I would be pleased with any of these names, but only if we start with Tier 1 and work our way down. LSU is a sleeping giant due to recruiting. Every coach in the last two decades have won a championship by year 3(Saban at year 4 but he had a lot more building to do). Just for once can we hire a coach that has the ability to make in game adjustments, sustain a positive culture within the locker room, and not be a PR nightmare. These guys I believe will achieve all of that, Kiffen being the only question when it comes to PR.

Tier 1
-James Franklin
-Mario Cristobal
-Luke Fickell

Tier 2
-Jamey Chadwell
-Billy Napier
-Lane Kiffen

Tier 3
-Hugh Freeze
-Jimbo Fisher
-Billy O’Brian

Reminds me of the baseball search when we ended up with somebody nobody even mentioned after weeks of waiting.
And it was our # 1 choice too. Right?

Anybody else get the letter asking if you want to apply to be the LSU football HC?
Mine was sent by bulk mail, addressed to "Occupant".

Should Saban and Debo at least be made to say no?

Do not agree with your list.

Do not agree with those tiers.

I want no part of any of the Tier 3 coaches. I'll live with Tier 2 guys. Only guy I'd be over the moon about would be Fickell.

I'd live with Franklin and would be happy with Cristobal and Chadwell. Would live with Napier and Kiffin as well.

Throw Jimbo and BOB out and dont include Ms Meyer and try again in Tier 3.

PS. I would throw the bank at Dabo Sweeney, but wouldnt hold my breath, but hell yes, Id make him say No. And then I would smooth talk Lane Kiffen, something about having the athletes to beat Saban.

You don’t know that he was or wasn’t. What I do know is he’s an outstanding coach and I trust Woodward to have back up plans should he need them that don’t involve hiring a coach nobody else would ever want.

There is no search- only in here. LSU has a coach as far as the administration is concerned and he is not going anywhere this year so get over it!

We shall see how outstanding of a coach Johnson really is and if Woodward actually has any "plans" with the football program.

I’d argue that Freeze is as good, if not better, than the majority of your list yet he is last?

When is the last time LSU has hired a big name, sought after head football coach? And don't even say Saban as you will show your ignorance.
