All summer long, a long list of posters were saying that Billy Gonzales was the "offensive coordinator in waiting".

I argued and said that BG has no OC expereince and that if the offense succeeded that GC wouldn't be fired, and if it didn't have success, then no one would want any hold over from the staff (except Frank Wilson for recruiting purposes). I'm starting to see a lot of posts asking what has Gonzo done and that can't catch the ball and other things like that, so with 8 games in the book, my question now is.

If Gary Crowton gets fired at the end of the season, who would want Billy Gonzales to take over as offensive coordinator?

Depends on who is available and willing to come.

Personally I would like to see LSU ditch the spread and go to a pro-style offensive system.

Not me. I want the OC from Boise State.

It would be a risk to higher someone unproven. Could be a boom or bust sort of thing. I wouldn't be happy or mad about it either way to be honest. I suppose indifferent is the best way to describe it.

Edit: Although I would prefer a pro style offense to the spread.

Anyone would be a step up IMO.

No. He isn't doing his job now. Why would I want to promote him?

GC will be the coordinator next year. That's why Miles sent him to recruit the JUCO qb. He's there to convince him that if he comes they will open up the offense.

Not without a whole lot of evidence that he could be more than just an OC version of that infamous "Malveto" hire.

how about this for an opinion?

I don't know - I'm worried that LSU's WRs haven't seemed to improve (in fact they have dropped a ton of balls this year) so I'm not sure I'd feel excited about promoting Gonzalez based on results

If LSU were to recruit from elsewhere one name I would put out there is David Yost from MU - they have had some pretty good offenses and benefited from good QB development under his coaching

After watching Missouri, David Yost would be a good choice.

It's not like anyone really has the drops besides TT who has had them his entire career.

I'd much rather go out and get the guy from Mizzou, Okie St, or anyone who has success with a pass first offense.
