re: Ponamsky says no hire possibly until 1/23

When is everyone going to learn that these local media guys have no inside info?

They are media and by definition can't be trusted with inside info.

Let's assume for a sec Ponamsky is not totally full of BS and is not just making it up. Why the news it won't be until 1/23? Could mean...

1). Recruit theory: They have no clue. Still looking through a long list. Not worried because no visiting recruits until 1/23. Speculation of announcement on the day of the NC meant they had to pump the brakes.

2). NFL coach theory: they've locked in on a guy but he is in the playoffs still. Leaking early would sabotage the deal or be problematic for some reason.

3). Reset theory: someone they had locked onto just went another direction. There has been a lot of movement in the last 24 hours in the pro ranks. They now need to reset, start over and needed to kill speculation they would have an announcement tomorrow.

4). Lie theory: Ponamsky was fed a lie for some reason (possibly to head fake the media before announcing tomorrow)

#1 and #4 seem unlikely but possible. Optimist in me says it's #2. Theory #3 would be bad.

It's also true that the "lengthy list" will more than likely shrink substantially due to other teams, both Pro and College, being serious and going after their guys while LSU make an attempt to make a decision. Sorta like a youngster being turned loose in Toys R Us. Not to mention the fact that this rant will have total nuclear meltdown.

Hopefully the wait is almost over so by the time recruits do come in our new DC can find his office.

If that is truly the case you don't need to read between the lines to figure this out. Les has no clue where to go and who to hire or who will come and work with Les that is not a big gamble and could cost him his job.

People with sources can only release what they are allowed to release, otherwise those sources stop being sources. Insiders have to be team players, they really don't have a choice.

So basically nobody knows shite .

there is no reason the coach could not announce he was leaving after the season.

True.

It was announced that Pelini would be HC at Nebraska before we played Ohio State in the NC game. That is just one of many examples.

And if I remember correctly, Les waited until mid February to promote Malveto to DC.

I tend to agree. This has been a cluster%$#& on LSU's part since letting Chavis coach the last game. It just shows how little actual respect it can muster now. Miles might come out and surprise us all, but I believe it'll be typical WTF.
