Coaching Hot Seat and Searches

BMFP to Auburn?

As OC.  He's not mentioned, but completely parsing based on this analysis.

Hearing that Sumrall is a top name for Auburn, Matt Barrie also gave his own thumbs-up on the potential pairing between the current Tulane coach and the Auburn Tigers: I agree. I think Sumrall is a home run at Auburn. He's from Alabama. He grew up in the state."

He's also well-versed in SEC culture and SEC football, having once played at Kentucky while previously serving as the Kentucky linebackers coach under Mark Stoops before he earned his first head coaching gig with Troy.

"He's going to have to bring an offense with him," Barrie added. "A defensive-minded head coach, a former linebacker at Kentucky. So that's just his side of the ball. So they're going to have to do something to keep the fans engaged in the offense."

The OC they have now is not at all a bad option. No one got to see what he could do until this past weekend, and look what happened.

In reading the mess about Brian Kelly, I noticed that none other than Julie Cromer is the deputy AD at LSU.

Yup.

Supposedly woodward offered Kelly $25m and no mitigation.
Woodward got offed amd Cramer offered $30m


Why the hell they think Kelly and his agent, Trace Armstrong, are going to settle for anything less than what is in the contract is crazy and foolish.

What a circus. Sounds like they don't have the money and Woodward went rouge and he had a $6m+ buyout.

just what you want in the middle of a coaching search.

Not exactly a mind-blowing take by me, but this is absolutely a terrible look for them in the middle of an active coaching search.

The optics of lowballing your former coach instead of paying him the contractually obligated amount (and then getting sued by him) couldn't be worse.

LSU is an attractive job and all, but it really feels like they're in for a redux of 2016 where they thought they were getting Tom Herman or Jimbo and had to settle for Orgeron.

Woodward's a tranny?

Somehow the media will still portray Ark as the clown show and LSU as pissing excellence

LSU is trying their best to get out of that buyout.

[vegashog]

it's getting comical at this point. this is how you take a top program into a coaching search and just fuck the whole thing up.

what's funny is corndog fans said when he got canned that a single booster (the raising canes guy) was paying the entire buyout and it was no big deal.

LSU is driving their car right over the cliff.  Arkansas' car is still sitting in the driveway with a flat tire.

I'm enjoying the dumpster fire of the LSU/Kelly battle.  So the LSU media mouthpieces down here are saying he wasn't officially fired, but that LSU had cause to fire him, and both sides agreed to negotiate a buyout because they all wanted to keep whatever "cause" they had from becoming public knowledge.  LSU offered 25 million, and then 30 million.  Kelly wanted 43 million, LSU says see you in court.  The   talking heads on the radio are saying they have him on a breach of a morality clause, and that they know what it is but won't spill the beans yet. 

[vegashog]

they can't retroactively claim a morality clause. i saw that part of the contract on the rant and it states the university would have to give prior written notice and a statement on the grounds of the firing within seven days.
