Mel Tucker

Lsutigerturner•30 months

Mike gundy, Brian Kelly, James Franklin, Lane kiffin??? Lol really? Hell no. Gimme fickell, or aranda. Second choices Napier, tucker or maybe Campbell.

StarkvilleTigerFan•30 months

Tucker would be a fool to leave Michigan State especially to come to LSU!! No offense to the LSU job-but Tucker has things going up there.

RightWingTiger•30 months

One decent season (so far) at MSU & Tucker ‘has things goin’ too much for him to consider a Top 5 (LSU) Head Coaches position? No thanks. Id rather Campbell, Stoops, Franklin, Fickell……the list goes on & on

kywildcatfanone•30 months

You may come get Stoops after tonight if you want him.

CaptainYaYa•30 months

Kiffinites! Stop looking at the shiny object.

Luckydog•30 months

Kiffin not coming to LSU so move on! Napier or Tucker, but feel tucker will stay at state

Micro12Tiger•30 months

The only game for me to watch is the Ole Miss vs. Auburn game. As Lane Kiffin is by far the most qualified head coaching candidate by far.

LSUPHILLY72•30 months

So you want to replace LSU's coach with the coach LSU's coach replaced at USC? Gotcha

sabbertooth•30 months

Looks like florida will be like looking for a coach too.

Displaced•30 months

Am I the only person who wouldn't be disappointed with Mel Tucker?

sabbertooth•30 months

Was excited about him . After watching their game today it looked like St was s very well coached team.

BassMan63•30 months

I just dont think he leaves Michigan St. He is a good coach, but I just dont see him leaving.

Micro12Tiger•30 months

Yeah. I mean this is the first season since he has been a head coach that he has had success. If you want to roll the dice then pick Mel Tucker who has just slightly more head coaching experience relative to Dave Aranda with a year less. Nonetheless, both of them pail in comparison to the experience of success relative to Lane Kiffin.

Gundy is way too based for Tate to allow the hire. He would be good here though.

cypresstiger•30 months

Cincy coach not increasing his stock so far in the Tulane game

kywildcatfanone•30 months

Virtually none of those are LSU coaching candidates :lol:

LSU615•30 months

Lincoln Riley and Mike Gundy are the only two on this list I want. If everything else falls through, Aranda would be a good choice. But I think Woodward is going to surprise us all with the hire. And it won't be a second-tier coach like most of these that are listed.

lsucoonass•30 months

No it will be

Micro12Tiger•30 months

Lincoln Riley is a pipe dream. Not to mention how do you know he would be good in the SEC where defenses rule? You don't.

Ruebacca•30 months

Woodward likes Riley, but he's not the only guy on the list. The criteria is pretty simple. Who has won a natty, been in the CFP final four, won a conference championship or beat Saban. That's a much shorter list, and a very different one from what the media keeps churning out. He'll do something fairly unexpected I believe. Like Lincoln Riley, Matt Rhule or the rehabilitated Hugh Freeze. Who knows, but I don't think it will be as obvious as Franklin, Kiffen, or Tucker.

GeauxTigers1410•30 months

So... pretty much all of them.

Tiger1988•30 months

Don’t waste your time. This hire will come out of left field as all of his hires have so far.

Gumbo1•30 months

Lincoln Riley or bust!

Micro12Tiger•30 months

Pipe dream or bust.

CanebreakCajun•30 months

Mike Gundy? I like the guy and he’s a good coach, but not for us.

JustinT37•30 months

1. Lincoln Riley 2. Luke Fickell 3. Dave Arranda 4. I guess Napier if it gets to him (it shouldn’t)

lsucoonass•30 months

What coach, who has already established himself, would want to come here?

tigersquad89•30 months

You forgot Saban
