re: It's going to be Napier or Tucker

This is consistent with what I have heard as well, from the only reliable sources I have within the AD. I was told that Tucker is the frontrunner and will be hired unless he stumbles down the stretch. Believe me, this is not welcome news. I think Tucker is a fraud and a mediocrity based on his history. Napier and potentially Franklin are the fallback options. I don't know if my information is correct, of course, but the same individuals accurately forecast Orgeron's hiring, many recruiting results, many defections and internal scandals, many injuries, and Orgeron's resignation. I pray they are wrong. I will be very disappointed if it is Tucker.
Napier a fall back option to Tucker. Holy Moly.
I really hope Michigan beats the crap out of Mich St now. I would normally never root for such a thing.

Not saying I don’t believe you, but football searches are different….They intentionally put things out there that aren’t true. Lots of reasons. So sources are misled oftentimes in football searches.
Just because someone has a source doesn’t mean their source is getting accurate information.

You don’t have any knowledgeable ‘sources’ within the LSU AD. These talks are between the agents, Woodward and a handful of prominent boosters. The LSU AD is completely shut out of this process.
Um, Woodward is the AD. Hence those close to him (including major boosters) would be in the best position to have information. In any event, I am not going to engage in some nonsense semantic argument. These people accurately predicted the last coaching hire, Orgeron's resignation, and numerous program developments over the last decade. As an example, they knew of the whole Jimbo/Miles/FKing fiasco as it unfolded. Believe what you wish. It makes no difference to me. As I said, I unequivocally do not want Tucker, so I hope they are wrong. I would be overjoyed to admit my modest source was wrong as frick if it means we get a good coach.

Exactly.
It's one thing to be right about a coach's firing and other recruiting/player stuff. However, we have been warned by very respected posters to watch out for smoke and deflections, etc. That Woodward doesn't have leaks.
I just have a hard time believing they would leak this stuff if either were their top guys.
Also, I'd love to know all the people with "sources" how many of them were also buying the Bianco to LSU hype?

Stop. Just Stop. AD also stands for Athletic Department. These sources only exist in your head. The reason previous administrations failed at LSU was because too many people had inside knowledge; shite even rival schools had a beat on LSU.
When Woodward officially took over that all stopped. All you’re doing is calling out and claiming actions that have already taken place.

This bad for your health maybe you should give TigerDroppings a break for awhile. Seriously.
Sigh. Okay man. Whatever.

Napier has good experience at the group of five level but not at the power five level. Therefore, he is not qualified to be the head coach at an elite power-five college football program such as LSU.
Tucker is only in his third season of being a head coach at the power-five level and he hasn't proven anything yet. Hence Tucker is also totally unqualified to be the head coach at an elite power-five college football program such as LSU.
The coach who should become the next head football coach of LSU is a no brainer. It's Lane Kiffin.
In fact, if Woodward makes the idiotic mistake of letting Lane Kiffin remain at Ole Miss, it won't be long at all before Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss will not only be beating LSU on the recruiting trail, but also on the football field every year.
Hence, Woodward better steal Lane Kiffin away from Ole Miss to make him the new head football coach of LSU. If Woodward doesn't steal Lane Kiffin away from Ole Miss, then it means that Woodward is terribly incompetent.
Sure Lane Kiffin has some skeletons in his closet, but so does all the other candidates as well. Lane Kiffin's skeletons are just more publicized because they happened on a bigger stage.
Nonetheless, there isn't a better coach in America to coach up Garrett Nussmeier and Walker Howard. As Lane Kiffin either has the best offensive mind in college football or if not, he is at least in the top-three that's for sure.
I mean, if Lane Kiffin isn't hired, LSU fans 30 years from now will be looking back and saying, "you know, LSU had the perfect opportunity to hire Lane Kiffin, but made the stupid mistake of hiring someone else? I mean, how stupid could the administration at LSU have been back then?"
Not to mention that Lane Kiffin is on Ed Orgeron's level on the recruiting trail.

I’m not trying to come off as a dick, but I’m somewhat familiar with the measures Woodward took in order to stop all the LSU information leaks.
There’s literally only a few people with real inside knowledge and they’re not tipping there hand because that could result in negative outcomes (i.e. having to pay more to candidate because his named leaked and now he got an ext)

Anyone who claims inside information is a freaking liar.

And yes, I believe if Mel Tucker closes out the season with a record of 9-2 or better, based on his resume, strong coaching recommendations and his ability to recruit in the SEC he will probably be named the next LSU coach no later than Dec. 1.

If it was Napier, SW would have told him to stay off the radio.

If LSU ends up with one of those guys, then Woodward's "big dogs" all told him no.

Lane Kiffin has accomplished absolutely nothing!!. He rode Saban's success and recruiting to a natty. Saban plugged in another coordinator and kept going - had an even better offensive season then LSU 2019 after Kiffin left, Kiffin had nothing to do with Mac Jones' development as a championship level QB and best NFL rookie QB this year. He will be a liability on and off the field.

If I was forced to choose who I thought would end up with the job I'd say it's Tucker.
No sauces, not my choice, just a gut feeling.

Mel Tucker is a mediocre fraud and Woodward a credulous dupe if he hires him. And that sentiment doesn't come from any "source" but objective reason. Only LSU could contrive to give a premium head coaching job to a man who has had a losing record in two of three seasons as a head coach, and was driven from the NFL under a cloud of humiliation. I'll be rooting for UM, Penn State, and Ohio State to embarrass the Spartans and lay bare the deceit. No one should inherit the LSU program based on a lone outlier season, especially when more consistent candidates are available. Just my view.

It’s going to be Tucker. We’ve been through this. We all know how this ends.. with a mediocre coach and 5 years of the majority arguing with his supporters.
Tucker would be a major disappointment to its fans who deserve better. But we know how LSU does it. Prepare thy anus.
