Like I said, I know nothing. Just guessing. I am not at all aware of the "LSU perspective."
For all I know they could be looking at Rich Rod (he first came into the spotlight by being Tommy Bowden's OC with an undefeated Tulane team, didn't he?). He could have some LSU connections.
It could be Mark D'Antonio. (Wouldn't Michigan State love losing another coach to LSU?
)
It could be Gus Malzahn for all I know.
Just curious, if it isn't Jimbo, who are some guys that would seem to be a "fit" at LSU?

Jimbo fits absolutely perfect with everything LSU wants and he's already well familiar with how the administration helps run the program. Fisher was their target and they weren't going to let him go because he's about as good as it gets for LSU on paper outside Saban which will never happen. It's not just about who's the sexiest pick out there but rather if a coach came come in, instill his philosophy immediately, mingle well with the administration, understand TAF and the boosters, etc.
Jimbo is perfect for virtually all of that. He's a winner and rebuilt a bad program as well as being one of the best recruiters in the country. Homerun hire if he ends up at LSU. I have questions about him but I'd be lying if I said we could do better.

Culture and experience-wise, I would say that Larry Fedora and Dan Mullen are the best fits besides Jimbo. Kyle Wittingham would get a look based on his Power 5 experience. Herman is a reach, but his resume and potential could justify a long look.
Gundy isn't really a bad fit, necessarily. He just won't come. That's his alma mater, he has job security, and a big-time sugar daddy funding his program.
Freeze is Les Miles 2.0. Go back and look at his 4th down calls this season. He single-handedly lost the Memphis game, and tried to give away the Arkansas (ended up losing anyway) and Bama games. He's a lifetime Black Bear, anyway. DO NOT WANT.You shouldn't want him, either.
