It is over for Les. He is done.

He probably already took the USC job

I've never been a major Les hater but he just can't come back. 10 years is a long time.

It's time to move on.

frick Les.

Go back to the well. Mark Dantonio.

Here's my unrealistic choice.

Bill O'Brien: 46 years old. He had success in college at Penn State where he had competent QB play in some of the toughest circumstances imaginable. Belichick protege'. Terrible QB situation at his current job and there are rumblings that he may jump back to college. If he is choosing between LSU and Maryland to make the jump back, the choice should be easy.

frick that

He was at Penn St too short a time to draw any definitive conclusions. He did ok in a terrible situation. He's been bad to mediocre at Houston.

You go big first. Chip, Jimbo, etc. if that doesn't work you look at very successful innovative mid major guys.

Chip Kelly is on my list too. Pass on Jimbo. I think he got lucky with Jameis being Jameis and Bama being down.

You have to get someone in their 40s otherwise. Power 5 or NFL head coaching experience.

Either you get a pro style offensive minded coach. Or you get a defensive minded coach. Kelly notwithstanding.

The vast majority of La High Schools run the spread. The players we recruit run it.

We need a spread guy.

I hear Rob Ryan is available.
