2021 Hiring Guidelines

Does LSU now have to hire non-white, young guys (or females)? What qualifies as young?

---

Give it a rest. Nobody has to hire anyone, but I think it is time for Coach O and LSU to have an applicant pool that includes "qualified Black coaches" for DC, etc.

If you interview Coach Freeman, or Mason, along with whoever else you interview (Nielsen from the Saints, Mushcamp, etc) and they win the Interview, then you hire them.

Not so hard. Just give coaches, qualified coaches the opportunity to make their case in the interview process.

Do you know if this was ever not the case?

Have you ever seen evidence there was? I do think O reached out to Curtis Johnson to replace Brady but he did not want to interview. Likes the NFL. But I think LSU could do more and do better. The key word for me here is "opportunity" not check box hiring.

Nothing wrong with contacting agents of coaches who are Minority candidates and giving them the opportunity to make their case. Now, just hiring someone to check a box is wrong and I think Black coaches don't want that either, that is you hire someone 100% do to ethnic background etc and then they don't work out, it hurts the legitimate minority coaches chances at getting Power 5 jobs as DC's, OC's and HC's, etc.

He just interviewed and heavily considered Kris Richard last year for DC.

Who cares what their race is, just hire the best person for the job

I support a move to younger guys if there’s promise there. I’d define younger as under 40 and older as over 50. The young guys are more relatable and that matters. Just seems like the players would rather connect with big brother than dad, especially if you’ve already got dad (Orgeron) as your HC. All the other demographics are silly...
