Being the DC at SC is basically a glorofied position coach since Carroll controls the defense


Maybe so but if Petey offers he is SC bound...

O wants the title for resume purposes so he can sucker someone else into giving him a HC job

If these trends continue he could parlay a DL job at LSU, to a DCIW job at UT, to a DC position at USC, to a head coaching position at Boson College all in one offseason.

I would actually like to believe this is true.

I call BS on this. If this was true he would have come to LSU. Coaches dont live up to commitments, see Saban

Petey and O recruiting Louisiana would really piss me off. Recruiting board meltdowns would be imminent.

Some do, but this one smells fishy. If O was so in love with LSU why isn't he here, especially if offered more money. There is more to this than we know.

Do we really believe this? Coach O took the high road by taking a lesser offer from UT just because he was already "committed"? When supposedly he talked to UT "after" LSU when UT was making a last ditch effort? Just doesn't sound right to me. But maybe I'm way off.
