re: Does anyone think we have someone lined up already?

Short list with some interest already polled.

After last year and the non-firing, LSU would have trouble getting comfortable big name coaches in the gap between bowl game and signing day in Feb to publicly show interest because of rugs being pulled out from them.

Now, there's no doubt the position is indeed open and if another coach wants to go out on a limb if an offer has been made, he knows he won't be left hanging with a pissed off current employer and no where to go to.
