I think we already have our defensive staff lined up but can’t announce it yet because the coach we are going to land is still coaching in college.


And Sark isn't?

If Bama and Texas want anyone we sign in a hurry, they can simply outbid us and buy out the contract to take them away.

Spot on! If Freeman was coming, he would already announced. He’s waiting to see what his options are and they are all going to pay more than what LSU has to offer.

For the last time... Coach O doesn’t want to run a 3-4.


Well buddy the best available DC’s seem to run the 3-4 and I’m sure he can run a 4-3 if that’s the direction our HC wants to go in. Best I can tell the better defenses are running variations of everything to slow these modern passing games down.

That was probably not supposed to leak out until after the NC game.

YES! We had a head start in this shite, and have probably given it away.

The top DCs are in demand and aren’t coming to LSU to run the defense O wants to run.

Gumps everywhere would rejoice at this move if true...like Sopsher to Bama a couple years back, a coup that turned into a waste of time and resources. Hard pass on Golding.

I agree. Put the best 11 guys on the field and run whatever it takes to be successful. Aranda ran a lot of 4-3 early on because we didn’t have the type of players he needed to be successful. This is a get right hire for our HC. Get it right or you’re out of a job.

I live in Alabama. They are much like us they hate all of their coaches not named Saban. I kind of figure if the guy sucked he wouldn’t be the DC at Alabama. Seems like anyone that spends 2-3 seasons under Saban wants the hell out of there.

I’d say the rest of those Louisiana boys I saw playing for Alabama last night did not look like a waste of time.

Each team ONLY GET 25 Scholarships a year there are a shite ton of athletes that are being missed. With the traditional bs stars ranking and coaches buy in on that crap has been shoved down everyone’s throat as the gospel. There are enough on the table for many programs.

Think he's talking about coaches, not players.

Coaches, that makes a big difference- Texas can outspend us for assistants and they get to live in an objectively nicer town. Alabama, they are elite across the board, and being a coordinator there seems to be a fast track to a good HC job (plus, there's the hope that Saban will eventually step down).

I thought everyone wanted an actual search... For LSU to take their time.

Who the hell would want to come here? We have a coach with no losing seasons, an SEC championship and a National Championship with the greatest LSU team in history, but lets fire him because it might be easy to replace him currently. Who the hell would ever want to coach in such a place?

This thread is about LSU’s coordinator positions, not head coach.

After coach O hiring a guy primarily because he wants a 4-3, and then complete failure being the result, the 4-3 might not be as much of a stipulation this go round.. but IMO we truly need a DC that runs a multiple defense. It’s better for recruiting but even more so for schematics.
