    I think its going to be Napier. He turned down Auburn, so you know he had something in his hip pocket. The job just makes way to much sense for him and LSU.
    I heard on a national radio show that Napier isn't "splashy" enough for the AD.

      Texas is squarely in the mix for Arch. That game had zero impact on his decision. The good and bad news is recruits do not react like fans do on over wins and losses, especially a football family like the Mannings. Arch himself had rough game on Thursday and lost so him and Sark could bond over that.

            Napier or Aranda is my bet.

              Billy Napier +700

              Billy O'Brien +850

              Bob Stoops +900

              Joe Brady +1000
              Mel Tucker +1200
              Dave Aranda +1400
              Urban Meyer +1400
              Jon Gruden +10000

              At +750 you can make enough money to forget your avitar troubles.


              Aranda being such a long shot surprises me, he did a good job there and has done a good job with Baylor.


              I've thought about putting a few hundred on Jimbo to LSU to cushion the blow if it actually happens - but probably not.
              Put your $$$$ on Aranda.

                That would be a great value. Go get Aranda and hire Jeff Lebby away from Ole Miss as your OC and you are cooking with fish grease.

                  Makes too much sense.

                  He's a good coach, relationship is there, cultural fit for LSU, as long as he isn't in the same boat as O with the investigation stuff going on.

                  Plus Aranda needs to get out of what's left of the B12 before the realignment.

                    Woodward will play this close to the vest. Brian Kelly!
                    He makes big moves at HC hires, whether FB,BB or WBB.
                    Then Fickell to ND.

                      I'm hoping it's not Kiffin

                      I don't want to know what he'd be able to do with the athletes he could draw in at LSU. Dude is goofy as hell, but he can flat put together an offense.

                        Kiffin has NO shot at the job.

                          I think the hold up is the cultural fit, but he was there for what 4 years so he knows what he would be getting into. He is a quiet, high thinker from California, so not sure that is the cultural fit. Now if you want to go with the opposite of Coach O, he is your man.

                            Wouldn't surprise me if they approached Gundy. He likes to flirt with other teams an awful lot. The Kelly hire would be solid but don't see him leaving ND.

                              HAHA

                              O did a lot of thinking, but it was mainly about the next hot young mom

                              I figured Aranda as a 'cultural fit' in that he'd been there for a while, was accepted and left on his own, not fired. He's very much the exact opposite of O.

                                On to week 8.

                                Ags should roll SC this week. I was encouraged against Mizzou. Could have easily come out flat after the big win against Bama. Calzada continues to show improvement, but he also continues to make mistakes. He missed, at minimum, 3 easy dump off passes to our backs that would have had good gains. Have to clean that up, but I’m encouraged by the improvement.

                                Bama curb stomped the pirate which I expected after the loss.

                                Oklahoma kid looked good and I think the team will continue to get better around him. Rattler seems like a selfish cancer for a program. He had those tendencies when I watched the Netflix special QB1. Like Notre Dame, OU keeps trying to lose games, but they could rally around and go undefeated into the playoffs.

                                Texas has got to get their s—t together. They look so dominant and then can’t close it out. Maybe the bye week helps them. TU fans should be encouraged though. I think the program is headed in the right direction again.

                                Got to watch Baylor for the first time and that squad looks good. They won’t get to keep Aranda though. Their biggest issue will be stability at the head coach because their program is just a stepping stone. Kudos to them for two great back to back coaching hires.

                                Week 8 should be uneventful. Those in the top 20 should win handily this week, but nothing has been a guarantee this year.
