If we had to pick one for the HC job today.

I’d go with Kiffin. I believe his previous stints as HC’s were too early in his career and he wasn’t ready. Him being an OC under Saban was his growing up time. He’s ready to be a P5 HC now IMO. What better place for the Lane Train to take off than Baton Rouge?

He’s got that personality that CFB loves and I feel like our entire fan base would feed off it similar to how we are with Will Wade on a smaller scale of course.

Kiffin, simply because of experience.


Would rather have a defensive minded HC in SEC though

As much as I love Aranda, I wouldn't hire him as a first time HC for a program like LSU. To much riding on him being able to handle things off the field that we aren't sure he can do.

I would go with Kiffen as well- You have to have an arrogance about you to be a major football coach.

He was very young at his other posts and is still young now but with a ton of experience. I believe he will be very successful at his next stop after Florida Atlantic.

Reminder, we have DL coach as HC currently.

I’d take Aranda in a heartbeat. Kirby seems to be starting out ok with his first gig.

I agree. He’s the perfect DC. all we can hope is that he is content with being a high paid SEC DC. Some guys don’t want the burden that comes with being a head coach.

Kiffin keeps fooling you all. We know what he is.

Aranda is the GOAT.

I do not want Kiffen anywhere around LSU in any capacity, at any price.
Same with Briles, Petrino, Feeze.

Imagine the shite he would talk about Saban as the LSU HC? Especially if he beats him..

It would change the whole mentality in the bama LSU series. All of a sudden bama fans who claim we aren’t rivals would say we are.

Good God some of you forget what LSU was before Saban. Keep Aranda and assumes he hires someone competent. Miles and Orgeron have a collective IQ of 75

Lane Kiffin and it is not even close. Players LOVE him and he will not have any drop off in recruiting on either side of the ball.

Aranda. Georgia gave Kirby a shot and it's worked for them. I think Aranda is that caliber of coach
