Logical conclusion but man did they pull the trigger fast. Guess they didnt want to take the chance of losing to WKU.
So where do we go from here? Kiffin is the best choice, but every game he wins at Ole Miss ups the asking price, and I don't think we'll spend what it would take. I like Sumrall, kind of, he's doing a fine job but is he ready for the SEC? Ditto for the guys at Ga Tech and SMU, who's names escape me but I've seen thrown about. Kelvin Sheppard? Lot to like, but no HC experience. Joe Brady - can't see him leaving the NFL.
Drinkwitz is another name being thrown about that I think would be a good choice, he's proving he can win in the SEC with fewer assets than the blue bloods. Many think he would also assure you keep Baker at DC, but man, he needs to hit the offseason clinics and learn how to defense a running QB!
Drink is just, well, weird. Kitten is just leveraging everyone for even more money than BK. Given the money crunch, it may be time to stop chasing whales and go with an up and comer that is young(er) and hungry. Pay em well but load with incentives and have a graduated declining buyout.
I don’t follow the coaching carousel, but I have an uneasy feeling the “dream” Coach is just not out there at this time. I like Kiffin, but don’t see him leaving Ole Miss. After that IDK.
I lived in Missouri for the last 15 years just recently moved back to Baton Rouge. I like what Drink has done at Mizzou I think he should stay in COMO. Success there is a lot different than success here.
I think the Auburn job opening up takes Sumrall out of the mix for us. Betting sites now seem to think Joe Brady is the favorite. Local talking heads still like Kiffin, but don't think he can be had. Next choice appears to be Sheppard.
Not really sure why people think Joe Brady wants anything to do with college let alone LSU. He basically stated as much and dont blame him. The stuff I see says hes on fast track to NFL HC gig. Whether thats 1yr or 5yrs prob doesnt matter to him.
