    Leonard Fournette.

    It has been a minute since we've seen Leonard Fournette do his thing, so it could be easy to forget just how dynamic he was in his prime.

    This is the same running back who was taken fourth overall in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars before eventually making his way to Tampa Bay, where he was a big part of Tom Brady and the Buccaneers' Super Bowl run.

    Going even further back, Fournette was an absolute monster at LSU. Specifically, his 2015 season was epic. He rushed 300 times that season for 1,953 yards and 22 touchdowns for the Tigers. He also gave us moments like this with LSU:

    Those highlight-reel plays alone make Fournette's latest tweet somewhat interesting. He was apparently thinking about his future a bit since he hasn't seen the field in the NFL in some time.

    Could coaching be in his future? It sure sounds like he'd be interested if a gig at LSU ever opened up.

    The issue here for Fournette is that Wilson is a bit of a legend himself in Baton Rouge. He's known as a great running backs coach but also a tremendous recruiter. He also just recently got a contract extension through the 2026 season.

    LSU may not be looking for a new running backs coach anytime soon, but that doesn't mean Fournette wouldn't be one heck of a resource for the Tigers if he wants to get into coaching.

    There are also plenty of other college programs that would love to tap into his experience as well as the presence he would bring on the recruiting trail.

    Coach Fournette would be a powerhouse.
