Orgeron is out at LSU
- Thread starter WPB_lion
- Start date
Instead of getting through osu he has to get through bama. We aren’t that far off. It’s not like we’re indinia.
Let the bidding war begin for JF
LSU coaching candidates: James Franklin, Luke Fickell, Joe Brady among top names to replace Ed Orgeron
Will LSU's coaching search solely be focused on the top names in the business?

Texas is a good call for Meyer. He lays low and behaves himself, lets his blunder blow over (may be a challenge for him) and continues to lose at Jville but is given 2 years. Then after they can Sarkisian with two straight 8-4, 7-5 seasons there he is. Hello Austin 2023.
Wow. They had a pretty good win over Florida yesterday. How long until the Franklin to LSU articles start?

Maybe not as much success as Saban. But Louisiana is a recruiting hotbed. You get the right coach in there and it's a great job.
You guys better get use to this. Fisher, Cristobal, and Franklin were the 3 mentioned first on 247. His name will pop up whenever there's a big opening. That's why I'm amazed at some of the people (a few) that are constantly ridiculing him on this board. Other schools think highly of him and he is a solid coach
They're in the middle of their second Federal investigation by the FBI. Not exactly a situation I'd be running to.
Methinks that would put Franklin at a disadvantage. Don’t think he or PSU recruits that area very well. Little relationships with high schools there. They are better off getting a guy that knows the recruiting trails there.
Truthfully if I was LSU I would go after Mike Gundy. 15 winning seasons soon to be 16 in a row. 10-5 in bowl games. Not saying he would go but I believe the state of Louisiana has better talent and he wouldn’t have someone like Oklahoma to deal with in state.
I read a while back - can't remember the source - that LSU and OSU control their recruiting hot bed home states better than any other schools in the country. They don't get every kid out of their state that they offer, but 80 to 90 % of them
For whatever reason I have this nagging feeling that this is the year Franklin leaves. Hope I am wrong.
It won’t matter. The FBI isn’t going to kneecap the state university of Louisiana. There will be fallout in some administrative posts and with fines but it’s the SEC. The football team will move on as always.
If he leaves, it's for a better job.. LSU and USC aren't better jobs.. LMAO
Even if you win the conference (and the NC) you will be fired two years later for not doing it again.
LSU won 3 national titles in the last 20 years or so. Tremendous in state talent and the big name school in the state. SEC country and the state of Texas next door. You are absolutely delusional if you don’t think it’s a better job.

Once could strongly argue that USC is a better job. Better/more generous university administration, less competition to getting to the playoffs, better regional talent pool.
I'm going to ask this and duck. If "insert job here" isn't better than PSU, why is his name mentioned all of the time?
None of this matters. He is a family man first. He ain’t going no where until his kids are out of high school.
Perception of sports writers. And when has a coach of a top 10 type P5 program ever left to go to another P5 program….and Jimbo Fisher is different because FSU was on a downward trend and he got out before they fired him.
A lot of people think Dave Aranda. Current Baylor HC. Was the DC at LSU before that. Wisconsin DC before that.
Wasnt impressed with that hire at MSU. Apparently I was wrong.
I think it is you that keeps saying this. How do "you get out of" anything by having the Earth and moon thrown at you buy a way better school with way better resources and pay targeting you?
Yep, and I realize the Jags won today, but he just isn't an NFL coach. he should have talked to Saban before taking the Jags job
Personally, I think Franklin is holding out for iowa. corn athletic supporters aren’t happy with ferentz, so his seat is getting hot.
What the hell you doin? No on the internet ever admits to being wrong!😨😧
If I recall, University of Tennessee spoke with Gundy early on in their search and he was viewed as a little bit too colorful. I don’t know if there was serious interest on Gundy’s part. He would fit in well at LSU. His relationship with that big donor Pickens at OSU is also strained would be a good second tier candidate, after the top five names being tossed around..
