"Look at his coaching record from 10 years ago at Ole Miss.

Is any other program going to interview him after the season? "

you say this in a way to suggest it's absurd doesn't make it any less true. That's like saying "derr They said the ocean is blue! The sun rises in the east!" as if it isn't true. Love the guy, want him around LSU as long as possible, but LSU should try to get the best coach available. He isn't the best coach available by any objective measure.

He's not my first choice, I just think all of you on that board are WAY over reacting. He's not the first choice, but he's not the worst choice

I keep seeing this but not sure if it means the same thing to me as it does to others

The best coach available imo is the one that not only is a good coach Xs and Os wise but is a good fit with the team. One that can maximize the potential of the team and players. How can anyone gauge how great a coach is if he has never coached in that administration and those players?

I think the "best coach" is one that has shown they can win and put together a staff, one that can recruit your target areas, one that players like and want to give 100% for, and one that fits the institution.

With Coach O, I throw out the Ole Miss seasons. he has openly admitted his mistakes and publicly stated how he has corrected them. It has shown at USC and so far here at LSU that his corrections have worked. He has this team playing competitive football with a staff of interim coaches.

There isn't a coach out there that I think LSU has to jump on. Jimbo isn't any more available this year than he will be in two years. Herman imo isn't any more proven that CEO.

Id be happy with a small, maybe 2 year contract for the man. No telling who might be the "Herman" 2 years from now

If he goes 5-1 or 6-2 which is reasonable he will be 12/4 or 13-5 range at two major programs with tough schedules. He will get a shot somewhere if not Lsu. Personally I think if it's not O or jimbo Lsu is Makin a mistake. Both would be familiar with Lsu , keep the staff in place and recruiting class would hold strong which is crucial with all the departures at end of season. Faaak 12 years ago at ole miss or however long. Coaches mature and develop just like players. O can recruit top players, has a damn strong staff, and will hire a good OC and we will have plenty of money to pay that person. I'm all in for O or jimbo. Anyone else would be dissapointing. Except maybe Herman.
