How did Auburn's defense do this year ... that would be a good barometer of Rhoads' likely success as a DC at LSU.


now that i look it up Auburn was better than i thought they would be. number 15 overall, one spot behind Ole Miss and 4 behind Tenn. i guess i just see 8 years at Pitt as more of a detriment than an attribute. even being in the same room as Dave Wandstadt is embarrassing. for the record i still want Nix from Ole Miss. guys a home run.

Tubberville tried to hire Rhoads twice and succeeded on his second attempt. Say what you want about Tubs but he could flat out hire some strong DC; even if he couldn't keep them. Trying to hire Rhoads two separate times is a huge endorsement in my book; Rhoads would be a solid hire. There are a lot of good candidates out there and Miles will hire a good one.

But look at those teams records. Other teams would keep the ball away from them kill the clock and wouldn't have to score lots of points or get lots of yards, just beat them by a few scores.

Also, I'm not against hiring Rhoads, just don't know if I'd be that excited about him. He's a step up from what we have, but I think it is a safe play, not a home run imho.
