This is the closest you'll get to the Ed O hire.

It'd be like LSU hiring Frank Wilson as HC after Frank had already failed as a HC.

Knew this was coming

This is all about recruiting. The mid-Atlantic, DC, Virginia area has exploded with talent and has largely been unclaimed. Locksley will get those kids and if he can coach halfway decently, they’ll do well.

This will be what now, the 4th OC for Bama in 4 years. Yet LSU needs continuity at OC to succeed huh...

It supports the agenda so yea we will say we need continuity. Meanwhile elite coaches replace coordinators all the time. But it's not about being elite anymore and we all know it

Hmmmm

It’s almost like it’s the head coach that’s the most important position.

It’s almost like the “hire great coordinators” plan is horseshite

It’s almost becoming funny at this point. Bama can’t even get washed up head coaches to stay longer than a year and we have first year guys being offered 2 million a year for DC. Everybody wants some Bama

Locksley should look at Larry Fedora at OC. Knows the region and the conference and was a good OC once upon a time.

It also kind of fits the Jimmy’s and Joe’s not x’s and o’s Narrative. When you have the best players in the country it makes coaches look better. Shocking.

This is a big advantage for OU


Locksley is going to be busy recruiting and might not coach the playoffs.

He thinks he is an offensive genius, I bet he calls the plays and hires a figure head OC

He probably tries to take Gattis with him once Gattis realizes Hes relegated to Co-OC with Enos or Saban makes a power play for Freeze
