Serious List of New Head Coach

Enough with the they would never come here so why bother. Make them say no. Offer big boy coaches like campbell and fickell big contracts and make them say no. Let coaches know the athletic department is serious about winning unlike the moral victory portion of the fan base.

I don't think looking for a proven p5 coach is necessary or realistic. There are way more examples of hiring lower level head coaches or coordinators. You just have to get lucky and pick the right one. That being said I would take Aranda and/or his OC.

Aranda is another guy who will be able to pick and choose where he wants to go. He's on LSU's short list. I think some people overrate Nebraska as a coaching destination. It doesn't carry the prominence it once did.

Well he's a Nebraska fan. Is it easier to beat the B1G West or SEC West?

No offense but people would think Kiffin is crazy if he leaves Ole Miss for Nebraska. 

Don't get me wrong: I'd love a coach like Kiffin, or Campbell, or Aranda, or Fickell, or Stoops. I just think the chances of that happening are extremely unlikely. Our best chances are with: A) a young up-and-comer like Chadwell who's looking to take a the next step; or B) a guy trying to rebound from a failed first attempt, like Tom Herman.

Why? He was born in Lincoln and would have a MUCH easier chance of winning the BIG West than the SEC West.

Premier coaches aren't looking for an easier way. They have bigger aspirations. He wants to be the king of the SEC, whether it be at Ole Miss, LSU, or Alabama (because he's currently on LSU's short list, not to mention he'll be on Bama's short list when Saban retires). He was born here but he really has no other connection.

Oh yeah I agree it would be a huge coup to be able to get him. I think realistically we go out and find a rising young coordinator or we get someone like Gus Malzahn to take us back to a solid contender then go get someone more risky next hire with a better base to build on.

He is never going to make it to a CFP at Ole Miss. Now I do think he could try for LSU but I am not sure if that is who LSU will want as their first option.  

As for premier coaches, I would think they would want to make it to the CFP every year and win a title every few years.  Being in the SEC West will continue to be a tougher route to achieve that goal.

I live in Baton Rouge, and I can tell you firsthand that he's currently on LSU's short list. As a poster pointed out, why would Kiffin go to NU when he turned down Fayetteville where he actually spent school time at?

Yeah -  Gus Malzahn, Hugh Freeze, Tom Herman... guys who are trying to bounce back.
