From Football Coach Scoop.....

LSU:
Sources tell FootballCoachScoop that the search for the replacement of Running Backs coach Larry Porter is in full swing. Head Coach Les Miles has his sights on Tyrone Wheatley, Eastern Michigan Running Backs coach, as he is a former Michigan star when Miles was an assistant and NFL star RB. Also, Les will talk with Tony Alford (Notre Dame), Frank Wilson (Tennessee), Robert Gillespie (Oklahoma State) and Clarence McKinney (Houston).

Tyrone Wheatley

Tony Alford

Frank Wilson

Robert Gellepsie

Clarence Mckinney

why is everyone so impressed w/ this guy? I mean, he's a solid coach, but nothing extraordinary as a recruiter, and that is a huge need for this spot.

I totally agree............Wheatley seems legit, and I'd take OSU's guy just cause he has SEC ties.

Gillespie looks like he had some poor rushing attacks at USCe.

Haven't found much on Wheatley outside of what I read in EMU's media guide. He doesn't have much of a resume as a coach.

This is true but I account playing experience into coaching.......10 years in NFL.

If Frank Wilson comes to LSU it will be his 5th school in 4 years.

Ole Miss 2007
Southern Miss 2008
Mississippi State (for a month and a half )2008-09
Tennessee 2009
LSU 2010??????????????

All jokes aside he is a hell of a recruiter and has great ties to the New Orleans and south Lousisiana area.

All jokes aside there's a reason Saban told him to get the frick after he signed Wilson's three blue chippers

frick Frank Wilson. Who cares about his recruiting? He can't coach for shite and will bolt the minute something goes wrong. Do. Not. Want. Hes slime and if you enjoy watching players blow up on their coach...you'll be rewarded with that in the Wilson hire.

And IMO, I do not think Wilson is as good of a recruiter as everyone says.

Is the reason Eddie Gran isn’t listed as a candidate for the running backs job because of the thought he would be going with Tubbs wherever he goes this year or in the future? I ask because he seems to be a hell of a running back coach producing some really nice backs and seems to be a pretty good recruiter at the same time or is there something I don’t know?
