Wonder if they are going to let Scott Woodward hire the coach? ( Jimbo-Kelly. 130 mil in buyouts. )


Can't believe i'm defending woodward, but jimbo's original contract wasn't the issue. It was the stupid extension signed by bjork.

I'm hearing it will be Lions DC Kelvin Sheppard. A lawyer, the Cane's guy, and Walk on's guy are calling the shots on this hire.

That is my thoughts. Jimbo intentionally drove A&M into the ground to get fired, collect 70+ mil, take a couple of years off and boom....LSU gets a bargain.

They may get a good one but it's going to be hard to really get someone proven and worth a crap when they don't even have a prez. Unless that guy is only in it for the $$$$

Why is the Canes guy calling the shots? He is a grad of UGA. Although Canes is HQ in BR

He was born and raised in BR. First restaurant was on LSU campus. Co-Founder was an LSU grad. Pretty sure he's a big donor.

Plenty of people overlooking this. A top tier coach doesn't want that kind of uncertainty at the top because it means they may end up playing with one hand tied behind their back when it comes to NIL money, assistant salaries, and overall booster/AD support. No one wants to leave a good thing to take a job where the guy doing the hiring and making the promises is probably getting fired soon.

He almost made the playoff. And wasn't his fault we didn't. It wasn't stupid . Feel free to research how we got rid of Jimbo and how the contract was modified to allow that.

They would never hire him, but that guy is one hell of a football coach. He would do great there.

Urban Meyer is 61 and hasn't coached in 6 years. He last coached before Covid happened and NIL existed.

Entire landscape has changed since 2019. He's out of touch and I think he would fail.

Well, I got old enough to outlive Jimmy Johnson's name being thrown out there.

Now all I have to do is outlive that damned Cheez-Its ad.

Some Thoughts: on Why big Names will come to LSU

1. LSU is a 10 top job in the US.
2. They have donors basically signing up to commit to roughly $100M over time.
3. Louisiana has lots of D1 talent and especially on the Off. & Def. lines. - Key for SEC teams.
4. When winning, they have a crazy fan base.

5. Dating your sister isn't frowned upon.

The LSU job needs someone with swagger, head coaching experience, and a mild criminal record.

Kevin Sumlin is available.

Deion?

Dillingham and his wife both went to Chaparal HS in Scottsdale, then ASU and all of both families live here. Not saying he won't leave but the roots are deep. I think he might be a good coach someday but it's not today.

Key and Dillingham...I don't know about them staying. The LSU job is a big step up.

BUT, in this era of NIL, there is more to the calculous.

I dont see Key going anywhere. Yes the job pays a lot more and is a "step up". But, he was a 4 year starter at GT. He doesnt seem like the kind of guy that is going to leave just for a larger paycheck. Maybe I am wrong.
Key makes $4.5M this year. He'd make millions more at LSU. With that kind of money differential, it doesn't matter where you played football.


He has GT in the top 10 right now, and there is a whole lot to be said for familiarity, comfort and not having the pressure that he would get at swamp tigger.

Odds are he gets a raise this year anyway, and not everybody out there is doing nothing but chasing dollars.
LOL….coaching is a job. No one forgoes millions of dollars for "familiarity, comfort, and less job pressure". Get real.

There is no way this is sustainable for more than a handful of schools. So LSU is going to fork over $70m to end the Kelly era and then another $30m() to start the **** era? Oh and somehow convince whoever is signing the checks to open the checkbook for a huge team payroll?

I know there are very, very, rich morons who throw money at these things, but even they must have limits. Mustn't they?

LSU is a big name and a big job. To think otherwise is crazy.


The game has changed. It's about $$$$$ now.

Louisiana is one of the poorest states in the union. They are 8th percentile in median income. 8th!!!!!. They are 2nd percentile in poverty rate!! Poor!!!!!!

LA kids are not gonna commit out of loyalty to the state like they did before.
