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?
One of your “serious candidates” is a 60 year with a head coaching record of 13-25 over a decade ago and hasn’t coached in college in the NIL era

He did call plays and was involved in place calling except at FSU. His one season as OC at Oregon had Oregon scoring 38+ points a game. Bo Nix had 3500+ yards and Bucky Irving had over 1K yards rushing.
Arizona State has never been a top recruiting stop no matter who the HC is lol. You don't think he would be able to recruit and develop QBs at LSU?
Everyone wants Kiffin bc of his offense. Dillingham offenses and QB development has been noticeable.
I am saying if he was to become the HC, it is not the doom and gloom that many predict because previous Lane did not come. Will he leave his Alma Mater? That is the big question.

Todd monken hasn’t been a head coach in over 10 years. Chances are he could’ve learned something between now and then.
He’s a guy with a ton of SEC experience, and is a good coordinator. I didn’t say he’s a serious candidate, I said if you want experience he’s a guy you interview. He’s won national championships, he’ll he’s coached at LSU. This is the problem when you morons say “list someone then” you just try to act like that’s who I want to be the coach. It’s a deflection when you know you’re being shown you have no clue what you’re talking about and you’re advocating for a guy who is flat out not ready for a job of this caliber.
You’ve clearly never hired anyone. You interview people and see who has the best plan. You don’t make hires off of press conferences, like you would.

2022 Oregon offense averaged 500 yards per game and 39 points per game. The players he’ll have at LSU would be much more similar to that Oregon team than what he has now at ASU.

You said Dillingham wasn’t a serious candidate and we asked you who were serious candidates then. You explicitly said Todd Monken as part of your answer

Why would you list them if they weren’t acceptable options? You can’t be this stupid

Dillingham shouldn’t be a serious candidate
A serious candidate to me is someone who makes it to the final 3 prospects. You can and should vet more than that, and many more are likely reaching out to gauge interest.
He should stop at the initial vetting, it doesn’t take much digging to see he’s not ready.

If LSU hires Dilly they'll be doing this whole dog and pony show again in 3 years.
This is my biggest fear.
His teams play hard, but my goodness, they try their damndest to frick around and blow games. I mean, the stats are in the OP. The Rant would lose its collective mind if LSU played like ASU does on a weekly basis.
My mind is just blown by how many posters are not only comfortable, but enthusiastic about giving him the keys to the program right now. I feel like the job would eat him alive if he struggled early on.

Are you suggesting LSU can’t get players of the caliber of Skattebo?

That’s the thing. This is a critical hire, you cant bust and Dillingham is very high bust risk.
A lot of posters are double digit iq you have to remember that.

Everyone but Kiffin is high risk
Especially Golesh and Morris who have barely won at the G5 level
And I’ll mention again, you said Hartline is a serious candidate and now you’re talking risk. You can’t be serious

Hartline is absolutely a risk, which is why he’s not my top choice.

Who’s your top choice? And if it’s Kiffin, who’s next since it’s a distinct possibility he may not accept

Why do you care? We clearly do not see eye to eye on coaches so I seriously don’t know why you would care or I’d give any more of my time?

you’re certainly insinuating he’s responsible for those teams offensive success. Conveniently forgetting he didn’t call the plays
A few posts ago you defended Hartline by saying “he doesn’t need playcalling experience”

Because they’re going to have clear holes in their resume and when I point them out you’re either going to deny they exist or minimize them and further make you look like an idiot

Like I also said, Hartline claim is not to be an offensive genius, it’s that he is the best recruiter in the country. Guys can have different strengths
Not every head coach is a great play caller
