I’ve said all along it doesn’t matter if we’re happy/disappointed/mad/upset/excited the day of the hire. It does NOT matter how we feel the day of the hire. The only thing that matters is how it plays out on the field the next 1-5 years.

I agree with some stipulations. I think LSU should be smart in contract negotiations. Right now Drinkwitz is paid around the 10th highest salary in college football. It makes zero sense to me to pay Eli Drinkwitz like he is Ryan Day. LSU will likely have to pay him a top 3-5 coach salary with a huge buyout. He isn’t anywhere near that level of ability. We will likely have to fire him in 3 or 4 years just like Kelly. I don’t think LSU should give a top 5 contract to what is a top 25 coach at best. There needs to be common sense here.

Freeman converted to Catholicism for the ND job, he’s not leaving for LSU

Drink is just meh

I feel like he has to be doing something right x Missouri doesn’t jsut win on its own, but he also doesn’t seem to have the personality to get a team ready to go win a war.

He is like a Dan Mullin.

good coach idk if a championship is there.

Maybe i’m wrong maybe there are some awesome pregame speeches out there and he can relate to players.

I'm all in on Kiffin, but it just seems like Florida has him in the bag

You probably don't have to worry about this since his name is being floated out constantly within LSU's circle. That means LSU probably hasn't even contacted him or is seriously considering Kiffin. All 3 of these guys Shea mentioned LSU probably doesn't even seriously have on their radar.

In other words, it will be someone you don't expect. Don't be shocked if they look at the NFL ranks as well.

Drink would be a solid hire, but we should not overpay... his big game record sucks, but he has Mizzou getting close to Pinkels level. Could do much worse.

Can someone explain why the frick they want Freeman? He seems like a great man, but come on.

Kiffin or we melt

He says Kiffin appears to still be the top target but that they’re also looking at Marcus Freeman and Drink if Kiffin doesn’t work out. Drink is such a huge question mark but I think there’s a little potential with him. Obviously Freeman would be a massive hire but I don’t think he’ll come to LSU.

I still want Kiffin.


You guy still on the Kiffin train needs to stop. You guys will be lucky with Gus the janitor after your Governor shite the bed. Hope all is well in corndog land but well to bottom of the barrel like it should be. bye bye now retards.

All require buyouts

No can do

Besides, I don’t think any of them would be willing to leave their jobs for this one except maybe Drink.

Wow someone has a very high opinion of their school that has not been relevant since 2008! Bro stfu and realize LSU is a big brand and is the only brand in our state unlike yours with at least 3 others all of which have been more relevant than your school in the last 10-15 years. You are maybe the 3rd-4th best football program in Florida right now.

Oh please. Yeah, everyone thinks Kiffin’s #1 choice because of his looks? Lmfao. I thought I’ve heard everything until now. Kiffin is sought after based on his experience as an offensive guru, and the fact that he’s turned OM around consistently to be better than LSU. We need this hire.

meh.. he’s alright. The offense would improve. I wouldn’t call Kiffin a guru. His offense isn’t as good as dat Joe Brady offense. Dat’s a guru.

That’s called a lazy search! Kiffin has never been in a playoff game, Frean had a free run against bad teams and Drink isn’t ready for a BIG SEC brand!
Kiffin may not even leave Ole Ms and back to back ND coaches is sketchy!

I can’t believe people don’t want Lane. He’d win multiple championships here
