How do we feel about him?

I kind of like the guy, but not sure if the fit is right...

Think he has USC written all over him.

Not really a fan of it tbh but we could do much much worse I'd say. Definitely upgrade over O so there's upside at least. Like you I don't think he's a fit here. I wouldn't be upset by it but wouldn't be homerun either I guess. I'd probably be neutral on this.

He hasn't won anything. He will get the gratuitous minority interview, but he's not getting hired.

He wouldn’t be my first or second choice, but he’s a competent coach.

And less than competent coaches have won championships here.

He is at his dream job, not going anywhere.

He is, but has won nothing at PSU, which is an elite program.

Wouldn’t that make him a better fit?

This will be true regardless of who is hired.

Except a bunch of college football games in the best 2 conferences in the sport.

This is the biggest hire Woodward will ever make. He's not hiring James Franklin.

That's how I feel when I hear names like Mel Tucker and Billy Napier.

Oh I agree. I am not advocating for him at all.

I guess all I’m saying is that he’s be a meh hire but a definite improvement compared to O and O’s predecessor

He’s a legit young superstar in his profession. He would recruit lights out here and win a championship. I’d be very happy to have him.

Not an exciting hire. He will keep LSU a middle tier SEC team, no more.
