Coaching changes

We already know about USC. 

Now, the LSU job is open.

LSU insiders are already talking about Mel Tucker and Dave Aranda.

which job is better? 

USC *should* be, but LSU probably is.

Dave Aranda or Mel Tucker make a lot of sense for LSU. Surprisingly though, their fans on the internets don't seem too thrilled by either of them. Hey, it could be worse. You could hire Steve Sarkisian.

If Urban leaves the NFL, USC makes a whole lotta sense. But I don't think he's leaving the NFL. I hope he sticks with the NFL for at least 4-5 years because I think he'll win with Trevor Lawerence if he just sticks it out.

Don't think USC President Carol Folt will ever agree to hire Urban.

Posted this in the other thread, but to me it comes down to what Mel Tucker's ultimate goal is.  I suspect he wants to be an NFL head coach.  If that's true, I'm not sure how jumping to LSU makes sense.  I would think he sticks around MSU for another two years, and then goes to the NFL.

If he wants to be at the best possible college to try and win a national title at, then I could see him going to Baton Rouge, and wouldn't blame him.  For some reason I don't see him going to USC, just more of a gut feel than anything.

would be an easier road than the SEC

worked for Saban. He left MSU to LSU, then became an NFL head coach after he won a title at LSU.

Yes, but a couple things.

#1 Saban changed things at LSU.  The expectations at LSU when he went there were very different than now.

#2 I mean I think is goal is to be in the NFL sooner rather than later.  That's why I said I think he'll be at MSU for another couple years, then jump.  The bar for being a good coach at MSU is different than LSU.  If he can keep MSU up for the next couple years, he'll remain a hot name.  At LSU if he goes 8-4 the next couple of years, nobody is calling him from the NFL.

The natives are very restless in Louisiana (and Auburn). Two years removed from a national championship and out he goes.

Does LSU really have the money for Jimbo at $9 MM + per year?  Plus I could see A&M matching LSU dollar for Dollar + 15%.

They have the money to get him a raise from A&M. Man he and his agent are all kinds of slick.

I don't think the money's the deal.  If Jimbo were to leave A&M, it would be because he wanted to change either his personal or professional situation, for whatever reason.

But I'd be pretty surprised if that happened.
