Why do you think he would be successful at LSU?


NFL and Super Bowl experience - he knows what it takes to get there, and players LOVE this. I can't overstate that enough.

Senior Bowl - I watched a special "in the huddle" type of thing when he coached there. He's a great leader, understands player development, and can have guys buy in almost instantaneously.

He loves developing QB's - we need this desperately.

Although recruiting would be new for him, guys would be lining up to play at LSU for Gruden.

He would not take LSU job over another potential NFL job that much is for sure. Unless LSU can throw the bank at him in neighborhood of 4.5-5 million a year, plus probably another 750k- 1.5 million per coordinator that he would want.

LSU has a natural recruiting advantage over almost every school being the only big time school in the state. So, recruiting MAY not be that hard for him. I am sure he has some contacts in Florida since he was at TB for so long. I dunno... it's fun to think about though for now right?

All of these same arguments were used with Charlie Weis, and it hasn't turn out the way that ND had hoped.
