re: Is the problem coaches not coming to LSU?

I do not. It has been 2 weeks. Yes, ideally the staff would be named immediately. But, if you aren’t getting it done soon enough before ESD then there is no need to “panic buy” in the last days.

Sign your guys now and name your staff before the later signing day. Take the time to do it right and spend the time developing the plan for later signees and transfer portal.

The timing truly is no big deal. The right decision is much more important. In fact, the pool of available candidates likely widens AFTER ESD. I’d expect some people did not even want to get caught up in the negotiations until afterwards.
