We'll never know, but I'm curious to see where Lindsey would have placed on this list without the health scare. Or more succinctly, how much better LSU's D-line play would have been with his consistent presence....

I think these are ostensibly different. Sloan has OC experience and has called plays. The Architect of the offense would also still be around to help....

I'm sure that we go and at least try to get someone out of the portal and/or get Reliford and McKinley ready to play. If none of those come to fruition, would we expect to see more of a 3-3-5 hybrid or a more exotic 3-4 over Baker's 4-2-5? LBs seem to be our strong point and we have a ton of safetie...

I mean, yeah. Of course. Jayden is better. The right guy won the Heisman. He ran for 1200 yards....

My wife graduated from UW and is going to grad school up here, so I watch a good bit of Penix. He is great. I think better than Nix. But, he blinked in Arizona and Jayden flew by him. Jayden just had the kind of year where no one could have a bad game....

You're not wrong. The dude was considered a top coordinator with NFL potential. There are plenty of reasons he could want to go. Just as there are many reasons to not want to go. He may be looking for anything to get away from Illinois. Who knows....

I would think that Jim Leonhard could get a much better job than that if he wanted. Especially considering that he was an analyst to get a hip fixed after not being retained....

I'd think that it obviously is centered around competency, as Rees was glowingly endorsed by Nick Saban. But, Sloan, like Rees, will have an intimate familiarity with the system as a coach and former player, respectively, in the system. I think that someone is going to have to blow him away or have ...

I think that our boys will at least be in a position to compete. I can't say how many times I watched the boys make a play (as well as not) when put in the proper position and then look completely lost on the next play. We don't need miracles, just a bit of competency from those who teach....

He seems to be big on letting guys have their day, though. Whether that be the Baker hire, the Underwood commitment, or separating the '24 signees from the transfer commits. He may just be letting things happen with a sequence in mind. Answer? Probably not, but it's plausible....
