I know LSU will be fine without him. I also don't think this should end like Curley. Les will hopefully come to some agreement and Alleva should have a plan for a finale. Hell, name the athletic complex after him or indoor practice facility. The guy deserves more than a firing is all I'm saying. And I do want him gone.

People have been throwing out Gruden's name for a years and he's never seriously considered a college coaching job. He's not going to be a candidate.

If Les is a good boy then he will retire and make this easy for him. Les shouldn't want this to be ugly. LSU will be fine without him



i think that's probably what will happen. They'll cut him a check for a portion of his buyout, and he'll walk away 'on his own terms'

If he wants to do what is best for LSU then sure he doesn't deserve to be fired. I don't think Les wants to be publicly embarrassed. If he ever wants to coach again he takes the tubs/urbs rehab route with tv and doesn't say a word even if its a bitter split.

We might front load his buyout for a reduction, a simple pv calculation would produce something nice for both parties. It lets LSU look good with the media and lets Les come out clean as well instead of looking like damaged goods.

don't want Mora anywhere near LSU. He's a prick and it's not as if he's stacking up Pac-12 titles or major bowl berths at UCLA.

I agree he isn't killing it at UCLA, but why do LSU fans always obsess about whether a coach is a prick or not? You aren't hanging out with the guy. So Les would be great to have a beer with--how often did you do that with him? It's retarded.

Sounds like a plan great plan. And while they are at it they can set out to fix the other embarrassing athletic programs at LSU.

Because unlike many of the fans on this site, some of us graduated from the university and don't want a petulant man-child operating as its most nationally conspicuous representative.

Gruden has been linked to every major college and NFL job that has opened since he retired. It's got to be a running joke.

Maybe not for long. PHI is losing to TB right now and likely will miss the playoffs. $7mm is a lot of money and they could say no thanks to paying that much for another year of mediocrity. I'd fricking love Kelly at LSU. LSU is known for good D, you put that with a O guy like Chip and man that could be special.

Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher is the main target for many foundation members; with names like Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney, TCU head coach Gary Patterson and even former NFL coach Jon Gruden being tossed around as well.

Don't want Gruden nor do I think he's interested. I'd be completely happy with the other 3 mentioned and would be interested in Herman. I don't want Mullen. Without looking up how's he done at UW, what about Chris Peterson? I know he killed it at Boise and yes, I know it's Boise

Targeting is easy.

Hitting it a different story.

Go after your one guy and don't miss.
