What's the protocol in these situations? We hire a guy who for reasons beyond his control can't perform his job duties. Does LSU have long term disability like most organizations? Seems like once it was determined he couldn't do his job, we should have looked for a permanent replacement. Seems to also be a killer in recruiting

March 23 - Jamar Cain leaves LSU for NFL
May 1 - Jimmy Lindsey Hired
August 2 - Jimmy Lindsey steps away for health issues.

You can't just go grab a top-tier D-line coach in August. John Jancek isn't some idiot who doesn't know football. He played college ball as a D-lineman. He's spent a lot of his coaching career as a DC and has coached multiple positions including D-line. He was the best fit at the time. Yes, BK could have called Pete earlier to help out. But it isn't like they just gave the position to some inexperienced GA. BK has an army of analysts around the team. It wasn't unreasonable to think he could handle the position.
