Your opinion on the matter carries no more weight than the OP's.

on this board it absolutely does not. You are correct there.

I don't know a single LSU "booster". I don't know anyone in the LSU administration. I have no LSU "sources".

I do know Jimbo, his ex-wife, Craig, and several other coaches through a mutual business connection/friend. As I said, Jimbo and Craig are probably fine. I know Jimbo loves the guy, but he was - despite public statements - genuinely upset when Craig left him. not b/c he didn't understand (more money at your alma mater is hard to turn down), but bc Dameyune didn't give him the opportunity to match.

Side note: Jimbo also loves (loved) AU so it wasn't a bad blood thing there.

Is this what you're hearing that it's what they want to happen, or is this something that's going to happen? There's a difference.

The Raiders had that zone blocking stuff for a couple of years, then a brief reprieve, then another year of zone blocking.

When it works, it's a really good system. The problem is, for whatever reason, ZBS coaches always seem to teach ZBS and ONLY ZBS. I hate that. You need a mixture of both, IMO, to keep opponents off balance.

Are you close enough with Jimbo that he'd share this type of info with you? Genuinely curious. I doubt many people are, for obvious reasons.

Glad LSU is keeping a tight lip about whatever deal is going, so as not to frick it up.
I think they learnt a little something.

Luke Fickell...

He might if he considers it home. I'm not saying it's guaranteed, but it's not unheard of. Especially when such a high end option is available for the school at HC. It might just depend on how much he wants to be a head coach at some podunk, small school or if he just wants to stay home and make a million a year doing what he's an expert at. We'll see...

I assume you are joking right? Info about Jimbo has been leaking for weeks and there are still 3 weeks left in the season. Not sure how that is keeping a tight lip on anything.

I see Craig and Raymond stayin on for sure. Jimbo has wanted Raymond for a while. The oline coach they have has dealt with injuries and freshman so maybe he's not as bad as he looks this year

No. I've met him and his ex a handful of times, but we don't have each other's number or anything like that. He and I have a couple of mutual friends, and one in particular that has coached with him. The guy who has coached with him is one that he is close enough to that he'd share his thoughts and that's where I heard about the frustrations Jimbo had with Craig when he left.

My connections in the coaching world are, primarily due to business, almost exclusively Bama and AU related (or someone who has been at one of those schools and is now somewhere else). I do have a contact who worked at FLorida with Fedora. That guy would walk to LSU for the job.

OL has looked great all year really besides vs Bamas NFL front 7

Scheme against them is important and qb accuracy in a 3 step drop

And this is a totally different situation with an interim who's coached 4 games vs a 10 year guy who happens to be the winningest coach in school history. Public outrcy and perception isn't going to be that much of a problem.

I want to believe you.

I realllllly want to believe you.

But why should I believe you? I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but have you proven to have reliable information before? I know Random LSU Hero gets shite, but I've witnessed that guy call several things months before they happened and were out of left field.

Do you have any moments like that? I really hope you do because I'll get rock hard.

No info has leaked. This is message board chatter.
