So no one thinks it’s Fickell?

I’m not arguing who the coach should be. It’s obvious that he is a top candidate for many jobs but has only worked in the Midwest (neither Saban nor Miles were SEC/southern guys before coming to LSU either so I don’t think that’s a real factor), etc. etc.
I’m more referring to the fact that many praise SW for his (1) lack of leaks and (2) his ability to sign guys everyone wants. (Jimbo, Peterson, Kim, etc.) There’s also be so many posts about people thinking there’s already a deal in place. Most are about Riley, some have been about Jimbo.
However, Fickell has by far been the least talked about candidate of the bunch (aka no leaks). Has more skins on the wall than Aranda or Napier (two perceived front runners) as a HC and currently has Cincy ranked in the top 4.
A Fickell hire feels very Jay Johnson to me. Not the top resume but good experience and production with the ability to become dominant at a top tier program.

No. Apparently Fickell has a shock collar that activates whenever he leaves the Midwest.

I’m beginning to believe it’s nobody, because the other option seems to be everybody

Just read he’s interested in the Florida job.

I'd like Fickell if I can't get Riley. Next would be Aranda.

I would blow a gasket

IF we could get Fickell, announcement most likely not until Dec 5 since his conference championship game is on Dec 4.

I would too! That would suck!!!

Don’t think it’s him, but would be OK if he’s the hire.
Personally I believe he’s holding out for the Ohio State job to come open.

So is he staying at Cincinnati for the next 10 to 20 years ? Cause Day ain’t going nowhere anytime soon

FTR yes I think it’s a very real possibility it’s him and would be a true white whale hire imo.

I do too, he makes as much sense as the other options if not more
Posted on 11/23/21 at 9:07 pm to GeauxJZK
I do. We’ve heard rumors about him not wanting to leave the mid west, but I’m not sure that’s been verified. Aside from that, it’s been strangely quiet around him as a possibility.
Posted on 11/23/21 at 9:10 pm to GeauxJZK
To be honest, I view Fickell as a tougher pull than Riley.
So no, I don't think so.

If he's interested in Florida surely Woodward can get him interested in LSU.
