Reading several post from the LSU fan site it seems Jimbo Fisher is a favorite pick but I am not sure why you would leave FSU for LSU. Herman is getting his name mentioned a lot on that site and Briles seem to get a few who said yes but most seem to want to stay away from him!
Briles will end up at LSU

I like Fred Akers and Les Miles did win a national title (although the only one to ever win one with 2 losses).
interview syrup-tissuesly recorded a couple weeks ago.
ab: yo, man, what's up?
mr x: come in, art. we need to talk.
ab: ugh. no good, huh?
mr x: art, i tried to tell you that lily white stuff wouldn't go over.
ab: i don't get it. that always works.
mr x: yes, that works in waco. you aren't in waco anymore.
ab: bullshit. that shouldn't make any difference.
mr x: well, it does, and you're not going to get your next second chance until you realize that.
ab: ok, ok. i don't like it, but i'll do anything to get back in the saddle.
mr x: now we're getting somewhere. art, you're going to have to show some contrition.
ab: oh, god, that?
mr x: yes, that. you're going to have to make people think you've realized you were wrong and that you're committed to doing better.
ab: hunh. i should be committed all right.
mr x: merrghhtdf.
ab: what was that?
mr x: i was clearing my throat.
ab: oh, ok. so, what do we do?
mr x: what you do is go before the people all weepy-face like swaggart.
ab: that didn't really work for him, did it?
mr x: football is a different game.
ab: oh, ok, well, yes. so what's next?
mr x: the bad news is you're going to have to convince people that you understand where you went wrong. the good news is people are incredibly gullible.
ab: the good news is there isn't any bad news, and the bad news is that's all the good news there is.
mr x: art, there is bad news. you did wrong and you have to appear to admit it. what you did was extremely bad for those girls.
ab: ahh, piss on the little bitches. they had it coming.
mr x: no, the guys had it coming, and be careful what you say here. this office is bugged.
ab: really? ok, well. then you misunderstood me. what i meant was i really care about the little angels. you just didn't get it.
mr x: now that's much better. with that approach i think we can begin to fix all the wrong you did.
ab: i didn't do wrong. you wouldn't believe the talent i was bringing in.
mr x: art, it's not just about talent when you're dealing with the public. generally speaking, i mean.
ab: hunh. general lee's been dead a long time, now.
mr x: whut?
ab: nothing. what do i do now?
mr x: muuch better. i'm glad we're on the same page on this. let me set up some interviews, and you go work on your somber face.
ab: somber?
mr x: swaggart.
ab: uh, ok. how's this?
mr x: there's a bathroom on the right.
ab: ahh, yeah, creedence. i miss them, too.
ab: yo, man, what's up?
mr x: come in, art. we need to talk.

Unfortunately that conversation happened and Mr. X is coaches super agent Jimmy Sexton. Yall might remember him his biggest client is Nick Saban
Good questions Embrey and one I have no clue as to the answer but I will honestly say that it is my opinion that Art Briles will be a head Coach again at some large college program. College football is a multi-billion dollar a year business and the pressure to have a winning program and be a part of those dollars is just to great. Hell, I got to thinking today even though LSU has a lot of rumblings from last weekend someone reminded me those across the Red River would have no issue pulling the trigger if the Stoop brothers steer that ship into an iceberg this season. I was not aware that Briles had changed Agents to Jimmy Sexton who is also Reps Nick Sabans and so many other SEC and other college coaches. He will get Art back to Coaching again trust me.

Briles may be an unscrupulous slime-ball, but he's a damn good CFB coach.
I'd rather see him at LSU than aggy or a Big12 UH

i don't think he's failing now, and i don't think he's going to. there's a decent chance agNm is stuck with sumlin and that they're going to love it, since it appears that he's finally free to coach without interference from the system chancellor. if ag could have fired him they would have last year. that attempt last year curiously gave sumlin the freedom he had been missing.
i still don't like the way he runs his program, but i think he may put a product on the field that pays for that frank n stein stadium they ended up with.

I disagree on Briles to LSU. He's radioactive for the next few years. At first he denied to knowing anything and that didn't work and now he's apologizing. Next Briles will discover religion and when he's hired again, he will be a new man.
prime, i should say i realized you weren't saying briles would actually be a new man, only that he would be saying he is a new man.
i was just having fun with that while still expressing my admiration for paul and joanne. very few make it big in hoooleywoo and remember who they are. paul and joanne were both big out there and were regular as soap for the most part. you gotta love and respect that.
i worked on projects a couple places in connecticutt several times and one day some of us got to talking about paul. the newmans lived down near greenwich. one of the guys said he and a couple others stopped to eat at a nice joint in greenwich and there, a couple tables over, sat the newmans. he said it was the hardest thing in the world to not look at them, but the guys did their damnedest to go on with their meal.
when the newmans finished up, paul walked over to the guys' table and said he and his wife realized they went out of their way to give them their privacy. wanted them to know it was appreciated.
wow. just wow. what i would have given to have that on my résumé. i couldn't have not stared.

IMHO...UH has raised its image too high to go back to Briles. They will be looking for a splash hire that is worthy of a P5 school which they aspire to be. I don't think they would want to deal with any of the distractions that would come along with rehiring Briles.
