re: LSU is one of the top jobs in the country as much as I hate to say it.

very possible. he's bombing in NFL. Hopefully he goes to LSU and then we can spend the next X # of years talking about how he "couldn't cut it in the nfl and he's looking for a chance to fix that failure on his resume". It seems like LSU fans get so much joy out of making this same claim about Saban.

2. Jimbo Fisher;
What LSU fans don't seem to want to look at is that Jimbo has a $5M buyout at FSU. So LSU is going to pay $15M+ to get rid of Les and then another $5M+ to get Jimbo? $20M just to CHANGE coaches, that doesn't count the HC's salary moving forward. Not happening.

Nope

NWU alum. Prolly not happening even though LSU is a much better job.

5. Justin Fuente;
6. Tom Herman.
Grouped together in the "meh" category. Look great in this one year at UH and Fuente has steadily improved Memphis, but not sure either is classified as of yet as the Home Run hire that Meyer was seen as coming out of Utah.
I would bet on "the field" if these 6 were the candidates to choose from.

I hope we have this problem

probably true but Les' buyout spread over 8 years helps. 15M is 15M but when you can finance something at 9% interest, it keeps that balance sheet attractive.

I'd be cautiously optimistic with Fuentes but pumped for Herman.

if you're going to spend $15 million to buy out the coach you don't want, you really think LSU wouldn't spend another $5.5 to get the coach they do want?

You have to at least try with Jimbo. If that won't happen you go to Mullen. If he also says no then offer Fitzgerald double his salary.

1. He's done in the NFL and that's ok. Saban and Spurrier did the same things.
2. LSU would find the money if Jimbo said yes.
3. Patterson appears somewhat frustrated about his ceiling at TCU. He even visited Bama to get recruiting advice. best advice is to move to better school and conf
4. I'm sure money and winning take a back seat to being an alumnus.
5. Herman and Fuente are back ups. Would not consider unless the rejections start coming in.

I've heard my share of criticisms about Saban from LSU fans, but I don't remember anyone stating this. Certainly not multiple posters so as to reflect a trend.

Herman would get that label in another year or two, but in today's coaching marketplace, a guy like Urban Meyer staying at a Utah for a few seasons is unlikely. Someone will throw money early looking for the next big guy. But he still fits the bill more than Fuente.
Fedora and Mullen aren't on this list. Neither is Wittingham. They would be considered before Fuente, and probably before Herman because they are all established Power 5 guys. LSU would be some level of step up for any of them.
