Kenny Dillingham is a better coach than Heupel

After watching many Kenny Dillingham interviews, he reminds me a ton of Will Wade. He’s incredibly hungry, firey, and younger. The kind that’d walk 50 miles to see a recruit on Christmas. He wants one thing, and that is to win. He’s who I want if Kiffin or Saban don’t workout.
2021/2022 Arizona St went 3-9 and were hit with a scholarship ban due to Herm Edwards aka Tony Dungee illegal recruiting
2022 Jayden and several others transfer out of Arizona St leaving them with mostly backups
1st season was rough 3-9
In just his 2nd season he brought the team to the CFP 11-2, and if there was fair reffing on a targeting by UT safety, it should’ve been Arizona St in the CFP Semi’s. Keep in mind he did this on a scholarship ban, and high school recruits were probably skiddish to commit with the sanctions
This year 6-3
I don’t think Heupel would lead LSU well. Maybe that’s because his physical appearance, but he’d be further down the list for me

Somebody said this is Heupel in 2 years if he takes the LSU job, lol.

I think this is a big thing for people,
consciously or not, and all i can think about is Moneyball when Peter said the Cleveland GM didn’t want Kevin Youkillis because he waddled like a duck.
If you can hire Josh, hire him

They are both better than BK/Sloan/Nuss.
I’ll gladly take either

Heupel wouldn't survive Louisiana food no doubt lol
I honestly do not see the love for Dillingham but eh, everyone has someone they like. Yeah, ASU sucks arse historically but he's not exactly lighting the world on fire over there either with their soft as toilet paper SOS. Their SOS last year wasn't even that good. It was like 30-40th in the country. I guess you would coast into the playoffs when the committee favors records instead of SOS which is beyond dumb. And yes, I realize there's plenty of coaches who weren't lighting the world on fire that turned into a stud like Nick Saban.
Heupel is a much better option in my opinion because he has done it in the SEC for a program that was the doormat for 20 years. I don't think he'd leave Tenn for LSU though.

Both would win big at LSU. We would need to hide the gumbo from Heupel for his own good.

I can see that. But will wade is what LSU needed for basketball. I'm not so sure that's what LSU needs for football. But I wouldn't hate it

Iam not ready to buy into the dillingham hype. 6-3 in there league is not very impressive. Someone change my mind on why he should be the next coach because I just don't see it.

Committee also royally messed up the playoff brackets last year which is how a team like ND who had absolutely no business being in a NC game fell in there. Plus they had tons of luck fall in their lap. Luck of the Irish. ASU played well in their game so they did have that at least.
Heupel has turned Tenn into a consistent competitor in the SEC and they haven't done that since the late 90s. He's a way better option than Dillingham. Heupel is also young and has plenty of opportunity to grow as a coach to get better.

If LSU were to get Lane Kiffin late in the season, Ole Piss would be left with getting coach Tony Bologna as their HC.

Youd have to be braindead to turn down Huepel.
Not only does he have SEC experience and one hell of an offense, hes been to a playoff.
If he says "i want to come to LSU" you drop everything else and you take him.
This fanbase doesnt even know what it wants.

We have to clean up our house before we are going to be able to convince anyone to come and accept the Head Coaching job. Especially with the Gov still involved and our new AD going to be axed come June/July now.
