Did we ever find out the jobs Canada reportedly turned down?

Are we really that insecure about this hire that we just HAVE to know who he said no to?


Give it up, look forward to 2017.

He's being a pussy as the kids here say.

No, that info was not made public. If you do some research on our new OC, you'll be very impressed with the multiplicity that he can bring to the offense.

Thread title should be Will we ever find out and the answer is no.

Pretty sure he turned down Bama 3 times.

Who knows, but it had to be P5 having a need, or anticipating a need, for an OC.

I was told Bama offered, but he didn't feel like he would be free to run the offense as he would at LSU. I am guessing about OM wanting him, but given they hired just after us you'd think they would have at least reached out.

I believe UCLA made a pretty strong push at the final hour.

Why would he burn bridges by letting that info slip out? I'd question his intelligence if he did so. He's a good OC. Stop being insecure.

I would guess a few schools called. Just by seeing the coaching board, you can see where the vacancies were.

But thats not good enough for you, you actually want to know details that no one involved will or can ever share.

Not saying it wasn't Bama but it's unlikely. Most thought Sark getting hired a year ago was for that very reason. Sark is now OC at Bama.

Canada seems like a great hire and an improvement from anything you've had lately. Enjoy it and be excited about your future .....he didn't have to turn Bama down to be a great hire.

Is it that bad that you have to try to find a win there ?

gump, it is evidently bad enough of a concern for you to stick your bugger dripping nose into LSU bizness - go worry about your OC staying off the Wild Turkey.

Shouldn't really matter who else courted Canada. Coach O made a great hire!

Canada should be able do even better at LSU than at all his prior gigs.

Looking forward to some more great LSU vs Bama games!

He turned down 5 NFL Head coaching job, 10 college head coaching jobs, 100 offers to be OC other then Pitt and LSU. Then he chose LSU.

Are the LSU fans happy now? Do you feel special now?

Start the inevitable, "We're going to win the National Championship" threads now.

I agree. Sark has been in the works all along for bama. Canada probably got offers but not from bama imo. Too easy od a transition for many reason to see sark made sense. Now if he relapsed maybe but if that were the case he would've been gone. Lsu and bama now have two of the best OC's n the country. Ppl can say what they want about sark but his numbers speak for themselves at USC as an OC especially

Why are Alabama fans so defensive about the LSU hire? You people have been all over it.
