How bad will LSU melt if the hire is underwhelming?

What if it’s a hire like Jon Sumrall or Doug Nussmeier?

I think it will be. Kiffin isn’t going to abandon OM during a playoff run

Sumrall is my #2, not underwhelmed by it at all. I've liked his work since Troy.

'"SEC is fricked" regardless of who they hire guys.

No coach in a playoff hunt is going to leave so they have to pray their targets lose a game or two

Man.

Do you know what fanbase you’re talking about?

We’re going to melt regardless.

Normally you would be right but after the epic fail of Kelly they will absolutely melt if it isn’t a big name,

You have to hire the best coach for your school. Not the hot name.

No true LSU fan will melt if it’s Kiffin or Lanning. I get your point though. Lol

Pretty rich coming from an Auburn fan. How’s that worked out for you guys? lol.

LSU is a top 10 job in the country. They absolutely have to have a big name

I dunno. We’re confident LR sabotaged our last game against Ok State. Had we won the game, we would’ve gone to the Big 12 Championship. LR needed to fly out to SoCal the next morning to get a head start on recruiting.

Why would Kiffin leave a place he can make a million dollars per win per year to go to a place where that same performance will get him burned at the stake?

I still think most would melt.

What if it’s Nuss? I feel like the melt would be warranted

The Rantards want an up and comer, generally.

I think more people would melt if LSU gives Kiffin a massive contract than a non big name hire.
