2. Mike Gundy
* Pros-----Great offense, has won conference championships, Has developed good QBs, great track record in comparison to most coaches, TX recruiting
* CONS-----Recruiting questions in LA, A few bad years, defensive question marks.
*Bottom Line----Great coach, questionable D


Huge question mark with Gundy is whether he can hire good assistants considering he's regarded as a colossal a-hole. I mean, the guy and one of his former assistants are suing one another right now.

Arthur Ray Briles has the whine and complain pattern that our rivals would love so much, as well as being a hell of a coach. My vote is for Briles.

sure, make Patterson say no, but my list was more realistic options (not sure how Stoops got on there...I removed that one). I heard last year that Jimbo would be open to change of scenery and with similar reports out there two weeks ago, its the only reason I say we contact him.

But I would not expect to get some high profile coach...it usually doesn't work out that way.

Im still riding for Hud. Think that dude is the future somewhere. He has been the best coach ever at both programs he has been to

Jim Harbaugh.

Miles takes Michigan
Harbaugh to LSU
Miles works there 4-5 years then is appointed to AD and he hires Harbaugh from LSU

PACKAGED deal. All 3 parties (49ers, Tigers and Wolverines are working on)

Plan B - Schiano


Schiano would be a phenomenal hire for LSU if Miles indeed goes to Michigan.

I think the fact that he was a gigantic d-bag at both Rutgers and Tampa Bay has hurt him in the coaching carousel this year and last, but he's a good coach and has made the most of his year off.

You could do worse than a guy who built Rutgers from worst program in FBS to an 8-wins-a-year team and spent his year off reshaping his program philosophy and spending time with mentoring under guys like Saban, Meyer, Chip Kelly and Pete Carroll.

He is already paid $4+ million a year...he is their winningest coach...lives in a great city...brought TCU to the Big 12...has them at the top...I don't see why he leaves.


If there is one thing, it's the fact he just went 11-1 in his best season yet, had a great team, was co-champ of his conference and still didn't make the playoff. You can sell the "if you want the national title, the path goes through the SEC" line. The SEC champ will rarely get shut out of the playoff.

the SEC was very close to having no teams in the playoff. Alabama was one loss away from getting the SEC shut out.

I hear ya but as far as big time coaches go, Patterson is probably the most likely one who would leave to come here.

Idk man, I think Jimbo would pounce on the offer. His buyout is only 5.7 and his current pay is 3.5.

Id love to have Jimbo.. Dabo is interesting. I think he is a little twit but he did pretty damn well this year with a new QB and has a personality that fans would like( I perosnally don't give a shite as long as we win). Plus he played for Bama so the refs can't screw us as hard... Right?

The timing is bad for Jimbo. He's not going to leave in the middle of a NC run, and if he gets to the championship game (very possible) the earliest he could realistically take the LSU job is mid-January (approximately 3 weeks before national signing day) He may want to leave FSU, but this isn't the year to do it.

Best realistic candidate - Butch Davis. He built the early 2000's Miami teams which had a riduculous amount of NFL talent on them. He also recruited multiple NFL players to UNC, a school with relatively little notoriety as far as football is concerned. There's no reason to think that he couldn't expand LSU's roster with even more NFL talent. That's a scary thought!

Yes, he's 63 and has the UNC baggage. However, that is looking more like an long-seeded institutional problem moreso than just a "Butch Davis" problem. Assuming he wants to get back into it for one last shot, it's not unreasonable to think that he could have LSU's roster look those of his teams at Miami.

So was every other conference. But also realize that 1 loss team is the #1 seed. With the run of recent success the SEC teams will get the nod almost every time in a close argument. If Miss St hadn't lost to Ole Miss, the big debate wouldn't have been Ohio St or TCU/Baylor, it would have been Miss St or Ohio St.

Get over it, he's not leaving Tallahassee and if he winds the playoff he can name his price and they'll give it him
