Ed Orgeron Says They Are Still Working On Hiring Ryan Nielsen, “The Deal Is Not Done Yet”

Still working on it?

So that was a fricking lie

So it sounds like he isn’t interviewing him either of the Saints haven’t signed off and Ed keeps leaking info. By saying we need to be patient he was telling everyone his “guy” was still coaching in the nfl

Why can’t they just make it read: 1. Can’t take a job with any NFL team other than NO for the next 3 years. 2. Has the option of leaving LSU at any point during his time with the team to joint NO as Def Coordinator. I mean it seems like they don’t want to get John Brady’d again and they probably want him as DC if Allen takes a HC gig. Let him go out and get his feet wet and then bring him back if needed per contract. I’m sure he wants at NFL gig in the long run anyway.

Bring in the ginger to make us fierce again on defense!

How does breaking a contract in the NFL work? I mean, is LSU able to just pay the Saints a sum of money to break his contract with them? Surely they can't prevent Nielsen from trying to advance in his career. All contracts can be broken with some sort of penalty. If Nielsen is that worth it for us, let's pay the penalty for him and be done with it.

Is the athletic department trying to put in a CoachO clause into the deal the same way they tried to put a Les Miles clause into Chavez's deal back in the day?
