Jason Candle (Toledo)

I hear a lot of big time names being thrown around for the search. Names that would require basically deals like we saw Jimbo get. At this point, I think an up and coming coach who knows at least one side of the ball at a minor school would have better odds of fixing this team. Toledo has a history or great head coaches.

Jason Candle seems to be a coach who is young and offensive minded and understands football. I think if he came to LSU he would work hard to prove himself and put in the time required. With a huge name, you never know who is going to just rest on their laurels and who will actually do a good job. The idea of us being in a Jimbo situation here is scary. A Jason Candle type hire would be safer money wise and have huge potential for a long time great hire. Of course it has downsides but nothing is a sure thing.
