Grand Slams

1. Lane Kiffin
2. Kenny Dillingham

Home Runs

3. Marcus Freeman
4. Brent Key




LSU botched it

5. Eli Drinkwitz
6. Clark Lea
7. Jon Sumrall

Lanning and Saban won’t happen. Not sold on Joe Brady either.

For what it’s worth, I think Kiffin, and Dillingham are the Top 2 and both are grand slams. Freeman and Key are home runs, with some reservation. Not sold on Drinkwitz, Lea, or Sumrall at all.

Some might ask why I consider LSU botching it if Lea or Drinkwitz are the guy, and consider Key a home run. Key’s age, spirit, aggressiveness, and toughness I think translate very well to LSU.

End of the day I think the list boils down to Kiffin, Dillingham, Freeman, Key, or Drinkwitz. One of those 5 are the next HC.

If not Kiffin, Cristobaw. Don't particularly care for any of the other options being floated

Yes. Young, defensive wizard, excellent recruiter, motivated, players coach, relatable.

Took ND to Title last year, ND will be in playoffs again.

Like I said a step below Kiffin and Dillingham, but the differences between Freeman and Kelly couldn’t be more vast.

He took them to a Title a decade before LSU hired him. Freeman did it just last season. Freeman is young, Kelly was in his 60’s. Freeman is still motivated, and we learned Kelly was not. Kelly is an offensive guy, Freeman a defensive guy.

Look I’d prefer Kiffin and Dillingham, but ruling out Freeman just because Kelly didn’t work out here is pretty short sighted.

Dude it’s everybody’s opinion about their own hot board. You used a shitty comparison in regards to Kelly as your argument. I then nullified your argument and you hit me with a “Freeman is NOT coming here”

You gotta counter better than that. You’re making no sense.

I never even said Freeman WAS coming here. Just said your comparison to Kelly is short sighted. You have no argument against that.

If we're including Cignetti, then give me Andy Reid, Dan Campbell, and Kirby Smart as options too.

Cignetti only being A tier...you don't know ball. Apologize to the board immediately.
