a recruiting ninja who knows the area and can coach DL would be a plus. If only this board could find someone to suggest.

When they realized that Chavis was making 1.3 and left for 1.7, they were getting pretty ticked the SEC is throwing around that much money for coordinators.
Have they seen the staff Harbaugh is putting together? They'll learn eventually

They can thank bama
When bama hired saban and made him the highest paid coach in college ball before he ever coached a single game it set the wheels in motion for the coaches arms race. As a direct result and since that time we have seen the coaches arms race happen at the coordinator and position coaches. The head coaches do it to win and protect their big jobs. The way bama hired saban has had ripple effects through all of CFB from day 1 just look at how Petrino left the falcons or Harbaugh to Michigan. What gets lost is that it further damaged what was an already damaged amateur sport. As a result it has pretty much just become minor leagues for the pros.
And the schools that can't keep salary pace should perhaps just go 1AA for all intents and purpose. Sad but true

WE better not fumble the ball on Shoop
The pickings are getting thin

If things fall through w shoop, theres still a few interesting options. I like Bill Clark as a fallback.

To kick it around since hypotheticals abound here....
If Shoop joins staff, keeps Raymond, and puts either Brick/Cap'n Caveman at the DL coach position, then who coaches LBs?
Right now, we don't even have an LB coach since Chavis was double-duty there. Would Shoop coach them? I know he is mostly a DB/Safeties position coach by experience.
Or does Miles/Shoop decide to shuffle others around on the staff to make room for a standalone LB coach slot? (which would obviously go to Mike Singletary)

To be fair, LSU played a BIG part in starting this arms race back in '99 when they hired Saban from MSU and gave him $1.2M, a relative unheard of sum at the time.
From a Mitch Albom article at the time
quote:
So please don't say you were surprised Tuesday when the guy finally bit on one of the lures in the water. To be honest, the only question I had when I heard that Louisiana State was going to make Saban the third-highest-paid college football coach in America was simple:
Why him?
No offense to the work Nick has done in East Lansing, but the guy hadn't exactly lit it up before this year. His record at MSU is 34-24-1. Take out this year's excellent 9-2 season and he's barely above .500. Does that put you right behind Hertz and Avis in the college football pecking order?
Does that get you shoulder-to-shoulder with Florida's Steve Spurrier and Florida State's Bobby Bowden, both of whom have national championship rings and are in the hunt for No. 1 every year?

Its gonna really piss me off if we miss out on a guy like Shoop for something like not allowing him to bring a defensive assistant he wants.

quote:Probably a push move...O and Haley are pretty interchangeable. Frank Wilson and Brick Haley are the best recruiters on staff at LSU and are 2 of the best in the country at it. Not having O on the staff is not a detriment, but having him is an asset.
Hopefully brick bounces and we get Coach O

Where did the myth of brick being a top flight recruiter come from?

No one in the country finishes 2nd as well as Brick.

It definitely has gotten out of hand
Agreed, and where does it stop? Chavis was making $700k just 4 years ago, now he's at $1.7m.
Bottom line, I shouldve been a coach.

brick isn't as bad for the amount of shite we give him and compared to other guys on the staff he does bust his arse. But to say He and O are interchangeable as recruiters is false
