Don't know why we need a TE coach. It's not like we use them. Hell they could just get coached with the OL, becaue that is all they are used for is blocking.


..with the pass catchers at TE here and coming in, we could easily let Henry add them to his duties.

don't think porter was ever really liked by other members of the staff


I'm sure the other offensive staff members probably got annoyed with him being so terrible in gameplan meetings that he was asked ot step out of the room. Hence the nickname "Coach Step".

Larry porter was a beast recruiter and when he left we hit the oh shite button until we got frank Wilson. You guys are morons, all of these bits of knowledge you idiots on tigersdroppings post are always wrong. Between speedy and Willis, tony brown being a lock, Sabans bad debt paid by Texas. Nobody besides Belowpar and Chicken on this site knows jack shite. Whatever these rumors are about Porter are I can bet the house they're not true because you idiots post them. You guys are always wrong, so stfu and trust the coaching staff.

If he was a top notch, well though of, DB coach, shouldn't he be somewhere other than USF?



there was some talk of him not fulfilling all his recruiting responsibilities at LSU, and there were issues with recruiting at South Carolina right around the time he left (offered a kid that the rest of the staff didn't want). just speculating, but he may not be the easiest guy to work with and/ or trust.

Solid rant, bro. You seem right at home. Why are you so angry though?

But he'd be replacing Ensminger, who is better at player evals and contributes to gameplans.


If he's been contributing to gameplans, welcome back mr. Porter.

word was our RBs hated him while he was here, if you remember how frustrated the fans were with our RB rotation back then, it's been said porter was the one rotating the guys. However, it's a moot point if Frank is still the RB coach.

But but but I thought miles is to blame for the running back rotation

The TE's split time with OL and WRs as it is now. TE coach is more of a title than actual job description.

Though I have been aware that the offense line seems to hàve underperformed the last few years ,I haven't said any thing on line because my high school experience doesn't compare with LSUs million dollar coaches,so I enjoy the games and wish we had less online coaches!

I figured it was something to this effect.

If it isn't Porter, then I go with the earlier thought that Juluke will be here.

Can I assume that J Juluke is not going to be on staff?
