The Rest of College Football

I still think Herman might end up in southern California-- either with USC or in the NFL with the Rams or the Chargers. LSU will certainly make inquiries, though, and that outcome wouldn't shock me, either.

A competent school would not have fired Miles w/o having a pretty good about the replacement.

I suspect LSU is operating on a wishlist.

Jimbo Fisher is another name LSU people are mentioning again... though I doubt it just based on fiances... and why would Jimbo leave?
Fisher is making $5.2 million per year at FSU. LSU would probably have to pay Fisher more to come to LSU. Jimbo also has a $5 million buyout clause before 12/31/16.
Les Miles' buyout is $12.9 million too.
As AlabamaFan said, perhaps the fiances are a little more tough. Miles salary was surprisingly to me only $4.3 million per year.

Just settle for Lane Kiffin.

No, but LSU would.

If you say so.

1. We'll see by the end of the year

2. This post would be more impressive if you said this prior to the game. But you didn't,. Wooof.

Sure, and I appreciate that you already think my post was impressive.

We can only go on what we've seen so far and so far, spartie hasn't beaten anyone good.

Michigan's still in a similar boat but it's looking like Colorado is a better W than ND and Michigan has won every game by 17 or more points. If Michigan beats Wisky this Saturday, then they've got a ton more credibility.

This is a pretty good list of the candidates for the LSU job:

I'd chip in 5 ducats for LSU to hire Lane Kiffin.

Some early lines for this week's big games:

Stanford (+3) at Washington. Opened at +1 and is now floating between 3 and 3' -- you'd have to eat juice one way or the other depending on which one you took.

Wisconsin (-10) at M. Opened at 11'. I think 11' is about right.

Louisville (+2) at Clemson. Opened at +3'.

Tennessee (-3') at Georgia. Opened at 4.

Oklahoma (-2) at TCU. Opened as a PK.

Jump all over that Tenn line. Georgia is ....not good.

LOL @ ``inside trout''.

[Mainevent]

Even with the rise of Clemson, FSU's still the big fish in that conference. He comes to LSU and he's not even the biggest fish in his own division. Both FSU and LSU have massive talent pools to draw from and national title aspiring fan bases. Unless there's some political/relationship issues behind the scenes, it just doesn't seem to make much sense for a move.

Surely they've got Herman in mind.

[AlabamAlum]

I think their list is Saban, Jimbo, and Herman. With Briles as a fall back.

Coach O is going to go 10-2, win the SEC west and throw the whole coach selection into a quandary.
