Would love to see it. Especially with Juice not in the picture anymore.
Sounds like this Texas/Herman/LSU love triangle is about to get pretty zany.
ESPN reporting Texas AD leaning towards keeping Strong. That just seems unbelievable to me, but it's Texas.
Well, I guess LSU did it that way.
Texas Situation
Appeared to be eerily similar to LSU's situation last year after the press conference that the players showed up to in support of Strong...they then laid an egg and did not play inspired football today. Strong's comments after the game pretty much sum up the fact that he knows he is done.

I agree that's why I said idk what would happen considering his love for Illinois and the fact we are going hard at ESL area. Be tough to want him to leave but could work out if he did also. This would be tough choice.
And now Coach O is indeed your next LSU coach

If I were Orgeron, I would rent, not buy, a home in Baton Rouge. And that lease should be no more than 24 months tops.
They wiffed on Fisher, and sounds like they wiffed on Herman. They didn't want to keep swinging and missing, and went with the status quo. If history repeats itself, and it normally does, Orgeron wont last long.

We're gonna get a good test of the whole "No coach with ANY chance of a good job would EVER take over a DUMPSTER FIRE like Illinois" hobby horse with the Purdue opening.
If they get Miles or Fleck, it's time for that narrative to die.

I weirdly got some sources very close to Fleck and I'll just say this isn't true. Purdue wants their search to be done by Monday and he refuses to talk to them until after the MAC championship.
I could see Fleck being interested in Purdue but not with an immediate hire, I'm sure he thinks he can do better and wouldn't want to rush into it but still be intrigued by a Big Ten ticket.
Fleck would be crazy to take the Purdue job. He may stay at WMU another year.
I'm hoping Purdue gets Miles. That'll be a total disaster.
When should we start hearing about staff shakeups, on the bus to Champaign or shortly after arrival?
Marcus Freeman
Co-DC/LB Coach - Purdue, Marcus Freeman was targeted by Lovie last March, but was given a promotion to Co-DC at Purdue to stick around. He is probably out of a job after today...I would expect this move to be made sooner rather than later. Lovie appears to want to step up the recruiting in the state of Ohio, Freeman is from Huber Heights, OH near Dayton...an area that has been very good to the Illini in the past and is right up the road from Cincinnati which he has prioritized. Tim McGarigle is current LB coach who was a Cubit hire that was a holdover...he is probably on his way out.
Paul Williams and Bob Ligashesky are probably also on their way out. I fully expect the other assistants are retained unless they accept other positions. I have not been thrilled with Luke Butkus in either season that he has been the OL Coach. I believe he'll be given a second year, but it wouldn't surprise me (or upset me) if he is let go as well.

Reports that Oregon wants to make a change. PJ Fleck anyone?
