I would like to think that Kiffen would excel at LSU with the resources available here. Whether he would be seriously considered as a candidate is another story. He might be the type that's needed here.
Two issues I have with Kiffin. Sooner or later, there will be drama. And he has no history of sticking with a program. He could do a Joe Brady for us; one spectacular year, and then gone before all the confetti has hit the floor. Matt Moscona suggests (after Kiffin, his first choice) Bill O'Brien. Suspect he would be more stable, more of a long haul type of hire, but I don't know that he gets you to consistently elite.
Look at the stories about how Bill O’Brien ran Houston. Everyone was happy when he left. Good football mind, shitty guy (according to the media).
I’m telling ya boys I’m hearing the same ol ‘Dozens will line up wanting to coach at LSU ‘ in here . It ain’t true. It’s gonna be slim. Laneykins would walk here . Sometimes the fat girl fucks best cuz no pretty girls are taking your calls .
If Woodward does not get rid of O and show LSU actually finally has a damn good and quite professional AD you're asking to make us FSU or Miami or Texas. No. Anything that needs to be done tomorrow should be done today. He's already cancerous and you've seen the infection spread rapidly. He's diseased so much that his damn good recruiting can't even keep up with his infection. O must go in the most professional way possible to attract the best replacement.
