National media predicts "a whirlwind of movement" coming soon from LSU and USC

Yahoo Sports - 2021 college football coaching carousel: Prepare for a whirlwind of movement with LSU, USC leading the way.
As we enter the closing kick of the 2021 season there are already nine open jobs in college football, so it’s unlikely that we'll reach the all-time high from 1973. But this year the college coaching space is poised to be the most chaotic the sport has seen and certainly will reverberate as transformational for how the so-called coaching carousel works for years to come.
The allure of getting a coach in place to accommodate the Dec. 15 early Signing Day has officially turned into a trend. These coaches have a chance to build rapport with current players and build a staff.
LSU
The LSU job is the most attractive on the market. And that’s not expected to change, regardless of any other movement. Until another coach is walked to the podium at the news conference by athletic director Scott Woodward, it’s safe to project Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher as the target here. That’s always been Woodward’s dream candidate, and his history of paying historic amounts for Fisher is the best empirical evidence of that desire. Who from there? The names are all familiar – James Franklin, Luke Fickell, Dave Aranda, Lane Kiffin and Mel Tucker. If it’s not Fisher, the name will be big and the price tag expensive. Expect the LSU-Texas A&M game to end the season in Baton Rouge to be a quintessential SEC spectacle.
USC
Much in the same way that Woodward covets Fisher, it’s safe to project that USC AD Mike Bohn would like to lure Luke Fickell to Los Angeles. Bohn hired Fickell at Cincinnati, and along with the hottest coach in the market, there’s some important familiarity. (Bohn hired Jon Embree at Colorado and he went 4-21, which will make a leader risk-averse.) The issues with Fickell’s courtship are Cincinnati’s chances to make the College Football Playoff, which would make a hire virtually untenable, and Fickell’s deep Midwest roots. Any courtship of Fickell would involve a plan for his family, as he and his wife, Amy, and six kids are grounded in Cincinnati. Regardless, USC will aim high with established boldfaced names like Matt Campbell, James Franklin and Dave Aranda as potential targets.

So basically a synopsis of what's been discussed on this board since before O was fired & nothing new?

Riveting stuff.
The good news is the national media is finally writing about the hire again, which means we are getting closer! Less than 3 weeks away

Except for one notable difference. Lincoln Riley was not mentioned at all as a candidate.

When the national media, like Yahoo Sports, puts LSU's football program ahead of USC and many others, that needs to be posted on TD. Don't melt, snowflake.

So we'll have LSU Bowl on 11/27 and we would know whether or not Jimbo is the hire on 11/28 or 11/29. If nobody named by the end of November then expect SW to hire a coach in the CFP and we won't know until December or January.

He doesn’t mention Riley which TD has already claimed is the new coach

With all the posting here about Riley on the CC board and so many supposed leaks, yet no mention of him as anyone's candidate by the national media. Either Jimbo is Woodward's lead DOG or Woodward has fooled all of the national sports media.

Riley has no connection to LSU like Fisher does.
Oklahoma recruiting will actually get a boost coming to the SEC, whereas A&M will have more competition with Texas joining the SEC.
Woodward is probably good friends with Fisher, don’t know if he met Riley before this search.
Riley to LSU makes no sense.

Connections don’t mean shite. You go after the better candidate regardless of how well you know them and right now Lincoln is the better candidate.
Frick that good ole boy shite.

Reading comprehension wasn’t your strength in school I see. If it was you would have known it’s not “exactly” the same not even close. There is zero mention of Lincoln Riley as a candidate. Go back to school!

In case you haven’t noticed, it’s Riley Day. But the national media’s makes no mention of Riley as a candidate. So the CC board and national media aren’t on the same page obviously. Not trying to be a smart arse just stating the facts.
