Word is some big boosters and Board of Supervisors members are pushing for Saban.
Word is Saban wants the LSU job again.
LSU of course will not publicly pursue Saban and risk looking foolish if he would turn them down.
Word is more BOS members and boosters want nothing to do with Nick Saban again.
Lombardi, the LSU System President, is the man who hired Steve Spurrier, Billy Donovan and Athletic Director Jeremy Foley at Florida.
Lombardi is a take-charge guy and will take the lead in this hire since Skip Bertman, the Athletic Director is a lame duck with his retirement next year.
Spurrier would have an inside track if interested since he's Lombardi's man.
Another name coming up with regularity is Jack Del Rio of the Jacksonville Jaguars. His wife is from Louisiana and his daughters attend LSU.
I would be happy with Tuberville ... the man may be arrogant and somewhat of a jerk but you'd love him if he was your coach. He can coach his rear end off.

I won't directly link the forum because strong language is used so be warned.
