But there is a good track record for coordinators who are seasoned under elite coaches at elite programs.
Hartline isn’t seasoned. So much so that he was demoted 2 seasons ago
And another of your serious candidates was almost 70 year old Willie Fritz

Didn’t call the plays at Memphis, or auburn, or Fl state.
His current recruiting class is horrific. Who has he landed?

What’s the Dillingham appeal?
*Remember* you fired the winningest current head coach: Throw that kid into the SEC gauntlet and he's a dead man walking.
College football has gone full retard.
Bookmark it: Dilly= Landry complaining in 36 months about buyouts.

Context is important, once again. I did not say I wanted Fritz, but if you wanted a seasoned veteran - he is a very good coach. You would know the context if you took the time to read the post.

And Hartline hasn’t called plays at Ohio state except for the year he did and did such a bad job they took it from him.
But one is a serious candidate and the other isn’t.
Note: the one who is not coached his team to the college football playoff

I’m not advocating for hartline.
God damn you’re a dumb frick

He’s seen as young and hungry and a players coach.
If I am him I consider it even if he’s super happy at his alma mater.
But you imagine that high energy back at LSU?! Seems like a character and they tend to do well here… Would they still give him the full backing like Lane?

Must be nice to be in a conference you can win but can’t even beat Mississippi state.

Offensive genius comes to mind.

Check the 3rd down offense and red zone - it gets even more hilarious

I did. It is one of many that made you look like a total moron.
30 something head coach who has coached his team to the playoff is not a serious candidate.
70 year old and guy who got demoted as OC with 1.5 years experience calling plays are.
And you’re trying to defend yourself

And his team regressed in year 3.
Fritz is a great coach, if you claim he’s not it shows how ignorant you actually are. Do I want him? No, but he’s a very good football coach, ask dilly how that went for him this year.
Hartline actually wasn’t demoted. And he doesn’t need playcalling experience, who said that’s why you hire him? If you hire him it’s because he’s the best recruiter in college football, not because he’s an offensive wiz - not one person has ever claimed he is.
Dilly is claimed to be an offensive genius. However in 4 of his 5 years as an OC he did not call plays. His teams are consistently bad on 3rd down and in the red zone, that’s a fact. So I’m not sure he’s actually an offensive wiz. So if he’s not, what’s his claim? He’s not an elite recruiter, that keeps getting pushed but it’s just flat out not true.
You like Dillingham, that’s fine.

Florida State has been fleeting since he left
Led Memphis to one of the highest powered offenses in the country
Bo Nix was freshman of the year at Auburn with him and revived himself at Oregon after sucking after Dillingham left
Had a really good offense and got to the playoff in year 2 at a program Herm Edwards left in a total fricking mess, including scholarship limitations
Made Jeff Sims look close to competent after SIX (6) years of being awful
So, yes, I agree

Personally, even if he is a good coach I think the LSU job is over his head.

Some of these takes are so stupid its baffling that some of you even know how to use the internet.
How do you "critique" a coach for recruiting a great player and then winning games because of that player?.
Isn't that literally the entire point of college football? Do some of you believe that Nick Saban or Urban Meyer didn't have great players?
Its like coming on here and saying: "Urban Meyer? Carried by Tim Tebow. Then after that he was carried by Zeke Elliott at OSU".

He did not call plays at Memphis, Fl state, or auburn. You clearly can’t comprehend that.

All of these guys have flaws, all of them.
But I feel like I’m taking crazy pills when I see guys say Dillingham sucks because he’s not ready and then purport Hartline or Monken (who hasn’t been in college football in the NIL era and was a disaster as a head coach more than a decade ago is.
Or guys saying Heupel sucks because of his gimmicky offense and the saying Golesh is their number one choice.
Like what the frick are we doing?
Posted on 11/18/25 at 5:19 pm to GetmorewithLes
you’re certainly insinuating he’s responsible for those teams offensive success. Conveniently forgetting he didn’t call the plays - and they all had very good offensive minded head coaches. All who also showed to not be great head coaches, so why wouldn’t we want the guy from that tree?
