No. I'm not doing that for you. Rank them yourself.

Leonhard would be the biggest "get" from the list BUT, he turned down Saban, Fisher, & Taggart because he is committed to Wisky & isn't leaving.

Reeves you can't argue with his success at UAB but a lot of people wonder if its all him or if his success is just a product of HC Clark actually running the defense. Maybe/Maybe Not but even if it is, isn't that how coaches become great coaches, learning under a great coach? LSU just hired a OC & PCG because of their association with Brady who has been an OC, for a total of 1 year, seems like no one had a problem with that line of thinking. Another knock on Reeves is his lack of big time experience, hes coached high school, Div II, & Conf USA. He's never recruited &/or coached against the programs & talent of major college conferences or teams. His, or is it Clark's?,style of D is just what LSU would like to return to-nasty & disruptive.

Ash could be a great hire, he's coached in the Big Boy leagues at Wisky, Arkansas, OSU, & Texas & won a NC at OSU & he has experience as a HC. But will Sark retain him? Rumors are out there that he's reached out to Odom & Muschamp, supposedly they turned him down but does LSU have the luxury of sitting around waiting for Sark to make up his mind? If LSU wants him, send the money truck & make him say no on the spot, & if he does say no, move on.

Lukabufits the mold, like Freeman, that (word is) LSU is looking to hire-a young black coach who is an innovative defensive mind. He has NFL & major college coaching experience & success; he may not be a "grand slam" hire but I don't think anyone would be disappointed if that is who LSU gets.

Odomanother great hire with lots of experience but #1 he's on the minds of many programs right now & do we trust O to be able to go head to head & pull him to LSU? Or do we end up with another Freeman situation where all of LSU's eggs are in one basket &, at the last minute, LSU is left at the coaching alter & now has to start all over? There would be lots of excitement with an Odom hire but just how realistic is that?

SteeleNot gonna happen.

1a. Arnett
1b. Odom
3. Leonhard (being in the South is the unknown for him)
4. Pruitt (first off, he's currently still a head coach; we know he can do it at a high level; would he be clean enough to hire; would he mesh with Orgeron?)
5. Ash (I think he's a good option and at least we know he can do it a high level from his 1 year in the SEC and his time at UW and OSU; I think he has a much higher floor than some of the other options, but maybe not as high of a ceiling)
6. Quinn (he's a good coordinator and he's been in the SEC before)
7. Nielsen (ultimate risk/reward play; we know he can recruit, we know he can coach, can he scheme?)
8. Brown (doing goods things, plays how Orgeron wants to play, and I think he played for Orgeron)
9. Shumann (similar to Reeves as we know who really runs those defenses, but we know he can recruit)
8. Reeves (also a risk/reward play; how much of it is him?; not as much potential upside as Nielsen)
9. Richard (can he adjust to college football?)
10. Steele (no explanation needed; I don't think he'd fit with Orgeron)
11. Muschamp (is he burned out?; I don't think he'd fit with Orgeron)
12. Lukabu (another risk/reward play, but he has a much lower floor and he hasn't been anywhere long enough to know if he's actually good at coaching, scheming, or recruiting)
