Go to the 31:50 mark
He was discussing the USC job with an agent off the record and he told Josh that USC is not in any hurry to find a coach because he believes the LSU job will be open and there will be candidates trying to leverage themselves for the opening spots. I’m just happy we don’t have Alleva anymore being used for the LSU job like the Tom Herman fiasco Thanksgiving night. He also said that LSU is viewed as a bette thin then USC so people will wait on LSU if it became open. I never heard Scott Woodward being used or having egg on his face. I feel good that Woodward can make the right hire.

Not that it won’t happen, but an agent telling a media host something doesn’t mean much.

I mean it’s pretty obvious that it’s going to take something fairly dramatic for O to keep his job at this point.

I think if Woody wasn’t already preparing for a fire then we’re in trouble.

I know for a fact coaches have contacted us.

We will lose another game this month most likely and I doubt we are sitting above 500 come November. Not sure if it does any good to recruiting to fire a coach too soon like USC but you better have your guy lined up for December with the new recruiting period rules. Those new rules kill a team that doesn’t have a head coach.

This doesn't make sense. USC doesn't want coaches leveraging other open jobs to increase the price tag for their open job. That would mean that they are in a hurry to fill it before other leverage-inducing jobs open.

Not going to say that, but nobody I think moves the needle yet.

Look at it this way. If LSU is still this bad next year, Woodward knows he could be fired.

Is it just me or does that not make any sense...

Why would USC wait for the LSU job to open and allow their candidates to use the leverage?

Isn't the whole point of firing a coach this early to avoid a bidding war?

Or are they seriously waiting for O to be available?

I suspect LSU's next football head coach has a better than 50% chance of being a minority hire.

Not all coaches that want the job are current head coaches…

But like I said, nobody that moves the needle that I know of.

I thought he was trying to say that the candidates will wait until the LSU comes open because it is a better job.

I have zero doubt that Woody has been planning to replace O since the first minute he got the job.

EVERYONE knows it will happen.

Just a matter of when. My guess, is the next embarrassing loss.

We know.

Can you just say if the names that have reached out to Woody have been mentioned as top candidates on this board?
