Am I alone in hoping we go after phil bennett as dc over anyone else? The guy has done great as a coordinator pretty much everywhere he has been, and obviously has LSU ties. I just think he is the most qualified besides maybe tenuta and without the baggage.

would love to see it

meh....he was the DC at LSU when I was in school
it was widely known that he was the biggest a-hole on the staff, got along with nobody, and many of the players couldnt stand him as a person and didnt want to play for him - plus at that time, he was considered a liability in living rooms on recruiting trips.
That being said, after his wife passed, I understand that he's a different person now, but there's nothing on his resume to make me think he'd be any better than some of the other people listed
everyone needs to focus on Greg Robinson and pray we get him

Rocket mentioned Pete Jenkins may be interested.
Posted on 11/28/08 at 11:32 am to jlc05
interested in what? Pete Jenkins is 100 years old and hasn't been a coordinator in 20 years.

Well, he's 66 and that was what Rocket posted. DC position obviously.
Posted on 11/28/08 at 11:36 am to jlc05
Rocket's obsessed with sucking the dick of anything that ever came near Nick Saban. Why on earth would LSU want a guy from the stone age to be DC?
Posted on 11/28/08 at 11:51 am to Maximus
I don't think anything's there to be quite honest. i just hope we hire an aggressive DC that brings lots of energy to the defense.
Posted on 11/28/08 at 12:09 pm to jlc05
yeah i hear you. I'm sure Pete would still be great at DL coach but we can and should hire a DC here with really no question marks. This should disclude guys who've never been DC (Dunbar, Bebe), guys who are puppet DCs (Bumpas) and guys who haven't been a DC since Notre Dame was a national power.

He'll come with a price tag. Can we afford it?

Can we not afford it? TAF has A LOT of money invested in this program

Football is the golden goose. Open up the pocketbooks and the investment will be well worth it with the talent this team has. 
Posted on 11/28/08 at 1:30 pm to Uncle Stu
at this point I'll take an a-hole over an incompetent(s). Re Robinson -- Texas didn't seem too thrilled w/ him.

One of the points emphasized to Les within the last few wks I'm sure.

Phil Bennett is the white Terry Robiskie.
A journey-man coach with past LSU ties that Rantards will bring up whenever we have a coordinator slot open.

bringing back pete as dl coach would not be bad. but as a DC? where the frick is rocket getting that from?

He and Clark schemed that up at Saban's cafe over a bowl of Jimbo Gumbo while creating the double flex wishbone maryland I formation featuring big herm, trindon, russell shephard and blake dean.
