It has to be Nielson for LSU DC right?

That’s the only logical explanation why a DC hasn’t been hired yet. Hopefully, Coach O has reached out to him and a verbal agreement has been reached. I guess the official announcement won’t be until after the Saints win the Super Bowl.

Zero reason it could not be announced immediately if it was going to happen. None

That’s the assumption but we’ve been down that road before

Well I mean that's up to the coaches really. He may not want a distraction while the saints are in the playoffs. Also could be they have agreed to something verbally but Nielsen also wants to see if a NFL DC job comes in. If that's the case I hope O doesn't make this a kiffin situation and actually has a backup plan.

Maybe O is treating it like how the NFL treats it. Don’t announce a move until their respective employer is out the playoffs. That’s why Terry Fontenot hasn’t been announced GM of Falcons or Dan Campbell head coach of Lions.

Jesus, assuming this is Joe Barry. You're the second person to mention smoke around his name so must be something to it. Would be an absolutely terrible choice and of course he's freaking connected to USC.

That’s exactly it. As soon as the saints season is over Neilson will be announced.

Its actually against NFL rules for a coach to interview somewhere else if their team is still in the playoffs except if its for HC position

Pretty sure this is why his name is getting any attention at all

Who is the assistant on the ravens staff?


Barry has always been a linebacker coach.
I remember he was the redskins dc for a year or two.

Going to be funny when he tells O thanks but no thanks he has NFL positions with him on a short list for DC or HC jobs over there. Then most of the good DCs are signed in college by then.

I don't think we'll have to wait long though. Saints staying home Sunday after the Bucs game. Brees retires with 3 straight losses in the playoffs at home. RIP

Why do people just dismiss a coaching canidate and not give any productive criticism of said person .
What do you know about Barry that disqualifies him from
being a good choice. I`m sure you must be in the college
football industry to have such an opinion.
And dont just say he`s never been a play caller.

D985 yoyu only must truly hate coach O.Everything so negitive .
you are one of Nicks catastrophy syndrome guys.
I hope one day you will see what kind of job O is doing
and enjoy LSU football and let thing play out as they
will and I promise you this coach is building a program and
not a team.This ain`t a fast food fix.
You act as if O is the coach who is having trouble finding
fits for his program.Take a look next door in Texas and
other schools.Do you think CUM is a good coach,look at
who might be his OC.Yet O was an idiot for hiring him.
I just guess haters gonna hate.

The Saints Defense doesn't need that kind of a distraction right now!

If the Deal is Done, a few weeks isn't going to make a difference......

A shite ton? What disqualifies the guy that last time he was a DC he had back to back 28th ranked NFL defenses and got fired? When he was the Lions DC before that they were the worst defense in the league and went winless as well. He's a terrible defensive coordinator that's the complete opposite of young and on the rise.

Are you talking about a different Barry or something?
