There is NO way Fisher is coming to LSU. The boosters will not have it. End of chapter.

Among the three at no.1, Dabo, Fisher and Fickell? I'm guessing Fickell is the one Woodward is trying hard for. Only because the other two have probably said no.

Oh, and how do you know these names are in anyway accurate?

There was like a top ten list circulating on the web, a group of coaches that many agreed with that were on Woodward's list, a list which included Gundy and Christobal. I don't think these two made Woodward's top four.

Among the eight mentioned, IMO Fickel, Kiffin, Aranda and Napier would come. The other four won’t come due to already high salary along with current high profile job. So who would be your choice of these four?

That makes sense. I do not see Riley or Dabo leaving. I have no idea how one would conduct such a search. To me, I would want to have a very solid psychological profile on any potential candidate. Such would have disqualified Coach Idiot and Coach Dumbass before him. I wonder if one such profile could be constructed vicariously through a thorough review of the person's behavior over time. Hmmmmm...

LSU has won three titles with three different coaches so you know some high profile coach on Woodward's list seems willing to come to LSU. That guy could be Fickell.

Hiring Kiffin would be a bigger mistake than hiring O was.

If Woodward actually wanted Fisher, I would be stunned.

I have said that I am not able to conduct such a search, but I like Aranda's approach to the game. I think Kiffin would attract top-flight offensive players. I know less about the other two. If one were convinced that Fickel really wanted to come to LSU long-term to build a championship program, I would consider him.

Riley
Franklin
Kiffin
Aranda/Napier

That would be my order of preference. I imagine it’s pretty damn close to Woody’s too.

These 3 are intriguing.

Aranda- I'm not so worried about his record at Baylor right now; I think he has a very, VERY tightly conceived idea about what would excel in a program. Seems like a Saban reincarnation, but without (?) the desire to move to the NFL, that Saban had.

Kiffin- boy genius, with all the irresponsibility that implies; but I wonder if he's started to mature now. A couple of the interviews recently seem to indicate he has. I think he understands that he fricked up in the past, but a shot with LSU could restore all the potential he had a decade ago.
My worry would be that he DOES still harbor a desire to go back to the NFL eventually, and prove he can do it at that level.

Fickell- hard to get a good read on him. Is he the latest mid-major genius?

Fickell would be an excellent hire. There’s someone at the top of the list that has not yet told Woodward no. That’s either Fickell or Riley. Dabo and Fisher likely have already said no.
