From when he was hired at LSU. Fluff stuff aside, dude sounds really thorough. Good offensive mind and a recruiter. The experience (especially as a playcaller) is the biggest concern.
A couple items/ quotes of note:

A couple items/ quotes of note:
quote:
And if you ask those who saw Sloan’s nine years at Louisiana Tech, they’ll tell you he’s destined for bigger things. They say he should be a head coach already and will be one soon. They say he handled more things at Louisiana Tech than anybody ever understood.
quote:
Sloan was elevated to co-offensive coordinator in 2019, and Louisiana Tech went 10-3 with the No. 2 offense in the conference behind quarterback J’Mar Smith and the Bulldogs signed the No. 1 recruiting class in Conference USA. Holtz has always been heavily involved in offensive playcalling, running similar systems for decades as he won 152 games across stops at four schools. But those in the program started to see modernization as Sloan took on more control. Yes, Holtz kept his hand in playcalling, but Sloan ran all the meetings and created most of the gameplans. Louisiana Tech started using more NFL concepts and changing little nuances to keep up with the times.

“He was super creative offensively,” Anthony said. “That Skip gave him that trust — Skip’s been around college football long enough to know what works and what doesn’t — for him to give Joe the keys, it’s kind of telling to what Joe is offensively in terms of creativity and doing some cutting edge stuff.”

So everyone here wants to hire a Co-OC from CUSA 
All because of one recruit

Certainly the risk is here, but BK does have precedent here, he promoted Rees from Qb coach to OC after letting chip long go
Sloan is ready. Make the move and let’s keep it rolling and keep the pressure on Underwood

There’s a lot of smoke that he was also very influential in Daniel’s growth from year one to year 2 and the offense’s evolution in general.
It’s very Joe Bradyesque.

I’d say the past 2 years of QB development and recruiting success play much more of a part

Yeah he's clearly a good QB coach with D1 OC expensive and 2 years under an old OC like Denbrock.
We are going to lose him to a P5 OC offer soon enough

Joe Brady went from a GA to NFL OC in two years.
This isn’t the 1990s anymore when coordinators have 30+ years of experience

Maybe it’s copium or whatever but I would’ve been a lot more upset today if we were talking about Sloan taking another role. Players love that dude and he’s got a skyrocketing rep. This kind of lines up perfectly with Sloans rise.
Just hoping we don’t overthink it or the “LSU has to have a 4 million dollar experienced coordinator” crowd doesn’t win out. Let’s just skip passed the Tommy rees flirtation immediately

No, we want to hire the QB coach from LSU who was very instrumental in not just developing Jayden Daniels into a Heisman Trophy winner, but having had one of the best handful of seasons by a QB in college football history.

He has a history of being a fantastic recruiter, way before any of us had every heard of Underwood.

Me too
Denbrock isn't special and is replaceable
Sloan looks to be on the rise super fast. That may not justify an OC hire but 2024 looks to be a big rebuilding/step back year so I think gambling on him in 24 is fine.

How about his play calling? What about that? Because I feel like being an OC involves a lot of that.
Posted on 12/22/23 at 11:29 am to ATLTiger
it’s Kelly’s offense regardless. Sloan is a great fit. No risk, high reward.

There is this, too

He’s done that before and has been the right hand guy to Denbrock and Kelly the past 2 years.
Would you rather Pat Shurmur or something? He’s called a lot of plays before

I've said this multiple times. 25' sets up as the money year. Talent, depth and experience will be better in 25'. IDK if Sloan is THE guy, but at the very least make him co-OC and get an playcaller with TE coaching experience to be his other co-OC.

is this where LSU fans start convincing themselves that it was all Sloan and and Kelly and no denbrock?

How many years did Joe Brady have? He’s currently the OC for the bills and is younger than 50% of this board

My first choice would be Babers.
Go ahead and look up his offensive history.

Maybe, maybe not. Defense should be better and schedule sets up nicely. I could see it going either way.
BK says year 3 is generally when his teams take the next step. This, because players start buying into the culture he is building.

He fell off a cliff after Sean Lewis left him but I wouldn’t hate that. I still like Sloan tho and think it makes the most sense.
