If Chip and Philly really do part ways, would he choose us over USCw?

Let him go there. That style of offense won't win consistently in the SEC.

it's interesting really.

many just feel he is a "west coast guy"

so naturally assume he would go back to the pac.

idk why but i have this weird feeling he probably admires or respects LSU.

would be interesting

Urban only won 2 national titles in his what, 5 years at florida running a similar offense

I don't think go to either but people overrate his west coast ties

Why?

It's incredible. People were saying the same exact thing with Urban Meyer and he came in and completely wrecked shop.

or you know he could go to the Titans or any other NFL team with an open head coaching spot.

Urban didn't run a blazing fast uptempo, point a minute offense and actually cared enough for a defense worth a crap.

I won't say he's a bad hire, he'd be damn good except for defense, but just not better than Jimbo. Jimbo checks every box on the list

- QB mastermind
- Offensive genius
- Actually wants a defense
- Has won a national championship
- Has won his division 4 of 6 years and conference 3 of 6 years (last 3 in a row)
- Has heavy recruiting ties to Florida and has recruited Louisiana territory extensively
- Recruits national as per his time at Auburn, he used connects to lure Russell from Alabama. He did this again and lured Jameis Winston from Alabama to Florida St. Lured the top DE from Virginia last year, and many more
- Coached 7 years at LSU
- Runs a modern pro style offense that attacks every level of the defense. Since we already run pro style, it won't be a huge transition for us.

Now I will say that what he ran at Oregon would be hugely successful with Louisiana QBs and athletes. I just think he is more of a West Coast guy and Jimbo a southern guy. Plus it would take a couple of years to transition to that style while Jimbo can hit the ground running.

I doubt it. Although crazy as it sounds, I could see a guy like Kelly picking a job like Miami over us. I feel like he does not have the personality or temperament for the bubble that is any big sec coaching job. His offense would work great in the acc and he could get arguably better talent there than he did way up in Oregon. He also wouldn't be under the microscope like he would from local media as its a big city where he would be just one section on the sports page.

His stint in the NFL has likely made him a better coach.
