Big job so will be no shortage of interest.

Mel Tucker’s name will come up. I suspect Stoops gets mentioned. Luke Fickell, Lane Kiffin, maybe Billy Napier. A ton of high level assistants. Good job with access to tons of talent, but high expectations and not a ton of patience. Last three head coaches have won national championships there.

I'm sure Luke Fickell's name will be brought up but let's just get it out of the way now that there is ZERO chance he leaves Cincinnati for Baton Rouge.

Other names that I've seen mentioned, other than Tucker:

Carolina OC and former LSU OC Joe Brady

Penn State HC James Franklin

Ole Miss HC Lane Kiffin 

Nevada HC Jay Norvell

Baylor HC Dave Aranda

Will no doubt be a lot of interest in this opening at the end of the year.

Baylor HC Dave Aranda

Outside of Tucker, this is a name I’m really focused on.

Random thoughts...

Unbelievable that they are moving on from Coach O, IMO.

The injuries on that team, especially on defense have been devastating. 

No coach will appreciate what it means to be a Ti-gah like Coach O.

Next Coach there will probably do great, which will make everyone think that this was a great decision. 

I think LSU's biggest issue was replacing the coordinators lost the past couple of years.

Good luck to Coach O and his $17,000,000 buyout. 

Saban isn't going to coach forever and when he retires LSU has as good a chance of taking over the SEC as anyone. So it does make sense to start getting things in place to be ready to pounce when the GOAT retires.

Why is there Zero chance?

Any chance that they go after Urban?

I mean what Urban was caught doing was just another Tuesday night at the Baton Rouge Chili's. They wouldn't give it a second thought down there. 😆

Because Amy Fickell isn't letting Luke move her and 6 kids to Baton Rouge.

Jimbo Fischer name has also been brought up as a leading candidate.

The guy who was just in an article this week about how his buyout is the largest in the country and its not even close?
