My brother just sent me a text saying Fox Sports Radio affilliate in North Carolina is reporting that he has accepted LSU OC position. Anyone else heard this?

Duke has a football team??
Did we hire the OC from their basketball team or something?

From stickied thread
quote:
Roper has been a longtime cohort of David Cutcliffe, and that's a not a bad thing at all. He's worked under at least two very successful offensive coaches/minds in Cutcliffe and Rich Brooks. Was Arian Foster's RB coach at Tennessee and Eli Manning's QB coach at Ole Miss. Has SEC experience, but may be some question marks about whether it's he or Cutcliffe that really power the offense.
Positives
-SEC experience
-Worked with coaches and coached up talented players
-Good QB track record
Negatives
-Would he leave Cutcliffe?
-Is he simply a benefactor of working with Cutcliffe?

I was obviously kidding with the basketball reference...
And if that's the hire he makes I think Miles will have total control off the offense (see my thread on page 1)

is this serious? That came out of left field. That was really really fast hire. But like Belowpar said, he has been interviewing for some time.

We will be able to shoot the 3 at least

yeah really, this seems out of nowhere. Not even any smoke coming from over there...

My guess would be no...Nothing to confirm it.

I hope this isn't true.

I'm just curious to the reasoning

Why not, Roper may be a hell of a football coach. Miles is the one conducting the interviews. He will do what he feels is best for the program.

I don't think it'd be a bad hire.. just seems suspect, because the Duke front was so quiet. Not even a peep from that direction.
Posted on 1/13/11 at 6:50 pm to deuce985
And I just want to be clear, I posted it so anyone could confirm it or disconfirm it. That's why I didn't put "Roper to LSU" or some crap like that in the thread title.

fwiw you did fine when you made the thread, IMO. I hope it doesn't get whacked, I'd like to see it play out.

What school did Alleva come from, he is a Blue Devil if my memory serves me.

while true, I doubt it'd have much influence on this decision.
