Sometime during the next decade, the Associated Press and coaches' polls finally get it right and decide to abolish their preseason polls. The first polls won't be released until Oct. 1. Remarkably, Notre Dame will still be No. 1.

Don't rule out Will Muschamp taking the LSU or Georgia job. Whichever opens first.

It's quite likely one of these jobs, or both of them, will come open in the next three years. If he's not the HC of Texas yet, Muschamp will very seriously think of jumping from Texas on the grounds that Mack is never gonna retire.
He's the one exception to my co-ordinator rule. LSU would take Muschamp in a NY minute.

It just seems that Muschamp would have been able to get a promotion elsewhere a lot faster than waiting for Mack to leave.

At he same time I'm sure UT threw a boatload of money at him, making his decision a lot easier at the time

I think Mark believes Miles will leave for Michigan and then whoever we hire doesn't do well and then we hire Kirby Smart. If Miles were to leave within the next few years, I don't see us keeping a coach for 6 years without a title.

Interesting - would Smart be ready by next season for that job in your opinion?

A few corrections:
#3 Will be Saban
#4 Will more likely if they hire an assistant
Muschamp.

He was believable until...
At least he left himself an out with Harbaugh.

The Wolverines will return to national prominence -- under current LSU coach Les Miles or Stanford coach (and UM alumnus) Jim Harbaugh.

if there isn't a huge hire, Alleva might as well pack up.
If his job depended on performance, then yes, that would be true. However, if the LSU AD job depended on performance, Joe Dean would have been gone long before he actually was.
Like everything in Louisiana, LSU is a purely political enterprise. It's not how well you do or what you know, it's who you know and how tight you are with the power brokers. That's why just about everything at LSU and in Louisiana in general is so fricked up, with the exception of a couple of Tiger sports programs.
About the only jobs at LSU in which you can be fired for poor performance are the head coaching jobs in the major sports, and even then you have to frick up beyond anyone's worst nightmares to actually be fired.

WTF? Doesn't everyone know this dude can't coach?
No. Unfortunately, some of the more slow-witted folks still think he can. Even more unfortunate is that some of them are in charge at LSU.

No but it is remotely likely Smart will get a HC gig at some small school long before the end of the decade.

He was just having some fun. None of it is going to happen.

True, but he is set. The minute he shows even passing interest in another school, Mack Brown calls a news conference.

Muschamp would be the only assistant we'd hire.
I think LSU fans would love him. He's tough, he's a good ole boy and he loves football.

A news conference for what? I'm pretty sure that Mack Brown is going to coach for as long as he wants and as long as Texas wants him. The thought that a coach who is only 58 and has been consistently successful at a top program for the past decade and is making $5 million a year would put the continuity of the program ahead of his own career is flat out ridiculous.
Why is it that everybody talks of Mack Brown retiring but not Nick Saban? They are the same age.
