How about Mike Martz? He's been out of the league for several years being an analyst for Fox Sports. Maybe reach out to him. Guice is very much like Marshall Faulk also. I'd love to see Saban game plan for his offense.

I think this is the case

Meh. We took Craig Nall (Super Dozen), Davey, and got Booty back as a "walk-on" - you can say we didn't overlook him, but we did.

Please somebody from the Art Briles coaching tree besides himself. All of the points and none of the rape.

If not, Tee Martin is actually intriguing since they switched to a more Pro Spread since Helton took over at SC.


I know their offense has improved leaps and bounds over the course of the season, but that Bama game worries me. He didn't look like he was capable of taking on Saban. We need someone who can at least make us competitive with them on offense.

Norm Chow could be a positive hire. Although, totally out of the realm of possibility.

They did. It was just always with Ward instead of an RB. I think that was just a product of their roster. Herman ran Elliot plenty at OSU. I assume Applewhite wouldn't overlook the backs at LSU.

Tony Franklin did really good things at Cal with Jared Goff, and has MTSU at #6 in the country total offense right now.

LSU needs to hire Art Briles as OC. He'd take the job in a minute, and I can't think of a better fit for someone to guide O through the HC transition and to run a dynamic, balanced offense.


You can not hire Art Briles man you people are about as perceptive as someone in a fricking coma. How the hell can that man go anywhere and recruit? How the hell will anyone respect him after what has allowed to happen. Damn I question going after Kiffin because of character traits and you want someone who did nothing about young women getting raped. Do you have a daughter? Because if you did you sure as hell wouldn't want this man anywhere around the program or any other.

What about trying for Kingsbury? His time as HC in Lubbock is nearing an end.

Exactly. You know Herman was planning and running that offense. Orgeron can't take the chance on anyone that isn't an absolutely proven OC.

Bama Total Offense 2007 ranked No. 65. Saban fires Applewhite, whose offense scored 14 whole points agains Louisiana Monroe.

Texas Total Offense 2013 ranked No. 66. Brown get's fired and Applewhite is shown the door after screwing a student trainer.

Applewhite's only success was running Herman's offense; we absolutely can not give this guy the job.

What about Matt Canada from Pittsburgh?
I'm not saying he's the guy for LSU, and Pitt's defense certainly punched above their weight that day, but this is a masterpiece.
