regardless the current narrative on Moffit, the man deserves our respect for his historical body of work. He wasn’t here 20 years for no reason. So downvotes be damned, let me be the first to say Thank you for your service, coach! You are a great Tiger.

Oh come on. It was quite obvious the game had passed by him. Look at what Alabama has been able to do between 2011 and 2021 and look at his. His proteges have done better than him. I still can't forget the 2011 21-0 beat down and how our players have struggled in the trenches for so long. Dude over stayed his welcome by a by about 10 years. It's not like he worked for free.

Our players seem to be injury prone at a high rate. Offensive line needs better strength & conditioning for sure. Moffitt is to be thanked for his devoted years, but loyalty to a job does not warrant a lifetime job.

Moffit has been great for the program but the teams over the last couple of years have shown an apparent deficit in strength and conditioning. Of course, as fans observing from the outside we don’t have a complete understanding of the full involvement of the S&C coaches in this trend. However, I am on board with giving the new coach a free hand in making adjustments as he deems necessary. Thanks to Coach Moffit and welcome to the new coach.

This is the best move for the program and makes me really buy into what BK is going to do. He’s completely changing LSU’s culture and he’s starting with refocusing discipline.

I worked for a large corporation 35 years. The new broom sweeps clean. Just the way it is.

Think this might be a hint about coaches from ND coming to LSU after the Playoffs are set. Someone in another thread point out that coaches might come after ND is out. I tend yo agree.

ND coaches are getting more money and like the new HC. Don't have to uproot families and realize what a different world Red Stick is from South Bend. Makes perfect sense.

Fairhope….have you heard of a fella named Scott Woodward? You think that man will let money make the difference in getting who Kelly wants? They ain’t staying because they would get more money dumb dumb…they would stay because that’s where they want to be.

Don't know if Moffett was completely to blame for the injury situation, the reported soft practices probably played a contributing factor as well, but a change was needed with a new regime.

He went to UGA as a special teams coach and took a medical leave of absence before the season started. Not sure if they ever disclosed the medical issue.

I know he was gone for "mental health issues and wellness" but he did return in October. Maybe coming back home would give him some stability. He likely won't assume the role of Special Teams coordinator after this year, so offering him a fresh start in familiar surroundings could help him and LSU both.

I'd really like to see Moffitt at Arkansas working with Pittman's OL recruits. Maybe Pittman adds him to work along side Jamil Walker who he brought in from Georgia and was an Asst S & C coach at Wisconsin.

Go get Scott Cochran formerly with Bama and Georgia if he wants to be a S+C coach again. Local boy may want to come home
