Briles should jump at LSU job if the Tigers inquire. No reason he couldn't recruit for his offense. The Briles-Saban matchups every season could be classics. Saban hates those offenses.
Assuming Texas successfully lures Herman away from Houston. Otherwise Briles might get a call from the Longhorns.
I don't see any marquee programs hiring Briles as HC right away. He'll have to do penance as OC or at a smaller program.
Most likely scenario for a return to HC would be Houston not wanting to lose all its momentum if Herman leaves.
That would be an interesting scenario.
I assumed Houston would just promote Applewhite to keep the train on the tracks. But if Briles were interested, he'd probably be the best choice for them to stay "relevant".
But Houston is a big city, with some progressive values. Hiring Briles might be more negative press than positive.
