Beginning to think it may be Bob Stoops or Chris Petersen

Chicken, if this is still off limits - my apologies. Feel free to delete.

I think we can all agree Hanagriff is more reputable than the other radio guys and probably knows more.

He said today on his podcast that he has heard from several people that LSU is not interested in paying another coach's buyout. I think Jimbo technically doesn't have a buyout, but I don't think it will be him. Not saying they WON'T pay a buyout if necessary, but they'd prefer not to.

Hanagriff mentioned Petersen or Stoops - both are out of coaching and would have no buyout obviously. I think both are also Jimmy Sexton clients. Both of those would be Woodward-esque hires for sure.

I would prefer we go a different direction, but out of those 2 give me Petersen all day

Stoops time has passed, this isn’t 1999. W was President the last time Bob Stoops won a big game

Mark Stoops is a much better candidate than Bob Stoops in 2021

I find it very interesting that when the USC job opened up, Petersen said he had no interest in returning to coaching, but when the LSU job was clearly going to open up, he began telling people behind the scenes he'd come back for the "right" job.

He's my #2 choice of anyone out there not named Saban.

I wouldn't count him out, especially with his past ties to Woodward.

ETA: No inside knowledge.

I'm pretty sure most of the good coaches (with good agents) have one-sided buyouts... meaning they can leave for free but get paid to be fired.

I think Kiffin has a very low buyout. Somewhere in the 3-5 mil range.

Didn't Petersen's name come up last go-round?

I also think he's a pretty staunch atheist, which could provide quite the butting of heads down here (maybe not)

Hearing from a friend that the coach is already in place. Supposedly the word is "show stopper" Dabo, Jimbo. Or Stoops IMO. Announcement soon

Petersen seems like a logical/perfect fit for USC

Would make sense after this mid season move. Can announce Ed gone, but salvage the recruits by naming a guy who isn’t currently invested with a competing program.

Chris Petersen made it a point to say he is fully retired and has no plans on coaching again.

Petersen is not going to move to Louisiana. He's not going to trade one piece of shite democrat Governor for another.

at this time its not starting to be anyone. He is just starting the vetting process much less started interviewing. A canidate like aranada, tucker, franklin, napier etc could all tank like crazy and be out the picture completely.

he has atleast 5 weeks to get everything done. Some of you need to calm down with the feelings that it will be this person or that person.

Petersen would be extremely surprising. Stoops would be disappointing and surprising at the same time. He's been out of coaching too long.

Doesn’t Petersen have a kid (probably grown now) with some rare disease that is treated by a Dr. in Seattle?
