I think Golesh is an intriguing guy myself but I don't think he's high on LSU's list. If they landed on him they probably struck out on a lot of people in front. Likely more a tier 3 guy.
Something not mentioned here a lot is LSU is a brand and they need their brand as a business to be exciting. So they need a splash hire for the brand. Is it the right decision? I don't think so because you miss out on guys like Saban at Michigan State.
This isn't LSU from the early 2000s they want big or go home. Golesh would only excite the most knowledgeable players in the fan base. 95% of people couldn't tell you who he is.

I’d much rather hire him than get into a Lane bidding war. Fantastic coach with some SEC experience as well.

I want this guy bigtime at LSU, I could be wrong, but he comes off as a winner and a culture/program builder.

Same. He has jumped up my list. Dude is a beast.

If LSU strikes out on Kiffin assuming he's at the top, I think they should seriously look at Golesh. I personally like him as well and honestly, any hire - even Kiffin - is risky.

His story is incredible. He truly came from nothing.

Still dont understand Kiffin hype. Guy has coached 8 places in 15 years it seems.

LSU is a brand and they need their brand as a business to be exciting. So they need a splash hire for the brand.

my thoughts exactly. Pay him $5 million per with a bunch of incentives. Take the 5-7 million you're saving annually and hire the best staff in America to go along with another #1 portal class. LSU would win immediately.

Brand is even more important due to NIL. If you're not exciting enough you lose the entire fan base and their collective initiatives.
You think LSU fired BK because he was good for the brand? They felt like he hurt the brand more than help so he was worth a buyout because he was bleeding money.
They're a business with deep pocket boosters. You still have to be an attractive brand for NIL and get your considerable contributions. Empty seats is not going to cut it and then you're losing money. You need to win and a splash hire immediately excites a fanbase that's down.
Also, expanding your brand expands NIL collectives as it brings new money in. How do you think LSU shot up in NIL contributions past few years? They courted new money into the collectives. LSU is 2nd right now behind Texas and they have 0 to show for it. Unacceptable. That's a huge amount of resources.
LSU has the resources but they're clueless how to navigate the NIL era. Lots of untapped potential right now. Sound familiar?

The new coach, regardless who they are, will have a sizable NIL war chest at his disposal.
And the new coach will probably run a very good offense, which brings excitement and puts butts in the seats...

This guy is such a cry baby bitch. Every week he finds some new way to be offended. Go watch the Traylor comments, not what he was saying at all. This is the same guy that got upset that Memphis fans booed his team for faking injuries, saying he had never been in a stadium where they would boo "injured" players yet he was on the coaching staff in Knoxville. If this guy makes to to the SEC, Kiffin might actually make him cry.

He said “there’s a bunch of dudes in that locker room that have bought into that process.”
The next Saban? lol

I like a coach who's a player's coach not an a-hole like BK who couldn't even tell you any player's name on his team. I want a guy where the player's will run through brick walls for him. Golesh is like that because he loves his players and they love him. He will do anything to defend them. I don't see that being a bad thing.
The old saying is your team is a reflection of the coach's personality. Which definitely applied to LSU over BK's tenure. Lifeless, soft, checked out, finesse, etc. They looked uninterested and unmotivated quite often. You could tell in BK just under 4 years here it had a lot of selfish players on the roster. Just like their HC.

I don't disagree with what you're saying but I still think brand is important for NIL collectives like I said above.
All this being said, it matters not if the coach they bring in wins. That's all that matters. He can be the most boring guy ever and if he wins constantly nobody is going to care. Your brand immediately flies up and collectives generate money.
