On the latest "College GameDay Podcast," Davis floated the idea of former Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher as a potential “sleeper” candidate for the position. Fisher, who was fired by the Aggies in 2023 with a $77 million buyout, has reportedly been eager to return to coaching.

Some day, maybe soon, college presidents and chancellors are going to realize athletic directors should have some accountability in their hirings and firings.

LSU fired coach Brian Kelly, athletic director Scott Woodward announced Sunday night, minutes after the players were informed of the decision during a team meeting. Talks regarding the terms of his departure are continuing, the school said in a statement.

Kiffin absolutely would mesh with Woodward's big-name affections. He'd fit LSU's needs, too. Unlike two of Woodward’s past football hires, Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M and Kelly at LSU, Kiffin’s career is trending up. His Rebels beat LSU twice in the past three seasons. He’s in his prime. His floor is lofty, his ceiling untapped.

LSU has fired football Coach Brian Kelly during the fourth season of a 10-year contract worth about $100 million, Athletic Director Scott Woodward announced on Sunday night.
