BR paper LSU's no.1 priority is saving its recruiting class, implied hire by next weekend

Rabalais - "It would be borderline torture, but LSU could wait another week to name a coach, until after the conference championship games. Waiting until after the College Football Playoff appears to be a nonstarter. The CFP semifinals won’t happen until New Year’s Eve. College football’s early signing period starts Dec. 15. Salvaging what is still a respectable recruiting class is a top priority."


"Rebuilding LSU’s once-proud brand — the one that saw the Tigers claim their third national title this century just two years ago — is the second priority. But first you need players, lots of good ones at critical positions, namely along both lines."


"There are indications that LSU is willing to pay the right man all the money in the world, something on the order of a $100 million deal. A deal that would reset the scales of coaching salaries in college football, and possibly the NFL, too."


Only posted part of his article. I had to pay to post this so you're welcome. The one clue Rabalais claims to have is, saving LSU's recruiting class is Woodward's top priority implying expect a move Sunday or by next weekend after conference titles have been played.
