Steele and Coach O are as good of hires possible for LSU at this point in time

Everyone knows Les only has a few years left.
The competiveness trend line for LSU is not heading upward.
LSU desperately needs a QB coach.
LSU desperately needs a clock management assistant.
Proven/up and coming D coordinators are not going to come to a place facing these issues.
That leaves the pool of candidates to those either losing their job this year, those with a laundry list of experience dating to the 80's which a couple down years at LSU won't hurt their resume, those out of football last year, or those with head coaching aspirations when Miles does get the boot/leave.
Please temper expectations, generally speaking defense has not been the problem.
We'll be lucky of Steele/O can put a comparable defense on the field to what Chavis did. Assuming they can, can Steele and Orgeron help with our real problems?

I understand your point, but prepare yourself for a lot of downvotes.

I'll say this, they went from about a 6 or 7 in recruiting with Chavis and Brick, to a 10 with Orgeron and Steele

Uncertainty about CLM's future is the only compelling argument you have (though that could go the other way for a competent and ambitious coordinator).
The rest is hogwash. Why wouldn't a good DC want to coach the talent we bring in here. Chavis has been able to field strong, nationally ranked units through some of the worst offensive production in FBS football.

OK, i'll buy that. but I also feel that we now have a chance at fielding a BETTER defense. let's face it, chavis' D got old and the opposing OC's knew how to defeat it, esp with their 2 minute offenses. notre dame had zero problem with a chavis defense; Kelly KNEW to start his running QB and, once again, chavis was ineffective in stopping it.

All I know Is that I was very sad last night, I am real happy now.
