re: Tweet from Shannon terry founder of 247

I think he is in the binder just not maybe at the very top because of what happened at Baylor.

tigerbaitlawyer who had the only correct info about the HC search said this:

He is being "vetted" He is not the top choice for two obvious reasons. 1) The Baylor BS but Admin knows it needs a proven OC and are willing to risk an "image problem" only if 2/3 other candiates turn them down first. They are worried about Briles's effect on recruiting. O wants to move to a power spread system and obviously, Briles fits that bill. the question is he worth the risk. 2) Briles wants a HC job and will exhaust all HC options before starting serious talks. Sounded like Briles will chase every D1 job like Miles 1st. LSU's OC money aspect is attractive to him though. An attractive alternative is Gilbert. He did a good job at Texas given only a year. Admin would rather the name Briles over his protege. My opinion is Briles is in the 3-5 range in the binder for backs ups to Kiffin. Patience is the key. LSU KNOWS THIS IS MUST BE A HOMERUN HIRE!!!!!
