Luke Fickell is our best choice.

Yea hopefully LSU has learned it’s lesson and won’t involve politics when it comes to this coaching change and hires the best they can regardless of skin color.

People say he won't leave Ohio for Louisiana

I’d think Franklin and Fickell are the front runners. Franklin’s home and comfortable at Penn State. Cincinnati isn’t a destination job, so Fickell’s just passing thru. Would either come to Baton Rouge? Who knows.

I agree, but people are saying he'll never leave Ohio.

Money has a way of persuading people to do things they don't want to do.

He's an Ohio native, likely in the cfp this year and about to lead the top big 12 program. Why would he sign up for the sec west?

I'm still all for Aranda with Herman as OC. That would be the safest/fool proof hires ever

To be fair, Day is still nationally recruiting and he constantly walks around like he is sniffing egg farts. So I would say Ohio State nearly recruits itself.

A last week, I was watching that penn state Iowa game. They were showing highlights from a Iowa Wisconsin game from like 1957. Said it was the last time a top 5 match up between two big ten teams took place that didn't involve Ohio State or Michigan.

So basically yes. That place recruits itself. To a comical extent.

Not sure why you'd want to keep beating your brains in against that kind of history when at least at LSU history is more on your side.

Fickell and Riley are my top 2.

I would fap to either

It’s not sustainable and he needs to sell the top. Not necessarily true, but should be considered when you’re talking about Cincinnati versus LSU for a hot name.
