Definitely can get behind this. I say the chances of this happening is reasonably promising. He definitely can scrape through 9 wins season there and with his lake house in Michigan he can go there on a vacay whenever he chooses to. :thup:

Likewise Wolfcola. This quality of this class is just better than we signed during the Kelly era. Makes me think that having a proven quality coach and with LSU's fertile base can only get better. If we could have gotten a couple of more OL dudes would have been nasty really. Still :geauxtigers: :pimp:

Position where we need these big dudes and we miss out. Darn it! Are we targeting some other kid? BAMA always!!! :confused:

I beg to differ here OP. Why do you think Coach Kiffin would leave LSU to go become a head coach at a Program that is of similar stature as LSU? LSU has similar if not better resources and access to in-state recruits as Alabama’s. DeBoer knows that Penn State fired a coach that got them to Play offs not too long ago. Also the word on the street is Penn State is also struggling a wee bit financially.

Coach Kiffin, i am sure thought this through before accepting the LSU job. I truly believe he is here to stay and if he starts winning big he will be worshipped here and could be a Saban like figure albeit some goofy stuff he does via Twitter here and there which actually quite frankly is entertaining.

I think this common belief that DeBoer will go to Penn State if they came calling and then CLK taking up the BAMA job should be put to rest. Now i am not ruling this out as an impossible situation but rather see the probability of happening being very very low.

Honestly, Coach Baker is a hot name out there. I will be surprised if he came back as a DC for us next year. With CBK every school sees him as a "Washed Up" coach and might not make that "Splash Hire" outlook. I don't even think he has that stigma to coach at a very high level. He has his 54 million to go into sunset and enjoy his beach house in Michigan.

One thing he can consider is to join as an analyst in one of those FOX/ESPN/CBS etc.

CBK is basically done. Penn State could have been ideal but they don't seem to do us any favors looks like. :rolleyes:

Well they missed the boat and this makes sense and confirms that they are not looking at any coach that is in the playoffs. They might remove the interim tag and keep him for 2026 and consider that 2026 season a wash and could possibly look at someone good depending on the coaching landscape. They should have gone after Hartline. Oh Penn State.. You guys fired Franklin to do this at the end?

Are there reasons to believe that Penn State is looking at Diaz? Duke would a great fit for CBK and with ACC not all that great he would make it look like him being a solid hire.

Given Brohm & Key are sort of at their Alma mater I doubt they will leave. Penn State is really in a bad spot as far as getting someone good. Like you pointed out, going the interim route for now until someone one becomes available and considering 2026 season as a "Wash" would be the sane thing. These Penn State Admins really messed this up.

Penn State firing is amusing tbh. I think they didn’t realize that this many SEC schools will be looking for new coaches. With that BYU coach backing out they are really screwed. Hartline or bust it looks like at this point.
