Paul Finebaum Names Five Coaches Scott Woodward Is Looking At To Replace Ed Orgeron

by Staff Reporter

October 25, 202199 Comments

Paul Finebaum was on the ESPN College Football podcast with Matthew Barrie and named five coaches that LSU AD Scott Woodward could be interested in to replace Ed Orgeron. Per On3.com:

quote:
“It’s really hard to chisel that one down,” Finabaum said. “There are some who believe the AD Scott Woodward wants…you ready for this…Dabo Swinney. Now, there’s talk that the president wants Mel Tucker (head coach at Michigan State). Billy Napier (ULL head coach) is out there maybe as a second-tier selection if everyone else goes bust. It seems like Jimbo (Fisher) is out of that one.

“Can James Franklin pop back into these? I don’t know. But I think after yesterday James Franklin might be looking around saying, ‘What else can I do here.’

“It’s a good job (Penn State) but it certainly isn’t getting any easier. It’s not really a big deal anymore when Clemson loses, but that loss yesterday, Matt, I mean, that was a dagger…..That was a seismic loss.”

Thoughts?

Paul's source is tigerdroppings.com

The president wanting Mel tucker is racist.

StadiumDormRat'72•55 months

It is absolutely mind-boggling how many people whole-heartedly believe that a black football coach has been mandated.

Oh BTW simply preferring a white or black candidate is not necessarily racism.... Even hating white people or bkack people is not racism- bigotry or prejudice,yeah, but in order to be "racism" there has to be a systemic and cultural disadvantage installed and maintained in place. It's an integral part of the definition.

brett408•55 months

That idiot is just throwing names out there with no credible insight into anything.

RightWingTiger•55 months

Hes just regurgitating the same shite everyone else has been hearing from so-called “Anonymous Sauces”! The only thing Paul is sure of is what Sabans Balls smell like!

ChicageauxDave•55 months

It's called "floating a trial balloon". Drop a list of names, gauge public reaction and see if anyone digs up dirt.

Do this a few times and release new names when appropriate.

HubbaBubba•55 months

He doesn't know shite.

CeasarA291•55 months

I literally could not care any less about anything Paul Finebaum has to say.

ValleyTNTIGER•55 months

My guess is…….

None of the above

OLDBEACHCOMBER•55 months

Napier will land at a big time school soon.

topcat88•55 months

People on this board know more than Finebaum

LSURulzSEC•55 months

He has no clue...just throwing the same names everyone else is to create content

CanebreakCajun•55 months

He did a google search before this segment. He has zero "inside sources" at LSU. His inside source is subsribing to tigerbait like all of us.

BigDawg0420•55 months

Paul just reads the Tiger Rant for his info. You can tell from his blurb about the President wanting Mel Tucker. I'm as critical of Tate as anyone but all I've heard is Tate just wants a winner regardless of skin color. The "Tate only wants a black coach" narrative is Rant conspiracy.

Laffy Taffy Tiger•55 months

Dabo is a smoke screen

OGTiger•55 months

The fact that he wouldn’t even mention Luke Fickell, the head coach of the number 2 team in the country, and would certainly be available shows that Finebaum is doing nothing but trolling. He prays to God that Fickell is not named LSU’s Head Coach.

Nix to Twillie•55 months

Maybe Fickell is not a serious candidate. And y’all have to stop with the conspiracies about Paul. It’s really pathetic.

BayouTiga•55 months

Knowing how SW rolls, Fickell could very well be the next HC for LSU!

TBoy@LSU•55 months

Paul Finebaum makes me laugh. He has no real insight and certainly no inside information. Nothing but spin and what is already out there withs tons of speculation.

kjntgr•55 months

So who on that list is way off base? Since you obviously already know who the coach will be

boscoroni•55 months

Skeletor has no clue. He even doesn't have a clue about having a clue.

BlackPot•55 months

If Tucker gets it, it's bullshite. Not even a race/woke thing. Dude has been a head coach for 3 seasons. F that. We need experience and a great track record.

CanebreakCajun•55 months

14-12 an HC. I repeat. 14-12 as an HC.

BlackPot•55 months

What's the downvotes for? Y'all want a head coach with 26 games under his belt to handle one of the largest programs in the country?

OLDBEACHCOMBER•55 months

He (Tucker)hasn't beaten a team with more than even wins/losses in a long long time. Maybe never.

no more cheerleader coaches. I want a Proven HC that has ran a great offense or a great defense. So no on Dabo or those types.

BigDaddySims•55 months

This penis head motherfricker don’t know anything!

BayouTiga•55 months

All in for Fickell........Pencil head is trolling!

emoney1969•55 months

We have a lot of Tiger fans that truly trust the AD to make a splash hire for LSU. So for his sake l hope the hire has already been made and we’re waiting on the right time to release this information. Otherwise it makes no sense to force Coach O out the door this early w/o a coach in waiting. So many announcers will guess as many candidates as they would like but I think the decision has already been made. Geaux Tigers

BooBooMeister•55 months

amen

Fessface•55 months

I think it's Bob Stoops. He was spotted at Rocca's last Thursday.

LeClerc•55 months

LOL. He's been reading the Coaching Changes board. Wouldn't surprise me at all if that were his "source."

texastigerr•55 months

Finebaum is throwing out names just like everyone else. He doesn't know shite. And Woodward isn't talking to him. He's just copying what everyone else is saying.

ccomeaux•55 months

So Finebaum reads TD.com. Got it.
