re: LSU considered premier coaching job

Wrong.

At least in terms of job security, any top school in a less competitive conference with a lighter schedule is as good a gig as an SEC job.

Look at Pete Carroll's performance at SC.
Best material in the country by far.
Easiest BCS conference.
A team that has underperformed every year except 2004.
No job pressure on Carroll whatsoever.
THAT's a great gig.

By comparison, take a top SEC job and you're up against Miles, Spurrier, Saban, Meyer, Richt, Petrino. You win a MNC at your alma mater and a few years later you're fired! Fans expect to be in the MNC hunt every year. After a couple of 8-9 win seasons you're on the hot seat. That ain't the best gig.
