Assuming O is gone, and looks like he will be, who would be your top 5 candidates to replace him?

Urban Meyer
Lane Kiffin
Luke Fickell
Chip Kelly
Mark Stoops
Billy Napier

Underrated candidate honestly. People will shite on it just because he’s the coach at Kentucky when they fail to realize how much success he’s had at frickING KENTUCKY

1) fickell
2) aranda
3) Napier
4) stoops

All will need an extensive recruiting network surrounding them led by our current GM Austin Thomas

My Top5 wish list (realistic or not) is not set in stone yet, like everyone else still giving thought to all the potential coaches.

For now I’ll go with

1) James Franklin
2) Lincoln Riley
3) Lane Kiffin (with reservations)
4 ) Dave Aranda
5) Luke Fickell
-Napier nice consolation prize if you can’t get your top targets

Among guys we could probably actually get:

1. Luke Fickell
2. James Franklin
3. Chris Petersen
4. Mark Stoops
5. Billy Napier/Dave Aranda (anyone at the level is a roll of the dice)

I don't think Bob Stoops, Brian Kelly, Chip Kelly, Lincoln Riley are reasonable.

Not sure Woodward is going to hand the keys to a guy with 2 years HC experience. Woodward made a good hire in WBB and baseball, but his legacy will be determined by his next football hire. He must, absolutely must, get it right

Agreed!!! If he was to to coach LSU; might as well buy everyone popcorn because it won’t look good.

Franklin is not going to leave Penn State. It is his dream job.

This is just an outsiders opinion, but a great coach that nobody is mentioning. Tom Herman.

Maybe LSU would get lucky and get Riley to leave OU ahead of them joining the SEC.

I have wondered about this. If you are going to be in the SEC either way, why wouldn’t you want to coach at a school with such a great advantage in recruiting? Considering the last three coaches have won a National Championship at LSU that may be his best chance at winning one. I think he would finally get over the hump and win a NC if he made the move. If not, he will continue to lose big games every year.
