So where does LSU's search for Orgeron's replacement rest?

Mel Tucker remains a significant person of interest for the Tigers, per sources with direct knowledge, but the second-year Michigan State coach also is being courted to remain atop the Spartans' program.


A source Sunday told FootballScoop that LSU continues to see if there's interest from Jimbo Fisher in a reunion with his former boss, Scott Woodward, who hired Fisher to his present post at Texas A&M, as well as a return for Fisher to LSU.

The other potential LSU candidate continuing to be discussed for the LSU job is Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley. Scott Woodward knows a Riley hire would bring a new found level of excitement to the Bayou.

Multiple current Power 5 assistants in recent days have told FootballScoop that Riley's name continues to circulate among the industry and within coaching circles.

Love when articles say the same shite we've already know and hide behind shite like, "a source tells us."

As one industry expert said, “You always have to listen. But he legit has the greatest coaching deal probably ever, so they (LSU) would have to make it somehow better.”


No thank you

I found the "multiple p5 assistants" talking about Riley to LSU interesting.

I don’t see anything earth shattering there. That article could have been written the day after the firing.

If that’s the list, should just promote from within and try to hire a real coach next year

Fickell and Rhule as wild cards.

“We browsed Tigerdroppings and 24/7. Here’s what we learned, presented as if we have any real sources…”

I believe multiple outlets did that, including ESPN. I distinctly remember an ESPN breaking news scroll about it.

But these things are fluid. It's nearly impossible for the news to keep up with someone changing their mind in real time.

I tend to believe there was an agreement with Herman, it got out, and he changed his mind.

There is only one reason I believe this story has credibility and that is our history of making stupid decisions on coaching hires. If we hire Mel Tucker based on one good season........the program deserves what it gets.

We'd be hiring Tucker or Napier because they coached for Saban, and we're obsessed with Saban.
