re: When the announcement is made who do you think it will be?

I think the list looks like this

1. Jimbo
2. Herman
3. Fedora
4. Gundy
5. O


Jimbo and Herman have been beat to death on this board and are pretty much the consensus top 2.

Fedora and Gundy are both very interesting to me. Both are brilliant offensive coaches that have had a lot of success at places that aren't used to winning. Both woukd put up big numbers at LSU. I think if one of them were to be coach it would be imperative to keep Aranda or hire a comparable replacement because they would not be bringing a history of great defenses with them.

O is O. His success will always be determined by the staff around him. He would keep the cabinets stocked with talents but without elite coaches around him I don't think he is winning more than 9 games a year.

I think in the end it will be Tom Herman and I think it's announced this weekend.
