Oh damn, so you’re telling me the coach at Ohio State is able to recruit better players than the guy at Arizona State? I’m shocked.

It’s a simple question, who’s the best candidate, and if it’s Kiffin who’s the best second option?
You’ve done all the work to eliminate Dillingham, surely you’ve done enough to identify who you do like

What is the reason behind you saying " flat out not ready for a job of this caliber"?
Who is ready for this job of this caliber? What makes him ready?
He won a Power 4 conference championship and made it to the CFP in his second season. Refs screwed Arizona State against Texas and I think they should have won. Would have been in semi finals.
I'm not saying he is coming but if he did, I think he could be successful. The expectations for any coach coming should not be " NC in 3/4 years". It won't happen like that.
Another coach I think LSU should look at. Glenn Schumann (UGA DC). Bring back physicality to LSU. Build the program up like Saban did at Bama and Kirby did at UGA. He learned under both while at Bama and UGA. Top defenses at UGA since he has been DC.

Here you go bro.
AI: Memphis (2018)
In his year as offensive coordinator at Memphis, the offense was highly productive, ranking fourth nationally in total offense and rushing offense, and seventh in scoring offense:
Total Offense: Program records were set with 7,324 total yards (523.1 yards per game).
Scoring Offense: Averaged 42.9 points per game (7th in FBS).
Rushing Offense: Set a program record with 3,919 rushing yards (279.9 yards per game) and had two 1,000-yard rushers in a single season for the first time in program history.
Auburn (2019)
Dillingham's sole season as offensive coordinator at Auburn saw the team rank well within the competitive Southeastern Conference (SEC):
Scoring Offense: Averaged 33.2 points per game, which was third in the SEC and 28th nationally.
Red Zone Efficiency: The team converted 90% of red-zone possessions, the third-best rate in the SEC.
Key Game Stat: The offense scored 48 points in a win over #5 Alabama, the most points the Crimson Tide had allowed under coach Nick Saban at that time.
Oregon (2022)
During his time as OC at Oregon under head coach Dan Lanning, the offense again ranked among the nation's elite:
Total Offense: Ranked fourth in the FBS, averaging 507.8 yards per game after the regular season.
Scoring Offense: Ranked eighth in the FBS, averaging 39.7 points per game after the regular season.

I would prefer Schumann over Dillingham and if they are considering Dillingham I hope they vet him also.
I say he’s not ready because when you breakdown his coaching career and his head coaching stats, it’s not that impressive. Yes he had a great year last year, but it was also in a pathetic big 12. His offense was extremely reliant on one player, and was very inefficient on 3rd down and in the red zone. His offense this year is just bad. That’s not great for a guy who is supposedly an offensive genius.
Another poster above this just posted all of the OC stops and the offensive success, but doesn’t recognize he didn’t call plays in 4/5 seasons as an OC. I just see very high bust risk, that’s my personal view.

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.
But if LSU hires Dilly....man, that's going to be a catastrophe.
That kid is not cut out for the SEC gauntlet at L S U. The pressure will chew him up and spit him out like a rag doll.
LSU has to make a good hire this time. If yall muck this up, you're guaranteed 3 more years of wandering in the wilderness, and you just might join the ranks of Auburn and Florida: springing hope eternal for the next 15 years while continuing to stumble around in the doodoo ditch of mediocrity with the other perennial nothingburgers of college football.
Think logically and with reason: Is Dilly going to bring home a national title in 3 to 3 ½ years? Really? Is he???
Dilly= disaster hire.

Correct.
And the answer is no, because he’s fools gold.

Schumann may be good, but the defense has gotten worse every year since Lanning left and he works under a defensive head coach so how much authority does he actually have?
You can’t shite on Dillingham all week and then try to pull this shite and think anyone will take you seriously

He is in 3rd year coaching. Many thought Deboer was not ready for SEC either. Les Miles best win total was 9 wins and lost the bowl game. In fact he was 1-2 in bowl games. Best finish was 3rd place in South division. Yet he had success at LSU.
Orgeron was winless in SEC at Ole Miss. Many would say he was not ready either.
Point is if KD is hired he will have better resources available to him than at ASU. Not saying he would leave his Alma Mater but I don't think it would be a "doom and gloom" hire.

Compare his record vs Kiffin. Just saying.
I think he is a better choice but... how do you get a guy with success at his Alma Mater making 7 mil a year?

He’s one of the most elite recruiters in history
Today, it’s all about the money. They all go to the highest bidder. So being an “elite recruiter” means nothing. They would all go to Sam Houston State if they offered the most money.
Even before NIL that term was stupid. Because 80% of the kids who go to a certain school always wanted to go there if they got an offer. So those were pretty much gimmes. The other top players who played the “who gonna show me the most love” game were the ones you had to fight over. And 99% of those kids also always had a favorite school where they always wanted to play. So that term is stupid.

Young and fired up offensive guy. Players love him. When lsu is doing well the players are also buying in to what you’re telling them
Posted on 11/18/25 at 7:21 pm to Lou Loomis
Obviously the landscape has changed. But you absolutely still have to be an elite recruiter. A lot of high school kids are getting comparable offers, so something has to be the differentiating factor.
Portal guys are typically going to be highest bidder, and also who’s going to develop them the best.

What’s the Dillingham appeal?
Recency bias. As is with everything else on this site. "They took Texas to OT". Whoopty shite.. They also barely beat Kansas and Texas State last year.
Dillingham's career has been mediocre. People will downvote this but not prove me wrong.
