This may be a wee bit of overreaction
Is it too much to ask a grown arse man not to yank on the opponent’s jersey right in front of the officials or to not assault the opposing team’s fan because you’re butthurt?

Brazile has been given maximum patience and opportunities yet he continues to say “frick you” to his team and fans and continues to act like a punk. Kick him off the team.
11/06 Part 2: False alarm, it does not appear a new hire announcement is imminent.
RED ALERT: STAND BY FOR NEWS…
Rumblings from the depths of an insider discord indicate the news of a hire may be imminent. I’m thinking this must mean it’s Franklin or Gruden.

For my job it’s a god send. Where I used to spend an hour reading through a report and writing a summary of the most important points, I can knock that out in under 20 minutes now.
re: this board should be renamed the "LSU Coaching Changes" board

It’s would be easier to swallow if 90% of the new LSU threads weren’t some dipshit simply thinking their “take” was worth a new thread.
11/04 Update: Lashlee and Petrino are off the board, and we have to mention Gundy somewhere here as he is reportedly interested.
Possibly Realistically Possible Candidates:
1. Joey McGuire (Texas Tech HC)
2, Alex Golesh (USF HC)
3. Jon Sumrall (Tulane HC)
4. Ryan Silverfield (Memphis HC)
Wildcards:
1. James Franklin (fired from PSU)
2. PJ Fleck (Minn HC)
3. John Gruden
4. Matt Campbell (ISU)
5. Gus Malzahn (FSU OC)
Do What Now:
1. Mike Gundy (fired from OSU - reportedly interested)
Off The Board:
Rhett Lashlee (SMU HC - signed extension)
Bobby Petrino (too many losses as interim - officials have it out for him too)

They did him dirty bringing him that cake as if he were lying helpless in a nursing home. Tell the man to come to the table for godsakes.
I don’t buy that Selzer was part of a conspiracy. Her poll was just bad. In 2020 she was the outlier, and she was the most right (DM Register).

The idea that if you open your job early it will be beneficial to getting your new coach may be wrong. Seems like it sets up your top potential candidates to be bothered by the issue for half the season, spurring them to quash the idea. Much easier for a potential new hire to make a decision within a few days of the job coming open after the season before it becomes a distracting story.

Franklin is very much in play. $10M is the number. I don’t understand bc if his salary is offset, what’s the point in that number?
If challenged, a court would probably rule that Franklin had to make a good faith effort to negotiate the best salary he could and if there’s evidence he didn’t then he’s not entitled to recoup the difference from Penn State. Meaning he will probably need to make an average head coach salary for whatever conference he ends up in, which is trending toward $10M in the SEC.

Billy had the least amount of minutes in the backcourt but his presence was felt as much as anyone’s.

McGuire was born in Texarkana, Texas (just across the state line from Arkansas).
• His family held season tickets for the Razorbacks at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.
• He has publicly said that he grew up rooting for the Razorbacks, that “the first football I can remember is that Razorback,” and that he even owns one of the “hard plastic Hog hats.”
• His mother’s side of the family is from Arkansas, and his uncle competed in track for the Razorbacks’ program.

Should warrant multiple game suspension for the player, coach who signaled, and head coach.
Arkansas already has a Cignetti-like hire sitting in its lap

Over the last 20 years, Bobby Petrino’s offenses have consistently ranked among the most productive in college football, blending pro-style structure with creative passing concepts. At Louisville (2004–2006), his teams averaged over 40 points and 480 yards per game, finishing top 10 nationally in total offense each season and peaking at 2nd in scoring offense in 2006. When he moved to Arkansas (2008–2011), Petrino’s Razorbacks developed one of the SEC’s most dangerous passing attacks — Ryan Mallett threw for 3,869 yards and 32 TDs in 2010, helping Arkansas finish 3rd nationally in passing offense and 9th in total offense.
Petrino’s offenses were defined by vertical route trees, precise timing, and heavy use of play-action off power running looks. Across those Arkansas seasons, his teams averaged roughly 36 points and 450 yards per game, remarkable for an SEC program built around balanced play-calling. After returning to Louisville (2014–2018), he evolved with the times, incorporating spread and read-option elements to maximize Lamar Jackson’s dual-threat skills. In 2016, Jackson’s Heisman year, Louisville averaged 42.5 points and 532.7 yards per game, ranking 2nd nationally in total offense.
Even at Missouri State (2020–2022), Petrino revitalized a dormant FCS program, taking them to their first playoff berth in 30 years while averaging nearly 400 yards per game in 2021. His more recent stints, including coordinating at Texas A&M and returning to Arkansas in 2024, show him maintaining his core — complex passing schemes paired with adaptable tempo.
Despite controversy and frequent job changes, Petrino’s offenses have averaged around 34–38 points and 440+ yards per game across two decades. His hallmark remains quarterback efficiency, meticulous play design, and a relentless emphasis on exploiting defensive mismatches.

I’ve long said the Pick 6 is the most exciting play in football.
