re: BK, LSU should 100% consult Bartoo on next defensive staff

Either adapt and evolve or be left behind. You're absolutely wrong with this take. You absolutely need a search firm. Schools have BEEN utilizing firms for quite awhile now. However, Mr. Bartoo's firm actually has data on just about every FBS and FCS coach. There are a ton of metrics they input and keep a data base. I believe he stated it took over 60,000 hours to complete.

Not only do they look at performance numbers of the units you coach, they also input data based on recruiting. For instance, as stated, Jamar Cain is considered a extremely highly graded coach in his position AND elite in recruiting. He grades out in about the top 2% of his position.

LSU's defensive staff grades out as bottom 5% of all P5 school AND they're currently underperforming that metric. Conversely, the offensive staff grades out in the top 35% as a staff and they're currently over-performing that.

He provided the info and states LSU could very easily hire a much better staff for defense. You should at least follow the link and watch it, it's pretty neat. For anyone wondering, the defensive performance and rankings from this season won't be input until December 15th. Therefore, that bottom 5% ranking was BEFORE the horrendous season they're now having.
