re: Why is it so hard to get top OC/DC at LSU

I can only assume they can’t take the heat. And they don’t want to battle Saban every year. We always hear coaches would line up to be here. Well where are they? It’s strange
Or maybe it’s the traffic

I am starting to think that maybe Kelly thought focusing on the recruiting part was more important than getting the coordinators in place.
He hired Wilson and Polian who are top notch recruiters and then confirmed Brad Davis would remain on staff as the position coach of probably the biggest need on the roster. The rest of the staff are in their evaluation period and are still recruiting for LSU in the hopes they may be retained. That part did have a negative effect on some. See the Joseph and Raymond departures.
If you are good at communicating your vision then you don’t necessarily need to have the coordinators in place. You just let the recruits know what type of scheme and person you are wanting.

It’s hard for anyone. Top level people tend to get a lot of offers and attention and their current employer tries hard to hold on to them.

yep I think that's fairly obvious at this point

Today is signing day. Coordinators and assistants will be playing musical chairs very soon.
Plus, LSU has been pushing for the best of the best - Freeman, Elkins, White - when you swing big like this it's pretty common to miss on a few.

How does that explain LSU hiring Kelly away from ND? If LSU was so knee jerk to replace Orgeron, why was he not a serious candidate for any of the HC job openings?

This thread isn’t about what LSU fans think, it’s about perception by potential OC/DC candidates.

LSU has had like 1 bad DC in 20 years.
OC has been an issue due to the hiring manager.
Grabbing great, established coaches is more of a timing thing than anything else.
Early signing day throws a wrench into this. Because coaches are being fired earlier, but a lot of assistant coach candidates are either still grinding in recruiting or bowl prep, or are in the NFL.

You'll get killed for this. Anything BK does right now is bullet proof. Even if you like the hire, like myself you can't qustion anything he does because you'll get attacked and down voted! The fact he doesn't have coordinators right now is not good. Everybody knows this to be true, but you better not say it out loud.

This is really dumb. He caught lightening in a bottle for one incredible year. The next two years he ran the program into the ground and let a toxic environment fester. So the smart thing to do would be to give him additional time to fix it? No thanks. Intelligent people understand this.

Despite what rival fans and sycophants like yourself want to believe, people in the industry know O is a goofball who was in hilariously over his head and at the first sign of success completely blew his life up like he was 16 years old.

Kelly said himself when intro’d as LSU’s coach that his priority was reaching out to the current LSU commits and establishing a relationship with them.
I imagine with ESD today, he’ll switch gears a bit and we’ll have the coaching staff completed shortly.
He’s done this before at Cincinnati and ND — people need to give him more than 2 weeks and quit expecting him to wave a magic wand and fix everything in a second.

Ever think maybe it’s because Baton Rouge specifically and Louisiana in general is a shithole? If you’re a good candidate, you’re a good candidate everywhere. Maybe you look at the location and say “nah, I’ll pass on the 49th or 50th worst
Place in the country to live and raise a family and wait for a position in a place my
Family will be better off living.

It’s more about how you girls are going into panic mode.

Right because places like Norman, College Station, Tuscaloosa, and Gainesville are so fricking great
