re: Realistic targets for the LSU HC job

Fickell is heavily a Midwest guy. What works up there, where he has his recruiting ties, might not work down on the bayous. I think he's lurking for the Ohio State job... which he would probably be amazing at.

The one truism there is he is most definitely a midwest guy....... but the rest is hogwash... Anyone who can coach, and who also hires very competent assistants, will succeed anywhere he goes, especially after coaching a bunch of 3*'s who play at championship level. He was a really, really good recruiter at Ohio State and most of his many NFL payers were from out of state as OSU is a national brand. He probably won't go to his alma mater because if history is any indication OSU only hires a new coach every 15 years or so.... so, unless Day goes to the NFL (which I doubt), that's not happening.
