Do we know for sure that he 100% wanted the job? I know he was "considered", but do we know what that even means? Honest question. Maybe he and Les/Cam came to a conclusion that he didn't want to make that commitment. Who really knows?

Either way, the timing wasn't right this go-around. He wasn't the best candidate out there for us. Maybe it can be revisited down the line after he gets some coaching experience under his belt and if the opportunity is there.

That said, I don't think it'll be long before he is a part of our program in some kind of official manner, whether it be a coach or an administrative or advisory role for the team or the athletic department. He's too smart and has too much passion for LSU and the game of football to stay away.

based on his segment on the 104.5 morning show, he loves Grimes and what he's doing with the line...

exactly. This is my reasoning for the thread

true, I'm assuming he wanted it/didn't get it. Maybe it's vice versa. Maybe after 20+ years of the grind he wanted something chill. Good point
