I think RC has been pushing Raymond as DC


The last time we won a NC we lost our DC and promoted from within = failure.

Clark is not an idiot...he gives some of the most insightful opinions out of all talking heads on ESPN. He might say something from time to time I don’t agree with but may no means is he an idiot!

He may not be an idiot, but he fricking sucks. And his antics before the game were almost as cringe as Odell’s, only he wasn’t fricked up and is at least 10 years older.

I remember when a lot of former basketball players wanted a certain coach. former players are terrible coach evaluators.

Not saying i agree, just throwing it out there from what I’ve seen on social media and heard from a couple of horses mouths.

Not sure Raymond is the right guy at DC yet. He hasn't done it anywhere and LSU has to get this right. Now, if they want to up his role in the gameplan on defense...I'm all for that. You don't just hand the keys to a guy who has never sniffed being a DC. Give him a bigger title and let him be a significant role in the gameplans for defense.

We need a homerun hire. I wouldn't be mad at Raymond being DC though. I'd rather him stay and he has been an elite recruiter+developer in the best DBs in the country every year.

I think we could do worse. I also think the majority of the fanbase would get ptsd if we go the co-DC route coming off a title season

O has had a target in mind I believe for awhile. It won’t be Raymond. But I would expect a tie to LSU or
The area.

We basically had co-ocs this year between 2 guys so it can work if the chemistry is there.

Former and current players have a poor record of picking coaches in general.

Current players wanted O. So they’re not always wrong.


Personally I think we could do a lot worse than Raymond but I think we could do a lot better as well.

I wouldn’t be pissed to give him a chance but it damn well better work out if we do.

Don’t be surprised if the same players that supported O to be hired blast him in public if Raymond is who they want and he doesn’t promote him.

Whenever the guy already there works out, they are right.

Whenever the guy already there fails to work out, they are wrong.

There are rarely co-coordinators. Usually one is the actual coordinator and one is just a title for money and prestige.

I wouldn’t have a problem if Raymond was the latter.
