The LSU head coaching job has been open for less than a week but that has not stopped the oddsmakers at Bovada from declaring some early favorites for the hottest opening in college football.

According to Bovada, Houston coach Tom Herman is the favorite to land the job with 5/4 odds. Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher is next with 3/1 and UNC's Larry Fedora follows with 4/1 odds.
