With Les Miles apparently sauntering off into a bayou sunset it looks like LSU will join a pile of colleges looking for new football coaches. It's a pile that includes some of the most desired college coaching jobs in the nation.
Here are the top 13 vacancies before LSU may or may not join the list.
1. USC
2. Virginia Tech
3. South Carolina
4. Missouri
5. Miami (Fla)
6. Maryland
7. Illinois
8. UCF
9. Iowa State
10. Syracuse
11. Hawaii
12. North Texas
13. Louisiana-Monroe
LSU will join USC at the top if they really are looking for a new coach.
It drops more than a bit after Syracuse.
LSU soars to the top of the list if in fact Miles walks into that sunset, or is chased into it. He shouldn't be out of work for long if he chooses not to be. He'll be one of the top candidates for every job at the top of this list.
The strangest vacancy to see is the one at Virginia Tech. It feels like Frank Beamer's been coaching the Hokies since before electricity. Will Bud Foster finally get a shot at a the top job? Does he even want a head coaching job?
The larger number of sparking jobs available will be a great opportunity for the slew of excellent young coaches at mid-major schools. Temple's Matt Ruhle, Houston's Tom Herman, and Memphis' Justin Fuente, and Western Kentucky's Jeff Brohm.
