    How about West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez? True they didn't quite live up to expectations this year, but he has made them a pretty consistent winner. He was a great coordinator for tommy bowden at tulane and later at Clemson, Tommy is still looking for a repacement for him as he hasn't had a very strong year at Clemson since Rich took the West Virginia job.

    I would not be surprised if he were on Skip's list should we need to find a new coach.

    As much as the name Butch Davis is being bandied about, I'm surprised the name Terry Robiskie hasn't made anybody's list yet. He was LSU's first African-American player, and is currently the interim HC of the Browns. I think he would be an outstanding hire.

    Whoever shows interest in the job better be a hyper-competitive type who truly wants to coach against the best of the best.

    Who knows? Rich may be content with having one of the best programs in a very weak BCS conference.

    I think you're going to see some interesting names interested in the job. LSU won't want for quality coaching candidates, believe me.

    Terry Robiskie would be a great candidate.

    Not that it has anything to do with anything but wasn't Mike Williams there before Robiskie (first Af-Am player) ? :confused:

    How about Mike Price? I for one thought Bama overreacted to the whole thing.. and I'm sure, if nothing else, that the experience has been a learning one for the guy.

    No doubt that the guy can coach. Just not sure if being this close to the Quarter is a good thing for him.

    Rich Rodriguez and his wife are both from West Virginia. Don't know if they're really wanting to leave. But they both love Louisiana too, from what I hear.
