LSU’s search down to three candidates?
Former LSU beat writer with The Daily Advertiser in Lafayette is reporting the Tigers search is down to three candidates. Glenn Guilbeau, now with Outkick, has the administration narrowing the pool to:
- Matt Campbell, Iowa State
- Dave Aranda, Baylor
- Billy Napier, UL-Lafayette
Per Guilbeau, the search could come to a close by next week.
The LSU football coaching search is down to three candidates, and the next coach could be named by the end of this week or early next week, two sources with knowledge of the search said Monday morning.
The candidates are Baylor head coach Dave Aranda, Louisiana-Lafayette head coach Billy Napier and Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell.
If this is indeed the case, that would get the hire in place just in time to salvage some of the 2022 recruiting class. They might also have an opportunity to convince Eli Ricks to stick around Baton Rouge.
It remains to be seen which if any of the three are in the lead, which likely would indicate Woodward has moved on from any big fish.
