Not the best path. It's a title only position as Tampas head coach will still call plays

Whose the Okie St OC?

That's who they need to go after. Just keep the trend going.

They are going to hire from within. This close to NSD, they can't branch out or they risk they entire recruiting class falling apart

Maybe we get John Simon, USM's running back coach at LSU

Apparently Monken tried to get raises for his staff. He got the job offer from the Bucs and pulled the "give them raises or I leave" card. Southern Miss said nope and he left.

Second hand info but seems plausible. This is good news for La Tech, I think he recently flipped a couple of their kids.

Good for Monken. USM is incredibly shitty towards their successful football coaches. They don't deserve to be worth a damn if this is true.

When has he been quoted on that?

I’m happy here. Actually, me and my family talked. It would have to be an outstanding head job at a Top Five school. I don’t think that’s going to happen right now. I think I need to earn my stripes here at LSU and see what happens down the road. I’m not looking to leave to be an assistant anywhere else. I’m happy to be at LSU. I think it’s one of the best jobs in the country.

"Top Five" meaning the conferences.

I think Monken was only pulling in $300k there. $1-1.3 would be a stretch. They got some big finance troubles over there

300k? Not quite.. He was making 800k and was getting a raise to around a 1m.. Which still isn't a ton for head coach but significantly better than 300k

What about Chip Lindsey? Any shot they try to take him back from ASU?
