Who would have to say "no" to LSU before you considered O?

I know there are some of you who think we should hire him now, and some of you who would never hire him. This is really for the crowd that thinks he should be considered as a candidate and see who the best guy is.
Lets say O doesn't somehow win out and win and SEC championship or CFP.
Lets say 1-2 losses to maybe Bama and someone else.
For me if we can get Herman, Jimbo, Peterson, Fuente or a Chip Kelly we take them.
The name i get to is like a Larry Fedora.
And that depends on his season too. Say he wins out. Thats 2 11 win season in a row at UNC. He beat FSU and Miami (both ranked at the time) this year.
I also think we could get him no doubt. After Fedora, is there a coach out there that is significantly less risky than a 8-1 or 7-2 Coach O?
Who do you draw the line at?

I agree.
I don't mind O if we get to some middle tier candidates.

Agreed if we can't get guys like Jimbo,Herman,Kelly, or Petersen. Then I'm all for O

Would you take Larry Fedora?
If he Goes say 11-2 this year?
Of Dana Holgersen (I say no. Dude looks like a coke head)

Jimbo Fisher, Tom Herman, Chip Kelly, Chris Peterson, Justin Fuente, and Larry Fedora would all have to say "no" (more than once), before I considered Orgeron. Even then, P.J. Fleck would be a pretty intriguing name that I would consider hiring over Orgeron.
Orgeron seems like decent man and I admire his passion, but I don't consider him any less of a risk than any of the names I mentioned - I, also, don't believe he has as high of a ceiling either.
I don't want to see LSU go the way of Texas, USC, Michigan (who is fortunate that Harbaugh fell into their lap), Alabama (pre-Saban), or Tennessee. We have come too far as a program to hand the keys over to someone like Orgeron, without doing our best to hire someone better first.

May not be popular but I'd risk taking fleck over him too. Just my personal preference

I'll go with this, but add fleck to that list. I'm not sold on anybody else

#1- Tom Herman
#2- Chris Petersen
#3- Orgeron
Jimbo = Younger Les =Do not want

If possible,highly unlikely,i would put petrino in there too

Oh petrin O is definitely on my list too, I just think his $10m buyout makes it unrealistic
Posted on 10/28/16 at 1:18 am to SportTiger1
Agreed. I would say he is as likely as peterson at this point.

I thought he was a younger version of Coach O? A rah-rah sis-boom motivating CEO type. Let's his coordinators coordinate.

Yea you're right forgot him
Posted on 10/28/16 at 8:12 am to SammyTiger
Chip Kelly and Tom Herman.
Posted on 10/28/16 at 8:15 am to SammyTiger
im a hard no as of now on Fedora unless he comes in and makes whole sale changes to his defensive which means he has to slow his offense down.
He is going to be a gus/ hugh freeze situation if he doesn't change.
as for the question Herman, Jimbo, Chip say no then I'm good with O getting the job.
I wouldn't be upset if we gave it to fuente or fleck but I think once that top tier is gone O isn't a bad choice

I'm gonna add Bob Stoops to this list. Yes, he's lost some big games but is consistently successful and beat Bama. I think he feels Sooners fans/boosters don't appreciate him anymore, so he may be available. I just don't want his brother as DC.
Posted on 10/28/16 at 8:19 am to dcw7g
problem is with bob his brother comes as dc. we don't want that at all. Its a bad idea hiring family because if they suck good luck firing them.
also i didn't list Peterson because i don't see it as realistic that he would come here.

Jimbo
Petrino
Herman
Chip Kelly
Brian Kelly
Fedora
Chad Morris
They all have to say no multiple times, then I'm fine with coach O....maybe even make Aranda say no too.
