The master of the bag men cometh!

 

[ChasonBaller]

D Campbell come on down!

 

[collegeballfan]

He will be a head coach somewhere by 1/15/17.

Averaged 10.2 wins per season over a decade at LSU. 10.0 in the last five years. Not good enough for the fans.

I'm an LSU alum (multiple times). I hope the Tigers lose every game for the next few years.

I could've lived happily without that last paragraph

"...Ed Orgeron (who went 3-21 in the SEC as a head coach at Ole Miss) will take over as interim coach."

Are they expecting him to "make LSU Great Again"?

I probably could have lived happily with real degrees.

 

[gtpi]

guess who this is. heh. i went to school with him but i was a few years ahead of him.

Does ole Ed Orgeron hold the record for having the most "interim HC" jobs?

 

[lauraee]

If I was looking for a new head coach, I'd try to get clemsons defensive coordinator.

Miles will be hired by someone and he will bring Cameron with him as OC and will hire Van Gorder as DC.
High powered, high salaried, coaching staff.
As Stylee noted above... "Averaged 10.2 wins per season over a decade at LSU. 10.0 in the last five years."
And in the S Espn C.
Who is looking for a coach besides LSU?

I'm sure the Jimbo to Baton Rouge talk is flying on TigerDroppings.

Baylor, maybe Auburn

It wouldn't surprise me if the Mad Hatter(Les Miles) coached Kentucky in 2017 after they fire Mark Stoops for having another 4-5 win season.

 

[VolJacket]

Baylor, maybe Auburn

Kentucky will at the end of the season. The word is Mark Stoops is fired if Kentucky has a losing season.

Ignoring the personalities of those fired today, I kind of hate to see the college game going the way of pro sports - not letting a coach finish the season. Not talking about an art Briles situation.

I guess there is just too much money involved anymore for it to be avoided.

Art Briles will become head coach somewhere. He's too good of a head coach not to be hired by someone. I could see him being hired by Ole Miss when Hugh Freeze is fired after the NCAA lowers the boom.

Glad the dogs didn't get Miles last year. He would have dominated the SEC east.

There will be a bunch of openings this year, probably ND.

Van Gorder is a douche bag.

Bobby Petrino will get a strong consideration after his work at Louisville in my opinion.
