The LSU offensive coordinator job has still not been filled with some of the possible candidates finding other jobs. However, the job search has been a little more exciting than some of the head coaching jobs available out there.

According to a report from The Advocate, LSU's focus for the vacancy is now centered around four candidates:Alabama offensive adviser Steve Sarkisian, Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin, former Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich, and current Pitt offensive coordinator Matt Canada.

Kiffin and Helfrich had been rumored for a while now, but Sarkisian is a new name. Kiffin is still the unquestioned No. 1 candidate, but it's sounding like Canada might be the second choice assuming Kiffin doesn't take the LSU job. Pitt was ranked No. 42 nationally in total offense, but scored 42.3 points a game this past season so that would be ideal to pair up with Ed Orgeron and Dave Aranda's soon-to-be dominating defense.
