So you don’t think Kelly is taking Frank’s suggestions on bringing Raymond back? He’s just doing that on his own? I highly doubt that.

Sometimes it takes a humbling like CR got from Florida. I’d imagine he’d do everything possible to stay here at his Alma mater given another chance. If he’s hired, we shall see.

This. People get complacent and think they’re not being appreciated, which affects their work. Sometimes it takes something like this happening to make them realize they weren’t putting in 100% and they come back with a newfound dedication. If that happens, Raymond at peak form is as good as anybody.

While I think we could’ve done better, I love it!! Hopefully he can find his mojo back to being a great db coach

If true, disappointing hire at best. Blake could have done much better.

In Corey’s defense, the DB coach can’t overcome a bad head coach. Orgeron and Sun Belt Billy were the major problems.


This is true.

Thing I hate most about Corey is how often he threatened to leave for another raise. Felt like every year

He's set up for success now with a no nonsense HC and a good DC.


This is true.

I'd give this hire, if it happens, a B. I think under guidance of Brian Kelly, he will be much better than he has been the last 4 years.

Could you please provide examples of DB/CB coaches who have a better resume than CR and would possibly come to LSU?

He couldn't bring it in when he was last here. Why would he start now?

I don’t have to. I’m not on the coaching staff. Apparently this was in the works months ago. It’s just lazy.

he missed all of his top targets on the recruting trail



This is blatantly false and can be disproved by anyone that knows how to use the internet


From internet search....it looks like he missed a lot.

Heres Coreys recruiter rankings:

2022 - 30th in SEC, 82nd nationally

2021 - 28 SEC, 70 nationally

2020 - 6 SEC, 14 nationally

2019 - 7 SEC, 13 nationally

2018 - 19 SEC, 52 nationally

2017 - 32 SEC, 76 nationally

2016 - 5 SEC, 87 nationally

2015 - 37 SEC, 81 nationally

2014 - 5 SEC, 6 nationally

2013 - 27 SEC, 58 nationally

Only 1 of those yrs, 2020, was he the highest rated recruiter on LSU's staff

These are wholly inaccurate and should never be referenced. These sites have barely any insight into who is actually recruiting players.

Guys drafted from our Secondary from 2017 til recently who Corey recruited and coached. Most are in the NFL still:

Jamaal Adams
Tre' White
Donte Jackson
Greedy Williams
Grant Delpit
Kristian Fulton
Jacoby Stevens
Kary Vincent
Derrick Stingley
Cordale Flott
Jay Ward

..didn't include JBC because he transferred in after Raymond left or Kelvin Joseph and Eli Ricks (who would have been a top 2RD pick if he had stayed).

Ok.


Just a fact. Corey + Frank + Baker + Kelly will be a great recruiting tandem. Let's knock DL coach out of the park.

Much more worried about development and Corey holding us hostage every offseeason, although maybe since he's left and come back that will stop.
