I think Mel Tucker might be good. But let’s face it, he’s proven so, so very little.

Yeah, you pay two buyouts, then a salary probably in the $7-8 million range, you better be right.

Also, what is the advantage of doing it now, but allowing him to coach, if what you want won't be available til after the season anyway?  Granted I don't know the splash hire out there not coaching right now.

I guess it at least stops the constant questions about job security for the coach.  If you know you're gonna fire him, do you have to give the fake vote of confidence?  

Also, on the other side, an interim coach is an awful thing.  If he strings together a few wins, then you'll be on the hook a lot of times to hire that guy.  And other than Dabo Swinney, that hire almost never works out.  USC almost had to hire Coach O a few years back when he was the interim guy there.  And didn't Clay Helton get the job there the same way a few years later?

I see Wash St just fired their coach for cause because he refused to get vaccinated.

Apparently the long time assistant GM of the Steelers, today on the radio said he thinks there will be a mutually agreed upon split between the Steelers and Mike Tomlin after the season, and that Tomlin will be a top candidate for either USC or LSU. I don't get why anyone would, by choice, go from the NFL back to college. He could have another NFL job next year if he wanted it

Especially LSU, where you can't even cash in on some Title-tail if you win one.

I'm not naive to believe that Jimbo Fisher wouldn't go to LSU, but I can't see them outbidding us for him unless we just refuse to raise the ante.  Supposedly he has a no buyout clause on his side, which means that he can leave at any time and won't owe us a dime.  I think Saban's contract is worded this way as well.  I heard LSU has money problems, but not sure how that looks on the athletic side vs the academic side.

I've noted that even lofty programs are 4-5 bad coaching hires away from mediocrity, or worse.  Some programs could be partially immune to that because of relative ease in recruiting.

Don't get LSU dumping Big Ed less than 2 yrs after winning a National Title,and he's a native son.It perfect raise material for a coach in Tucker's position

Mike says there are a lot of "issues" aside from the winning and losing extant, the losses just made it all worse.  The Big Donors wants him gone.
