One LSU assistant football coach won’t be texting anyone for a while. LSU disabled the text message feature on a football coach’s school-issued cell phone for six months as part of sanctions for an NCAA violation, according to documents obtained by The Advocate. The school did not provide the football coach’s name and won’t because of privacy laws. The sanctions stem from a recruiting violation that took place in the spring. The coach sent an impermissible text to a prospect – something the school reported to the NCAA on June 1.


Please don't be Coach O

Move to Recruiting Board if necessary

This is pointless. Whoever it is will just get another phone and text from it. "Oh no they disabled text I cant text anyone now". Whatever, he's probably sent 1,000 texts send then from another phone.

Coaches can’t send recruits text messages at any point in the recruiting process. The American Football Coaches Association has pushed to get that rule changed, and the NCAA indicated in January that the recruiting rules committee is considering the proposal.


I didn't know this.

ETA - and this is a real non issue/non story if they cant text recruits.

Oh no, no nudes to the wife till Xmas

Coach O was texting recruits on LSU's behalf before he even got the job.

My money is on O as well. Raymond and Wilson have to be in a groove and routine by now having been with the team for a while.

This is a non-issue. They can't text recruits anyway, so the texting part is pointless. Even if they could text them, just get another coach to send a text on their behalf. I don't really see the point of this

It's just a disable of text.. It doesn't say they are removing their issued phone.. Just disabling text..

Nothing indicates (whoever it is) can't call

Calling is better any ways.

Before O was hired I heard him on Culotta and the Prince in the morning talking about texting recruits. He is 100% that type of guy.

yeah, there are so many other ways to contact these kids. Like said coach really cares. Get on twitter, ps4, whatever new app is available and talk to them.

Coach O is on staff less than a year and we already have recruiting violations, who would have ever seen that coming...

LSU needs to grow a pair. When was the last time any school that consistently recruits in the top bunch of schools turned themselves in for such a thing?

This is the real issue. LSU compliance hates LSU. Guarantee they leaked it to the Advocate for yet another round of self promotion.
