    Next you call Joe Brady and see if he wants to come back as head coach. He's 32 but that dude can coach an offense up. He's worth taking a risk on.

    Then you look at Napier and offer him a lot of money if those other 2 turn you down.
    Bieniemy has slipped well down the USC list as of now. He is still on it though.

If Urban comes back to college it's for USC not to compete in the same division as Saban.
    Urban's little video has him OFF the USC board according to what I'm hearing.

    The obvious elephant in the room is who their president is now and the liberal governor. I think this search will turn into a power struggle with hiring a minority being the main qualification. It could get very ugly before it is completed.

    The LSU football handlers are more powerful than the governor. No way they make a political hire. I mean damn they rigged a lottery for a recruit.

    You never know until you hire them. Sometimes you get Dan Mullen sometimes you get Joe Moorhead.

    Yea he's off the board until he tells them I want the job. That video isn't causing the 2nd best college HC of this generation not to get a job.

    Don't sleep on Bobby Petrino.

    He got Missouri State back to the FCS playoffs for the first time in 30 years in Year 1, and they're probably going to make it again this year.

    Jimbo is on their list. Their fans will still take him because he's an obvious upgrade over O and I doubt A&M would even put up much of a fight at this point because it could get sideways FAST in Aggieland.

    I agree Urban would "retire" again before too long (and I don't think he'd be in a hurry to get back to the SEC grind), but I think it's worth it unless you have another sure thing coach you are picking him over. Not that I pay a ton of attention, but I don't see any super attractive candidates out there. Kiffen is a good offensive coach, but I'd still be concerned about paying him >$6M a year. Just not convinced he can handle success yet and would want to see him sustain some success before backing up the brinks truck to him. Napier I think would be solid but there will be a coach like him out there for the picking every year if you're LSU.

    Meyer wouldn?t go to LSU because he doesn?t want to deal with Saban on a yearly basis. I think this could actually hold a top coach back from taking the job. I wonder if they will try to poach Dabo but I think Dabo will stay at Clemson until Saban retires

    I think they will go offense and I think they will want a proven head coach.

    I could see them calling mullen honestly if Dan gets to 9-3 this year. Kiffin would get a call. Freeze too. But there will prob be some concern that neither are adults who can handle the job given recent antics. No way they are going stoops or Napier.

    One thing you have to remember is they are under ncaa investigation and title IX investigation.

    I could see them going after Napier when Popcorn leaves.

    Ole Miss will pay Lane $15 million a year and bankrupt their program before they allow LSU or MSU to steal a coach from them. It's all about Perception up there, remember

    I agree but to extent. If Lsu calls Lane Kiffin later this season and says we want you, I think Ole Miss would Offer at most like 7.5 million a year at kiffin. I personally think the guy is a great offensive mind but I don't see him as the leader of a Powerhouse team or program. I think he would be stupid to leave ole miss because he could win 7-8 games a year there and never get fired but if he goes to LSU he HAS to beat saban regularly and win 10+ a year and every other year have a team that has a shot at the Natty.

    I dont think mullen would leave for LSU but I could seriously see mullen head to USC, he's a west coast guy. Lane would take that Florida job in a heartbeat because Florida is less pressure than LSU and its in the east and he wouldn't have to play saban/bama every year. I think if Florida and LSU open at the same time, Florida will get the better coach than LSU cause of the whole situation.

    They might not have much choice but to go after someone that is willing to deal with the NCAA issues. Freeze would be too risky given the situation they are in. USCw will probably go NFL coordinator route but LSU is not going to want that unless it?s Brady who will probably be an NFL coach in the next couple years. They might have to go with someone like Fleck if they are set on getting rid of O this year

    Mullen would be a good, safe hire for them, but damn would they be overpaying. He's at $7.6M at UF. Assuming he has a decent sized buyout, they'd probably have to pay him $8.5 per to make that enticing at all for Mullen.
