I'm down for Musselman, slam dunk.

Why would Scott Drew leave Baylor for LSU exactly? Does he have ties?

Is it, though? Do we know if he can recruit?

His father is close with Dale Brown and coached on his first staff at LSU. LSU would allow Drew the opportunity to recruit the EXACT SAME AREA he does at Baylor now (TX and LA). It would be a tough sell, no question, and LSU would have to be willing to pay at least $3 million per. The selling point would be that he could get paid extremely well; have the same players, but compete in a less daunting conf.; and escape an Athletic Dept. which is likely under a microscope after all of the negative attention they've gotten in the last 15 years.

Musselman would be a good coach, but I just don't think he would be long for LSU if he has quick success. The guy doesn't really have ties to the region (other than his one season at LSU) and he's never been hesitant to move jobs. I think every season LSU would be dealing with a bit of a Saban-like situation where there is talk that he would leave. Now you could say that about all coaches, but Musselman has job-hopped a ton in his career.

If that is the three names, then Musselman is probably the most realistic. However, LSU would be wise to at least consider Steve Forbes at ETSU. The guy is a big time recruiter in this region and can coach. A lot of people would not be shocked at all if he beats Florida on Thursday. He's not staying at ETSU long, and someone is likely going to get a hell of a coach in him.

His dad Homer was once an assistant here under Dale.

LSU does a "Double" hire from the same school; Drew for the men and Kramer's mom for the women.

Seriously, Musselman all the way!

Jump on board the Plejaren Beamship Steamroller for Musselman. Launched in 2015 when it was clearly apparent that Jones was incompetent and in over his head...........

To get away from the black cloud over the entire athletic dept at Baylor from the football program rape scandal.

Or to use LSU as leverage for a raise/extension to stay at Baylor.
