U.S.

We can have any coach we want with the possible exception of Saban and Smart. So why is our minority president demanding the hiring of Mel Tucker, a minority and wholly unproven candidate

Bad choice of words but he might have been referring to the idea that the reason they are considering him is because he's a minority not that he is good enough to do the job. Don't know. In todays world I am willing to give him the benefit of doubt.
They thought that last time and ended up with Orgeron.
Tucker is technically unproven but he comes from the Saban tree and is doing a good job this season. That's why his name is out there.
LSU wants a splash and they may be SOL. Firing a guy less than 2 years after winning a Natty doesnt help their cause.
I think Kiffin wants the job - he wants to get on the national stage and that job gives him the opportunity to do that. It gives him a pipeline to talent that only 3-4 jobs in the country have access to.Quote:

I think they may make a run at Urban as well. Woodward can sell people on how it worked for Bama and Saban and Urban wants out of Jacksonville badly.
If they end up with Aranda or Tucker, those will be solid hires but not what the fan base wants.
If Kiffin leaves OM for LSU the meltdown will be glorious.Quote:

He's a single guy now, and surprisingly he's kept a low profile in Oxford.Quote:

Just give me the best person for the job. I don't care if it's an Asian transgendered male.Quote:

The first information anybody has about the coaching search is that merit wasn't the first consideration? Just 17ing stupid info to let out.Quote:

Now if that candidate happens to be black, and they can get some form of "good will", I suppose that would be a positive, but I can't imagine that is even remotely a top priority of their administration.Quote:

Lol, good point. They are masters at covering "things" up.Quote:

If Arranda gets it they missed on 4-5 guysQuote:

And he'll jive perfectly with their Title IX philosophies, lol.Quote:

Aranda and Tucker are both doing well this year, but if LSU hires one of them it seems a bit desperate as there is not enough data to show if they can maintain success. I?m surprised Lincoln Riley isn?t getting more publicity for this job.
I'm thinking Riley's next gig will be NFL.Quote:

If it's Aranda, does Baylor come after Leach?
Oklahoma is still a blue blood. I'd much rather be at LSu with the access they have to talent, but for people without an SEC bias, I'm not sure if LSU looks like an obvious upgrade.Quote:

LSU should definitely hire Beth Mowins for head football coach. Anything to get her off the air.Quote:
