Head Coach: Ed Orgeron - retained
General Manager: Austin Thomas - retained
Offensive Coordinator: Matt Canada - GONER
OL Coach: Jeff Grimes - retained
RB Coach: Tommie Robinson - GONER
WR Coach: Mickey Joseph - GONER
TE Coach: Steve Ensminger - retained, but retirement lurking

Defensive Coordinator: Dave Aranda - retained, but LSU needs to be on its toes here
DL Coach: Pete Jenkins - RETIREMENT
LB Coach: Dennis Johnson - retained
DB Coach: Corey Raymond - retained

LSU would once again have to conduct a nationwide, no stone uncovered search for a new OC. Looking at the qbs on staff, it may be smart to look at more of a spread fit than the type that we usually attract. So the revolving door at OC keeps spinning.

Grimes will be retained to try to keep his already impressive 2019 OL haul in tact. Kardell Thomas and Kenyon Green are absolute must haves and must keeps for LSU.

I'm really not sure what value Robinson/Joseph have added to the staff, either on the field or in recruiting. I'm looking for an overhaul on the offensive side.

LSU's best recruiters reside on the defensive side in Johnson and Raymond, so O's not letting them go anywhere. Aranda will get looks from all over, so no telling what happens here. Literal recruiting deadweight Jenkins will be gone in his own volition due to retirement.

Explain? Surely you don't think he's getting fired?

Not likely. He has a contract, and he's not going to get paid by anyone like he's getting paid now, so why would he leave.

Head Coach: Ed Orgeron - staying
General Manager: Austin Thomas - staying
Offensive Coordinator: Matt Canada - staying
OL Coach: Jeff Grimes - fired, top target should be Greg Austin of UCF or Tony Sparano Jr of the Jaguars
RB Coach: Tommie Robinson - stays
WR Coach: Mickey Joseph - stays
TE Coach: Steve Ensminger - retires

Defensive Coordinator: Dave Aranda - stays but 2018 will be his last year
DL Coach: Pete Jenkins - retires. They'll try to steal Alabama's DL coach. A top target for them should be Byron "Bam" Hardmon from Troy who played at Florida not too long ago.
LB Coach: Dennis Johnson - stay
DB Coach: Corey Raymond - stay + new contract

Canada has a pretty big contract. Not sure he would just walk away from that. Plus it would be his 4th job in 4 years. That kind of moving around has to get old.

RB Coach: Tommie Robinson - GONER
WR Coach: Mickey Joseph - GONER



Don't know about either of these two. It's hard to judge how good of a job they have done with the amount of injuries and attrition.

quote:

TE Coach: Steve Ensminger - retained, but retirement lurking


I think he will be moved to an administrative type role.

The defense the next few years will be loaded. He isn't going to walk away from that knowing his stock will be sky high after working with that talent.

quote:

DL Coach: Pete Jenkins - RETIREMENT


Agreed.

quote:

LB Coach: Dennis Johnson - retained


Agreed

quote:

DB Coach: Corey Raymond - retained


He could be offered a DC spot soon. Seems like he has been a db coach forever. Hopefully he sticks around.

He is from New Iberia and played at LSU. Making $425,000 a year to coach a game you love, in a place you love is a pretty good gig.

BBQ Boy Grimes, GOAT Recruiter Joseph and inexperienced GA Johnson should be fired on the bus on the way back from the bowl game. (BTW, if Grimes is retained, I'm done with this program until he's out)
