LSU and Canada to part ways after bowl game
So who do you guys want them to bring in??
There are a lot of big names out there, but a lot with question marks or black marks on their record.
I'm gonna throw out some names, ya'll tell me who you like:
Art Briles or Kendal Briles
Rich Rod (probably a no since he got fired for things.....)
Kevin Sumlin
Doug Marrone
Jim Mcelwain
Tee Martin
Hugh Freeze
Any other names to throw out there?? Just throwing names out to see what sticks..:idunno:
Les Miles will get a job before Art Briles. He allowed some unpseakable things to occur under his watch at Baylor, then did nothing about it when he found out, then behaved as if he were innocent after being fired. He might not ever coach again.
Kendal Briles seems to be getting out from under the Baylor scandal pretty clean, so he might have a chance. However, you better vet the hell out of him to ensure something doesn't come to light after you hire him. LSU won't hesitate firing him if something comes to light and not only does that leave Orgeron without an OC, but less credibility as a HC, too.
Rich Rod is not an option until after his issues shake out. Then he's probably headed to TV before another HC job.
Sumlin isn't going to take an OC job. He'll be a HC soon, but for now he'll take his fully guaranteed contract and enjoy not working for Aggie. It would be a fantastic hire, though.
I don't have anything against Doug Nussmeier. He runs a pro-style offense and is good with QBs, but Orgeron seems to be a guy who hires people he's worked with and they have never worked together that I can find.
Jim McElwain can stay far, far away from LSU. He's toxic right now after the way his termination went down at UF. He might pop up at an AAC school somewhere in a year and work his way back up, but he's not a good fit for LSU right now.
Tee Martin would be a great hire. I would be very surprised to see him leave his OC post at USC though. He wants to be a HC and appears to be biding his time for the right job. He would be a tremendous hire though as an OC, as a QB coach and as a recruiter.
Hugh Freeze would be a fantastic hire, as long as Freeze and Orgeron get along. He's great with QBs, great play-caller, great recruiter. I'm not sure how much credibility he has with players, parents and recruits, though after being caught with prostitutes, lying to players about upcoming sanctions (intentional or not, he still told them untruths) and his whole Christian shtick.
Don’t be shocked if it’s emsminger
I would be ridiculously shocked if a guy who has said he doesn't want the job is named the OC. That being said, it's probably a good possibility because I don't think Orgeron has the authority to go out and buy another OC from someone after costing LSU $3 million to send Canada packing.
