Herb Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I can't help but think what would have been if Aranda instead of Orgeron was named interim HC when Les Miles was fired. Aranda is an organized cerebral type of coach, Orgeron not so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might remember the Hawks Nest Restaurant in BTR, the owner, Ray “Big Head” Smith, passed away years ago, his brother Wally was in there eating also. Wally and I got to talk about years ago with his brother. If you are ever in BTR on a Friday, Pocorellos is a great stop. Muffulettas, Pasta Dishes, Stuffed Artichokes, too much good stuff. If anyone wants to do lunch at Pokies on a Friday, let me know. Never know who will show up. My friend sent me this note today. “We had a special guest at lunch today, Coach Kim Mulkey. She came to our table & shot the breeze with Mr. Sam, Doc, Don, Judge, Knucklehead & me. She's a pretty cool lady & we welcomed her back home, she said she's glad to be back.” Edited November 13, 2021 by LSUDad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 When we didn’t have a baseball coach, Jay was announced. When Vargas took another job, Kim was introduced. When you don’t have a coach, the new coach will be introduced. Woody’s done this before. The odds the new coach wins a NC? I’ll take those odds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 1. Napier The guy is 37-12 all in the Sunbelt, but is somehow NOT considered Justin Fuente light. I'll acknowledge I don't know his entire history, just looking at his HC experience. But I don't get the infatuation with him given this HC resume. The damn Sunbelt? It's almost like a "one of us" scenario, but he's from Tennessee. 2. Jimbo Seemingly hated here for whatever reason. Has an excellent overall coaching record (as a HC at only Power 5 schools, including SEC). I don't like his offense at the moment, so he's not my fave, but to act like he's not better than Napier is laughable. There's literally NO basis in fact or evidence of this. In fact, there's factual evidence Jimbo has a FAR better resume than Napier. People talk about Napier as an ace recruiter. Anyone seen TAMU's class? 3. Riley Probably the top choice IMO. Completely calls his side of the ball and is an excellent QB coach. If LSU could pull him away from OU, he'd kill it recruiting Louisiana. I THINK the hurdles he's had are related to superior talent in the SEC every time he's faced a great SEC team in the playoffs. If he's at LSU, once he got the roster built back he'd be the guy with the superior talent. The fact he hasn't issued a stern denial of interest doesn't necessarily mean he's actually interested. Jimbo had no leverage to gain. He just signed his extension a couple months ago. Riley could be using LSU as leverage to get something he wants from OU. I just don't know what it'd be. His assistants are paid well, they have nice facilities, and he's paid well. We'll see. 4. Aranda Smartest guy in the room, IMO of the guys mentioned in this search, he's #2 behind Riley. While O was depending on Lane Kiffen to tell him what defense we're running, Aranda was in the spur of the moment realizing a "meaningless" field goal against OU would be important down the line determining the 3rd place Big 12 tiebreaker. Dude is a savant. 5. Bill O'Brien I guess people pay more attention to the Texans than what he did at PSU. He deserves a LOT of credit for that crap he inherited at PSU and what he did with it. Not my top choice for sure, just not sure why he's so scoffed at and seemingly hated. 6. Mel Tucker Has he signed that extension yet? I DO think he was a serious candidate for LSU, just not sure Woody ever wanted him. And I think he's been a smoke screen all along. Woody basically is setting the market, and MSU took the bait. 7. Some other coach Definitely in Woody's DNA to put out all these smoke screens and then announce a shocker, perhaps a Matt Rhule (absolutely my #1 just no clue it's even an option) For the Napier fanatics, let the downvotes rain since I didn't tout the magnificence of a Sunbelt coach with a pretty good record. Just wondering why so many are pushing him so hard they're freaking out UF might "steal him" from us. I think he's a good fall back option if a few others tell us no. But he's not a home run hire at the moment, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Six years ago, these coaches were coaching teams that wound up in the top ten at the end of the season. I left Saban (Alabama), Swinney (Clemson), David Shaw (Stanford), and Gary Patterson (just fired from TCU) off of the list. Urban Meyer (4th) Lincoln Riley (5th) Mike D'Antonio (6th) Tom Herman (8th) Kirk Ferentz (9th) Hugh Freeze (10th) Interesting that none of these guys - all coaches of top 10 teams as recently as 2015 - appear on any "LSU Coaching Candidates" lists except for Lincoln Riley and ever so rarely, Hugh Freeze. I've seen Hugh Freeze mentioned on some other sites but really only in passing. It would astound me if Woodward hasn't done due diligence on all of these and at least talked to their agents. Everyone is fixated on Fisher, Napier, Riley, Aranda, Kiffen, and occasionally Cristobal as being the only options LSU is looking at to fill our not-soon-enough-to-be-vacated Head Football Coach position. Looking at that list, I think every single one is a viable option (with the possible exception of Kirk Ferentz who Might be "too entrenched" at Iowa but he ain't from there and he might think LSU would be a way better opportunity than the Iowa corn fields). I'd also add (and have before) Brian Kelly at ND as a possibility (whose team finished 11th in 2015, btw). 