LSU's head coaching courtship is running hot and heavy for Jimbo Fisher and Tom Herman with no mention whatsoever of Ed Orgeron. Meanwhile, he busied himself blowing the doors off of A&M in College Station. During a tough short week after playing a hurricane delayed makeup game against Florida. What does that guy have to do to get an interview? Look at what happened to USC when they passed him up without giving him a serious look. That was the truest rendition of what HR people call "deciding to head in another direction".

Maybe the best thing a program could do would be to hire Ed as their D Line coach, then can the HC three games in and catch a ride on the Orgeron interim express.

Hello Oregon, you have little talent, Orgeron is a great recruiter, and Helfrich's buyout is only 3 million...

LSU contacted Larry Fedora? Huh. Maybe if Fedora gets poached by LSU, Carolina can pick up their discarded Les Miles.

The coaching carousel, as ever, looms as a potential distraction factor, with Houston and UNC losing to Memphis and NC State respectively.
