re: How would you feel about Sonny Cumbie (TCU) as the next OC at LSU?

Great points OP. I spent some time with Sonny a few years ago and here is my take. He’s extremely nice, extremely down to earth, and puts his family absolutely first. There are family considerations that would keep him from moving and I’ll leave it at that. Not saying it’s out of the question, but I left that day thinking he was as content as one could be. Doesn’t mean agents won’t play the game, but I would bet he’ll be there a while, or in the general region. He’s not an ego-driven personality. It’s a do what I have to for my family one. JMO

Serious question, if you’re Cumbie and you see what just happened to Canada, are you giving your current gig up for here? You said it, he has total autonomy there and great pay.

Let's put it in terms you understand... if you had a chance to get move to another school and be their senior janitor and get $1.00 hour raise but the last guy who had that position was run of because he couldn't get along with the Lead Janitor would you pass on the job? Nope you'd take the raise and opportunity to help support your family! Plus you know NO ONE cleans toilets like you!

I agree with this. Austin seemed too far oddly enough. He should be a target because I think he’s really good and his genuineness comes across. I just don’t think he’s going anywhere. When I say the man was not your typical coach at that level, he was just very normal....and I mean that in the most complimentary way.

Another issue could be keeping him in Baton Rouge if we got him here. With Kliff Kingsbury's uncertain future at Texas Tech, you'd have to imagine that Cumbie would be one of the first calls they make.

However, he has already left his position of offensive coordinator at Texas Tech to take the same job at TCU. So maybe he doesn't see Tech as a destination job or a place he wants to raise his family. Who knows, really.

No.

Back off, home boi!

Take down that sig pic, TCU fan.

Let me clear something up for anyone throwing out the names of offensive coordinators as if we just get the luxury of choosing.....this Orgeron thing isn’t going to attract top names. He has no business meddling on offense yet he did. Thank god we already had Aranda. Saban is an a-hole yet he can replace his OC every year and still make it to the playoffs. Think about that. They aren’t coming here to glean any coaching wisdom from O. O will hire someone he is connected to. It’s the only reason Briles name is even being mentioned.
With every decision it becomes more apparent that he is who we thought he was. I’ve said this before but anyone who thinks this type of coaching heirarchy is sustainable is kidding themselves. O is not the guy that can afford to keep running off talent. But he will. We are stuck with this guy and more importantly we are stuck with this administration.

Wants a HC gig.
