Texas A&M just destroyed the LSU Tigers to such a demoralizing degree that they were forced to fire their head coach, Brian Kelly, despite a massive buyout.

The Tigers will join a crowded coaching carousel this offseason, but they are no doubt going to be one of the top programs that is searching for a head man. That in mind, there are certainly some coaches that Texas A&M fans— who have to see LSU every year under the new SEC scheduling rules— would hate to see get a shot in Baton Rouge. Here are three— and one that Aggie fans would love.

Three coaches Texas A&M fans would hate to see at LSU: Lane Kiffin

Kiffin has done a good job at Ole Miss with relatively limited resources in the pantheon of SEC schools. There's been a lot of smoke around him and the Florida job, but there's been just as many indications that, if the LSU job were to come open, he would jump at the chance.

While Kiffin is not exactly an elite recruiter, it's not hard to get those on your staff at LSU— as a matter of fact, they already have one of the best in the state of Louisiana as their current interim in Frank Wilson. That is normally not a huge concern at LSU given those factors.

The worry with Kiffin would be whether his offensive system will really get all that much better with LSU talent compared to Ole Miss talent. He's got his guys executing things at a pretty high level in Oxford, so it's hard to say that there's much of a ceiling beyond that.

The positive would be if he were able ot bring in a really high-level defensive coach and get that side of teh ball rolling. There are still questions there, though, about just how high of a ceiling a team that plays offense like Kiffin wants to can have on defense.
