LSU’s search for a defensive coordinator may last several more days, possibly through the weekend, and the position continues to receive interest from top-flight college coordinators and some NFL coordinators.


quote:

LSU has been “flooded” with interest in the position from a host of coaches, including NFL assistants, one source close to the staff told The Advocate. Former and current NFL coordinators have applied, the source said.

It’s not a stretch to think LSU could pull an NFL assistant coach or coordinator. Georgia, for instance, recently hired St. Louis Rams offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer for the same position.


quote:

Miles, assistant director of football operations Dean Dingman and Miles’ agent, George Bass, are leading the search, multiple sources said. Miles, an offensive-minded coach who rarely dabbles in the defense, is “taking time” with the search and knows “the importance” of the hire, sources said.

Exactly why I posted this. People keep freaking out and acting like we can't find anyone who will take the job. Couldn't be farther from the truth.

Negatigers WANT a dumpster-fire hire, just like they want losses.

Of course we will find someone. But this doesn't tell us anything at all. Just more of the same. Cryptic information. Nothing new at all

Not really.

Coaches tell agents they're interested in said job. Agent contact the appropriate agent of the decision maker to inform them of the interest. And thats typically how a deal gets done.

My uncle was driving from Niceville to Destin and ran into Woody Widenhofer, who was working the tollbooth. He said Les comes through quite frequently and the last time he offered him the DC position. Take it FWIW.

That's just a positiger writing crap to make the few interested parties fell they need to jump on their decision, before someone else does. The other good candidates have all moved on with their lives.

These "insiders" are being fed the same shite. This article is the exact thing posted on a $$$ site today.

I don't believe that LSU is going to have to settle for a high school coach but I also don't believe NFL coordinators are beating down the door.

It is my opinion that they probably struck out on option 1 and are having to go back to the drawing board.
