There was no head coach pressuring him to stay?

There was no agent using LSU to get a raise?

There was no head coaching vacancy calling his name?

He wasnt being offered more money for another DC position?

The NFL wasnt calling?

He had no family that didnt like the idea of moving to BR?


He fricking coached in the Super Bowl as a DC!!

the DL coach who is about to leave was just too important to let CP hire his own guy.

I heard someone on the radio say that Pendergast wasn't not a "culture fit" with Miles, and I tend to believe that angle.

Les apparently valued recruiting first and coaching ability a very distant 2nd

I heard that CP recently married to younger wealthy woman and some questioned his desire to put in the grind...coaching.

Seriously, why not hire the best defensive coordinator around, then hire Orgeron to handle his recruiting for him. It's not like Chavis did any recruiting.

But, but, there wasn't a spot for Coach O. Fire someone, hire Coach O.

He wasn't offered, and wasn't given a timetable on when an offer would be extended, so he retracted his interest in the job.

He was never offered the job- he was very interested and wanted to come with O as a pkg

CLM never offered and NEVER followed up on him

This is ALL On CLM- his decision

I think the budget for the position was low. Only explanation for this hire.
