People keep bringing up Saban or pulling coaches from their alma mater (Brent Key, Clark Lea, Jeff Brohm, etc.). Why don't WE create this? Why don't WE get a fiery alumni that loves LSU and is so passionate about bringing LSU back to glory like Kirby did for UGA?

In today's game, we need a young guy who can connect with today's players. Brings fire. We don't need the "homerun" hire (Saban). He didn't have as much success at Bama in the NIL era and doesn't want that anymore. Also, he's 74 Friday. You have him for maybe 2? 3 years?

If we miss out on Lanning or Lane (likely), let's not spend $15 mil a year. Instead lets go get someone who loves LSU or go get Sumrall or a young and up and coming guy that brings fire to the team. Sumrall beat the hell out of Northwestern because they wouldn't let them wear a certain jersey. That's someone I want.

If you got a Kelvin Sheppard he could bring the intensity and work with Blake Baker to get the defense right. Then you go get North Texas OC.

To sum it up, yes I'd love Lane or Lanning. However, Saban wouldn't be worth the $20+ million. That's a fairytale. Let's create a Kirby or a Clark Lea or Jeff Brohm. It's a different era.
