Kirk Herbstreit gives his two favorites to replace Les Miles ·

With Les Miles out at LSU the conversation has already turned to who will replace. We're only four games into the season and the good coaches are still coaching their teams. The athletic department and the rest of the remaining coaching staff will have time to recoup any recruiting losses for the current No. 6 class in 2017.

Plenty of people have weighed in on who should coach the team next and ESPN''s Kirk Herbstreit is no exception. However, he did not think that it would be that quick:

Not surprised-I said on GameDay if they lost he'd be in trouble. Didn't think they'd pull the trigger THIS fast-but not shocked it happened. https://t.co/jUuhSoaRKc

Here's who he thinks the Tigers should be going after:

Just off the cuff? Think they'll go after Tom Herman. I would. https://t.co/0cCO6rCIew

Those will the 2 names you'll hear the most about. Interesting with Jimbo's success at FSU and his background in Baton Rouge. https://t.co/BWD7x8DiPd

Those are two of the most logical names with Tom Herman on the rise and his buyout being a relatively cheap $2.5 million from Houston. Fisher has a background in Baton Rouge having coached there from 2000 to 2006 as the quarterbacks coach and the offensive coordinator.
