I’ll happily take anyone from #3 on down.

I think the smoke is actually out there and quite clear, we just don’t want it to be true. I know a lot of people laugh at the idea of not wanting Jimbo... but man that hire would really be uninspiring & I have major concerns about his offense (Germans, I’m aware).

What’s Rabalais’ track record on coaching searches (I have no clue)? 247 saying the same thing. All I can say is I hope this is misdirection.

Is there a story there? Rabs is a writer so yea... but he’s no Gilbeau. Think he actually likes covering the Tigers.

The staff at 247 hasn't said anything about a top 3. Also, only one of the 4 legitimate insiders on 247 has said Jimbo, while the others are staying quiet. Still waiting on Riley to respond to the huge offer we've given him has been hinted at by most of the insiders.

That being said, 247 is starting to look like this forum, with a bunch of people claiming to know things from their neighbor's cousin's step uncle who delivers hay to Jimbo's ranch.

I would trust Scott’s opinion on where to get some good pizza. The coaching search? Not so much

He wrote a long arse piece on Tucker painting him as an LSU guy because he coached DBs here for one season 20 years ago

Rabalais' odds on the next coach:
quote:


- Jimbo: 5-1

WHAT ARE THE ODDS? Aggies have bounced back from a slow start and are 17-3 the past two seasons. Jimbo still looks like the apple of Woodward’s eye. Odds 5-1.

- Tucker: 7-1

WHAT ARE THE ODDS? A 40-29 loss to Purdue does little to dim Tucker’s star if you’re looking at his overall resume. We’ll rank him just behind Fisher for now. Odds 7-1.

- Aranda: 20-1

WHAT ARE THE ODDS? A 30-28 loss to TCU, dropping Aranda’s career record to 9-9, reminds you how small a sample size he has as a head coach. Odds 20-1.

- Kiffin: 25-1

WHAT ARE THE ODDS? Do more than gain a lot of yards, Lane. Win a big game and we’ll talk. Saturday would be a start. Odds 25-1.

- Franklin: 30-1

WHAT ARE THE ODDS? Snapped three-game losing streak with 31-14 win at Maryland. Odds grow longer each week. Odds 30-1.

- Napier: 30-1

WHAT ARE THE ODDS? UL won its fourth straight SBC West title, edging Georgia State 21-17. Very good coach, but needs to take lower-level Power 5 job first. Odds 30-1.

- Riley: 35-1

WHAT ARE THE ODDS? Idle last week, if Riley’s Sooners keep winning they’ll be back in the CFP (currently No. 8). LSU can’t wait out the playoffs for a coach. Odds 35-1.

- Fickell: 50-1

WHAT ARE THE ODDS? Bearcats barely won again, beating Tulsa 28-20. If they stay unbeaten and get in the CFP, Fickell is off the list. Odds 50-1.

Writers will always want the guy that gives them the most clicks. First black coach in lsu history would be a jackpot for rabalais. They’ll always try their best to speak these situations into existence that benefits them and only them

Thanks Cs.

Didn’t realize he had Kiffin 25-1. That’s a clown car.

Looks like Riley’s odds are much greater if they would lose and get eliminated from playoff contention
The question is would this actually require them [OU] to lose?

Tucker is a fraud. Big Ten admitted the officiating sucked and contributed to his "big" win vs. shite the bed prone Michigan.

I really don’t dislike him it’s just asinine to think he’s a better candidate than Aranda.

And it’s always some retarded angle like “he’s really good at recruiting from the portal!”

Rabalais cannot write . Purple prose . Knows nothing . Will tow the SJW line of the newspaper he writes for because he knows nothing .
