So, they want to keep O and have him hire an elite OC, right? Why are they so against hiring a HC who has already proven to be an elite OC?

I would rather have the OC, at least that way you only have the worry about losing the DC.

I hate that we (the vocal fans) keep saying, "who would O have to hire as OC to make you want to keep him?" We are at the point in LSU football history that we shouldn't be asking a question like that. We should be asking, who is the best most proven HC we can lure away NOW? It shouldn't matter if that HC isn't young enough to be here in 10 years. If we have to rely on making the absolute best DC and OC hires (with no room for error) to prop up the HC, we will have at least 2-3 new coaching staffs by that time anyway, probably including a new HC because that is a huge task to accomplish. I would akin going 6/6 with DC & OC in 10 years to having 3-4 undefeated seasons in the same time frame.
