LSU could hire Vince Lombardi, Bill Walsh and Bill Belichek and people would bitch...You know they would.


100% correct. If you listened to the idiots on this board, LSU wouldn't have a football team. There are no coaches in this world worthy of coaching at LSU.

I am pretty sure he would be DC and LB coach...that is what he was at Tennessee.


I meant that he wasn't coming to be solely the LB coach. If he comes he will be the DC as well as the LB coach.

Ok,so Chavis + Coach O + a really good DB coach. What about a QB coach while we're at it? These young QB's need direction and they need someone on the sideline and not just in the booth during games.

Lombardi cant stop the spread,

The West Coast Offense is awful, so to hell with Walsh.

Belichek is a cheater.

Bring us some quality coaches dammit, Skip is a joke.

































Merry Christmas all

belowpar says Chavis as DC with Orgeron hired as Asst HC and Recruting Coordinator, DL coach.

Sounds like a decent idea.

I can't see Chavis getting that excited to coach a Clemson team right now. So, this makes it sound like it is LSU among all the other rumors floating.

I haven't seen belowpar say anything definitive about Orgeron. Last I heard, it was very much up in the air.

that is the very first thing i thought. He was probably looking at video of our players and our depth chart and laughing his arse OFF, just gigling at the amount of talent he will have in the sec west. He knows he will be absolute genious this time next year.

Add to that the fact he says "Jan 2,3,or4". There is no real reason to delay an announcement if the choice was Clemson.

Well, the same could be said about LSU's defense after the way they performed this season. Truth be told, Clemson's defense performed better than LSU's this season.

All that aside, Clemson board has been saying that their HC has said since the 1st interview with Chavis that no hire would be made until after the bowl game. Thus, this Jan. 2, 3, or 4 date that Chavis said could very well mean Chavis is still in contention at Clemson.

Also, to add to this, Clemson website says Chavis is Clemson's leading candidate and that a package is being put in place to adequately compensate Chavis comparable to what he was making at UT. When I read this, and regardless as to whether LSU can put together a better package for Chavis or not, it does not appear that Chavis has "decided on LSU" when there are apparently negotiations between his agent and Clemson concerning his package. So, with that being said, I'm not sure Clemson is the team that has been eliminated.
