Looking beyond the obvious head coaches and coordinators, does anyone think LSU looks at any of the position coaches from schools going thru coaching changes?


Here are some highly regarded position coaches. Any others?

Eddie Gran (Running Back coach for Auburn)

Larry Slade (Secondary coach for Tenn)

Hugh Nall (OL coach for Auburn) also a great recruiter. I personally think coach Stud and Miles are ok with the O line.

Johnny Chavis Can probably land a DC job somewhere, but is highly recognized as a great LBer coach.

Andre Powell (RB coach at Clemson)

Larry Porter is Miles' pet, so he isn't being replaced.

Hugh Nall is a douche who started a mutiny on Franklin out of jealousy, so i'll pass.

We could use an entire overhaul on defense though. Earl Lane can go back to being a deputy sherriff/pop warner coach.

Larry Slade -

Hugh Nall - Have a great day!

Johnny Chavis - Doubt he takes a demotion.

Eddie Gran - Larry Porter has the job for as long as he wants it. He's probably the best recruiter on staff. I don't see a need for a change.

Andre Powell - See above.

I agree. I wouldn't mind seeing him as our DC next year.

From the link that Suntiger provided:

quote:

Chavis has been criticized for his use of the Mustang defensive package. Tennessee defensive backfield players line up between 5 and 15 yards away from the players they are covering in his scheme. The third string quarterback for a struggling UCLA team opened the 2008 season by beating Tennessee. With future NFL players in the defensive backfield in Demetrice Morley and Eric Berry, the secondary of Tennessee continues to struggle to stop short or long pass plays.

That's why I can't understand why people want him as our DC. If they hate the soft coverage that Pelini played they will really hate Chavis.

Wouldn't mind them bringing in one DC and having Slade coach the secondary.

Also, Gran is a good coach and I didn't know if he or Porter could coach WR or something.
