If you going with Drink you should just take a shot at Dillingham. That hire makes 0 sense and I have every reason to believe LSU is not seriously considering him. I hope.

Kiffin has a huge incentive to come here. More NIL potential, better facilities, more talent to recruit from, and LSU can easily pay more than whatever Ole Miss can offer him.

Also there's probably a reason Vegas has Saban as the favorite. They don't set those lines without there being some possibility.

you can argue saban was a very averge big ten coach up until his last year where mich st went 9-2.

mcguire's win % much higher than nick's at mich st. I seem some parallels in personality.

I hate to break it to you but those lines are not bettable. They are just pretend lines they set to drive traffic.

You cannot bet on who will be the next coach at LSU at any state-side casino sports book.

I think Lane stays at Ole Miss after stringing UF along, Florida gets Jeff Brohm or Glenn Schumann, and we hire Drinkwitz around thanksgiving. Just a gut feeling

From google AI:

"Yes, you can place bets on coaching searches, as BetOnline offers odds on future coaching positions, such as next head coach or next head coach fired..."

I'm not a gambler so I don't know. But if google is correct and if it's lawful to place a bet at a non-stateside sports book, can a bet actually be placed on who will become the next coach or is BetOnline just doing this for entertainment?

The difference is Texas Tech has a former player/booster who is giving a TON of money to the program, allowing TTU to sign players they ordinarily couldn't sign. Without that competitive advantage, McGuire was just an average HC. That booster isn't going to move with McGuire to a new school and there wouldn't be a huge spending gap between SEC schools as there is in the Big 12 with TTU outspending everyone by a somewhat significant margin.

Nick, at least, had been a HC prior to Mich. State and coached in the NFL for multiple years before taking the LSU job. McGuire was a HS coach before Aranda hired him

Betting doesn't just take place at casino's anymore grandpa. There's plenty of apps that you can bet that very thing on.

Every coach is benefitting from needing to spend to get players. McGuire is winning with a no star quarterback right now.

True.

But the discrepancy between what TTU is doing compared to the rest of the Big 12 is much, much greater than the discrepancy between SEC teams.

(Per 247) The No. 1 raked transfer class was LSU. No. 2 was Texas Tech.

The next highest ranked SEC transfer classes behind LSU were:

(4) Ole Miss
(7) Missouri
(8) Auburn
(10) Kentucky
(12) Oklahoma
(15) South Carolina
(16) Arkansas
(18) Miss. St.

The next highest ranked Big 12 class behind TTU was

(19) Colorado

If you look at it from a player rating average perspective, TTU was ranked 4th. The next highest Big 12 team: (29) Colorado.

TTU signed 7 of the top 100 rated transfers. No one else in the Big 12 singed more than 2

You all act like Drinkwitz has been working with a roster full of 4- and 5-star recruits. The guy can flat-out coach, he develops players, he’s an elite play-caller, and he’s won double-digit games at Missouri, which is no small feat.

The biggest strength he brings is his staff’s ability to scout and identify talent. Imagine what he could do with the resources and brand power of LSU behind him he’d absolutely thrive.

Just because he’s a bit of a goofball doesn’t mean he can’t win. We’ve had coaches before who were complete retards on the sidelines eating grass and needing subtitles to understand them.