2015 was not that long ago. It was the year we hired Orgeron (but before we LOST to Troy). So... Urban Meyer - struggling in the NFL at Jacksonville. Would be a solid hire for LSU. Lincoln Riley - may or may not have been offered the job. I 100% agree with Nootch's comments about his defense. Mike D'Antonio - one could strongly argue that Mel Tucker is winning with D'Antonio's players. D'Antonio had some very solid defenses at Michigan State, that Tucker has not been able to replicate. Tom Herman - gets no love from LSU because he looked at the prospect of working for Joe Alleva and decided to go to Texas instead. Absolutely solid coach who - like others before and after him - can thank Texas for their lack of success there. Kirk Ferentz - great coach of a team that is usually somewhere in the top 15 but will never get to smell the playoffs at Iowa. Hugh Freeze - widely considered a guy that can develop talent but apparently let the little head do too much thinking. Brian Kelly - for the people fixated on Woodward being a 'big game hunter', Kelly would fit that mold to a "t". Why is Riley the only one out of all of these guys who is on just about every list out there and the rest of these ignored? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUDad Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Coaching search, bad side. Mac fired after 18 seasons. Bo Rein, never coached a game. Stovall fired after 4 seasons. Arnsparger left to be the AD at Fla. Archer fired after 4 seasons. Hallman fired after 4 seasons. Dinardo fired after 5 seasons. Hal Hunter, interim for 1 game. Saban, left for Dolphins. Miles fired in 12th season. Ed O fired in 6th season. The Good. Last three guys won a NC, last two would have never won it anywhere else. I believe if Arnsparger would have stayed, he would have had a chance at a NC. Bo Rein was that up and coming coach. Stovall took over the program, kept most of Bo’s staff. Woody likes to shoot high, locates his choice, goes and gets them. As for now, Jimmy Sexton represents way too many coaches, he’s kind of locked in. Like 11 of 14 SEC coaches this season. Ed O has My 3 Tiger Boyz, LLC. representing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for someone, anyone, to tie Kiffin to any sort of behavior that would lead to Title IX issues. I don't get it. Dude plays on twitter too much, but there has been NO evidence of what you're suggesting, at least not that anyone has shown me. What am I missing? Not an endorsement of Kiffin, to be clear. Just seeking the knowledge some of y'all seem to have that I'm missing regarding his sexual misconduct and harassment issues. With regards to Kelly, I tend to agree with you. He's handcuffed by academic requirements at ND, yet consistently finds himself in playoff contention or, ya know, playoffs. Yeah, he gets crushed there, but so does Riley. With regards to Meyer, see your reasoning for discounting Kiffin. Good grief, it's even fresh and recent. Plus Nootch's reasons. Frerentz, Nootch's reason is spot on factual and accurate. They have been, in fact, unranked twice as many times as ranked under him. It is what it is. Also I don't think he's a Woodward type. I don't know nor care where he's from, but fact is he's been in Iowa for a LONG time. You and I have talked externally about this, but I don't want a midwest guy here for recruiting reasons.

The things that worry me about him are: He is probably just as much of a quick fix as Meyer. He seems like a climber whose only allegiance is to the 'next bigger, better deal". I am very uncomfortable with his past, close association with Orgeron, who was joined at the hip with Kiffin through Tennessee and USC. Something really bothers me about that knowing what we now know about O. Could just be guilt by association but it disturbs me to my core. I need to get over my perceived 'immaturity' thing I affix to him as we're in an era where coaches troll each other at press conferences, etc., but your "too much time on twitter' comment speaks to this. If Woodward hired him, I'd support him fully until he gave me a reason not to. The semi-amusing 'Joey Freshwater' story might hint at Orgeron/Freeze/Meyer type behavior. I think Brian Kelly or Tom Herman would be very good hires. I am also not convinced that this search is limited current and former head coaches and would not be surprised to see a Marcus Freeman type hire - even though it may disappoint some because it would not live up to the "game hunter" mythology.

Undeniable closing evidence, but I think if Woodward thought the best choice for LSU would be to hire an assistant, he'd pull that trigger. At least I think so (but I don't know jack). I don't think Woodward would hire who he thought the 2nd best guy was simply because the best guy (in his estimation) had no HC experience.
