The Lincoln Riley who lost to Baylor?

Yes. Coaches are going to lose games. But notice how the coach opposite from him that day is also a hot commodity this season? That’s what you want. Baylor would probably run circles around us this season.

Well, there’s definitely one school out there that isn’t sitting on their hands, wallowing in their current mediocrity.

Only one of those schools should really even matter to us, though it does not include miami yet, which would. It seems like Lsu has a very narrow approach to these searches and doesn't deviate much. So unless it's Aranda or Tucker that we're after, they shouldn't ultimately have much bearing either. Nor would subsequent openings at Baylor or MchSt.

The miami situation is the one to keep an eye on. There are similar grumblings there about commitment to football, and the recent move seems to suggest the fans and influential former players got their wish. So I don't think we see another Golden/Manny type hire. They will likely go big with either Cristobal and/or Kiffin. Either of those would be a disastrous scenario for us from a recruiting standpoint. If there's a silver lining though, it may be that between NorveLLLL starting to gain some traction and miami making big moves(not to mention Smart), it may incite some of the boosters to insist on making a move now and going big.

So I think it's less about the timing and more about what we actually do this time. Outside of Lsu, we're the best job open on the eastern part of the country. We just need to strike, and then close.
Some, maybe alot are going to disagree but I think we're a better job than LSU. I don't normally factor in location because most good coaches are coaching and doing what coaches do. But baton Rouge and Louisiana for that matter is a shcithole. We have just as much financial support atleast when things are going right and recruiting should be just as easy here with the right guy. I've even heard saban say Florida's the best job in the conference.
