But, a great coordinator ready to jump to head coach is something that should always be an option
And that’s not Kelvin Sheppard, he has been a coordinator for 7 games taking over a defense that was ran by a now head coach

Mathieu should do either a player wellness rep guy first or maybe an analyst and then be a position coach before talking about him being a HC in the SEC.

I’m very confused on this take. Have LSU fans not seen what coordinators to HC have done to the league?
Feel free to list all the coordinators that had less than one season as coordinators that became successful HC.
ETA I realize I set myself up with this one. I meant college first of all but KS has been Lions DC for 7 games aka less than 1 season. Dani and Urban Meyer were never coordinators and became great HC coaches. Dani was promoted from with in when Clemson was still looked at as a 2nd tier program and Meyer’s first HC job was Bowling Green.

now very effective NFL defensive coordinator.
He’s been there for all of 7 games
And it was a good defense already

Again, I’m not endorsing Sheppard but look at G5 coaches compared to offensive / defensive with 0 HC experience. Elite coaches today that won’t come to lsu were former coordinators with 0 experience is my point

But pump the brakes, the hell if LSU is hiring a coach with Zero HC experience.

We hired the guy with the most experience and it didn't work out.
exactly.....can we stop with the stupid "must have head coaching experience" bullshite? that stupid shite is how we ended up with BK last time.
also stop the stupid that cant be a g5 coach too
again....we hired the guy wiht the most experience, most wins, etc last time...that shite didnt work and doesnt really work now.
sure if you can get lane, dan lanning etc sure go get them. but understand its gonna cost a shite ton.
most people on this board want lane and want him to take a 5 year 1million a year base with it being all incentives after that. THAT shite IS NOT HAPPENING!!!

If Kelvin really wants to Coach at LSU, then come coach LB's and maybe help Blake Baker find a scheme to stop running QB's!
how fricking stupid are you
yea a current NFL DC is going to take a voluntary step down because LSU fans are retards?
take your 90 IQ arse back to bed. Your check will come at the end of the month

Kelvin has 2 options. Move up the pro ranks to become a pro head coach. That’s my guess as to what he will do. He will eventually get a head job in maybe 5-10 years. If he wants to coach college he could become a defensive coordinator at a high level college program like LSU with no problem. After this he could eventually take a head coaching job at a smaller college program and work his way up. That’s probably 5-10 years away from being a head coach at a major program. It’s what Kelvin decides to do. If he wants college he has to leave the pros soon.
this isnt 2005 anymore. He will be an NFL head coach in under 3 years if he continues to produce.
and why would he need to take a g5 HC job if he went to be a DC at a P4 program? the best programs hired mainly coordinators from other P4 programs

100% agree this stupidness needs to stop. We’ve got extremes from CALL Nick Saban to hire Kelvin Shepherd from the Detroit Lions who’s been coaching all of five years
Not in college, but at the pro level
The resume of the Tulane coach is 10 times that of Kelvin Shepherd
People stop listening to former players on hires
We were told how great the LB coach from Kansas City was going to be for us how that turn out?
Maybe that was a Kelly problem I don’t know, but that was a disaster.

I'd have no problem taking a top coordinator from a top ranked college team. We can't promote an NFL coordinator. He has no recruiting experience since his own in 2006. The pro and college games are completely different animals off the field.
I wouldn't melt if they hired him on the defensive staff.
Posted on 10/28/25 at 6:20 pm to LSUholddatTiga
So you rather hire the long list of losers available? Because unless you are going to bring CEO back, there’s no one with a natty that’s coming. All I see is a long list of overpaid, already content recycled garbage. We need the fire, and someone hungry to win. Someone who can make the kids want to play hard. If that’s not Sheppard then I wouldn’t be surprised if we are posting on another “coach changing board” in a couple of years

Dan Campbell, Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh were never coordinators just off the top of my head

Maybe. He's been in charge less than half a season.
It isn't simply "we need a proven head coach". I'm not against hiring a coordinator, but what does Kelvin bring to the table, honestly?
-COVID season Director of Player Development at LSU
-Couple years coaching LBs
-7 games as an NFL DC
Kirby had 16 years in college w/ 7 as DC under Saban
Lanning had 10 years in college. 4 as DC, 3 of those at UGA under Kirby
Day 14 years in college, 2 as OC under Urban at OSU
Those guys had relationships. They had seen how a college program operates for years. They networked. They knew other college coaches. They had GAs and position coaches under them they met and worked with they could call.
Who does Kelvin Sheppard hire? Do you just put him up top and let Austin Thomas handle the staff? Has he handled recruiting? Has he handled boosters? Has he managed a roster?
He's a risky hire.

Tomlin was a DC for the Vikings for at least a year. Harbaugh was ST Coordinator for several years which I think the NFL considers the same level as OC/DC, but those are all NFL.
Dabo and Urban Meyer were never coordinators. Meyer it should be noted started at Bowling Green.

Very risky hire. I can see an asst, but they have to have college experience, and under someone good.
Sheppard may be great, but just look at his predecessor. Glenn is thought to be bombing with the Jets, now it is the Jets so that makes a difference.
Sheppard has a future, but i have no idea how far he will go. And it is a risk
