This isn’t a common sense statement.

Maybe make an arguement.

Well, its more being sarcastic. We know he won't. And if he does, it will be stupid, which will be fun.

How do you know Raymond wants to be a DC?

Did the post go the way you expected it? I bet it didn’t.

Well I think you can make Corey Co-DC with a focus on Pass Coverage Installation. Arnett can be Co-DC with Run game, pass rush and blitz installation and caller on game day.

Give Corey a good raise and have him work under Arnett and at if Arnett gets a HC gig in a few years, Corey can move up. I don't believe the Mallory/Peveto 2008 situation should impact LSU having a CO-DC.

Kirby at UGA as CO-DC's and that has worked well there. Harsin the New Auburn Coach used CO-DC's at Boise State and won well there, he is bringing both those guys with him to Auburn to work under Mason who has the Solo DC role.

No, it's actually a pretty solid hire.

Because he's never called a defense, while the other guy is a proven commodity.

Because you're stupid.

Arnett wouldn't come over here for that.

Yes, hiring a proven good dc is much worse than hiring a guy who has never been a dc.




Even thinking it's slightly worse would be idiotic. Not because I don't think CR can lead a good defense. I think he can. But he's never done it. Arnett has.

He's by far and way the best available hire. Literally 10x better than promoting Raymond

What is making at State? Money might make him reconsider but since he is now a Solo DC, you are probably correct. CO-DC's are usually when you have two young up and comers like UGA does and you give them different installation areas and responsibility as CO-DC similar to Kirby at UGA with his 2 young CO-DC's.

Why hire a young SEC DC over a 51 year old DB coach who has never been a DC before? Is this really a question you need an answer to?

1 mill per.

And that would be a demotion. He also interviewed with Oregon.

He would just stay where he was unless the money difference was outrageous. Even then I think he wouldn't do it as it would be a potentially bad career move.

Raymond wants the whole DB room, the whole D meeting room, and for Callaway to be promoted full time. Respect his wishes!
