Kiffen gets to break away from Saban and make more money, they have a rocky relationship. That's why he leaves Bama for LSU plus Hermans two coordinators are top of list for Houston job.
Applewhite hates LSU...always has since HS. He would have to eat a lot of shit from his buddies here if he ever coaches here. Applewhite following Herman could be an issue for Texas with the trouble he got in with Co-eds while under Mac Brown
http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa-17/2017-lsu-tigers-football-schedule.php We should start 5-0 easily, but then October & November are a bit brutal. Depends on how Tennessee and Ole Miss look next year. With Dobbs gone and Patterson breaking in at Ole Miss, I think it looks good for 10-2.
I'd say that's a pretty good 1st year. No question we are hanging our hopes on Coach O continuing to improve.
Definitely some uncertainty, but he's looked good so far. We can only predict based on what we have. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit it.
We're all in the same boat on this. It's just heavily rumored that O's going to go after Kiffin. It's the $$$ and any connection he might have with O that he doesn't have with Saban.
