I don’t know off the top of my head. I can give you a list of coaches I’d take over Ed Orgeron but there is so much more to it. It’s also less than 24 hours since the the game so the wounds so fresh I’m not thinking straight. Anybody I list below will be torn apart: Power 5 HC’s Jimbo Kiffin Aranda Campbell Franklin Group of 5: Fickell Napier Freeze Coordinators: Bill O’Brien Brent Venables For the record, I’m not advocating for any one of these guys. And not saying any or all of them would be successful. Just tossing out some names.
At this point I’d take Chip Kelly over Ed Orgeron. I know Aranda hasn’t been successful at Baylor (shit talent) but that dude is sharp. If he has a successful season at Baylor, LSU fans will be clamoring for him to come back and be our HC. He just needs a great OC and some explosive offensive talent. 2 things he could easily find at LSU. After all, I truly believe he was the guy keeping (or at least trying as much as he could) Orgeron from doing stupid shit like this: https://m.magnoliastatelive.com/2017/10/15/10-dumbest-things-ed-orgeron-ole-miss-elsewhere/
Aranda is making 4 million. Less than half of what LSU is paying Ed Orgeron at 8.5 million (3rd highest paid coach) https://www.coacheshotseat.com/CFBCoachesSalaries.htm
