What about Major Applewhite?

I'm not saying he should be the guy for sure, but why not consider Major Applewhite? He's from Baton Rouge, and Mack Brown seems to think highly enough of him to make him a Co-OC. Plus, he seems to have had success everywhere he's been.

Someone posted the rankings his offenses had and I don't think any were higher than 50th in the country. I could be wrong though....

Again, if he weren't, would you really consider him a good candidate for the OC job at LSU? NO

Really... You may want to go back and do some research.

Or you could look at it as he went all over the country to learn from the best in the business just so he could bring what he learned back home?

What ?
He's from Baton Rouge....Catholic High School. He left Baton Rouge to attend the University of Texas. Hence, he left LSU for greener pastures. Which is fine, he did what he had to do... don't come back though.

Here's his resume:
2005 - QB coach at Syracuse....went 1-10 and scored the fewest points in 20 years
2006 - Rice OC - Ranked #58 in total offense, but best season offensively for them ever I believe. Still not impressive.
2007 - Bama OC - Ranked #75 in total offense, which is an improvement over 2006 in ypg, but not by ranking (#65). Still not very good.
2008-2010 - Texas RB coach & AHC
During his tenure at Texas, he's what he has accomplished as RB coach:
2007: #17 Rush Offense (before he got there) (539 carries)
2008: #41 (508 carries)
2009: #61 (513 carries)
2010: #66 (433 carries)
Colt McCoy was the starter at QB from 2006-2009 fwiw.
