CSB. Last night I was at the CSU-Air Force game in the suites and struck up a conversation with the guy sitting next to me. He asked me what I thought about the snow and I told him I’m from Louisiana and I’ve never seen a football game like this. I mentioned LSU and he told me his best friend in the world is the offensive coordinator there. We talked about the atmosphere in tiger stadium and how his best friend keeps trying to get him to come see a game. I told him he should go so he said screw it I’m gonna do it. Told me as good of a coach as his friend is, he’s an even better person and he’s enjoyed watching his success down there. Didn’t think anything of it but when I got back to my seat from the bathroom he was on the phone and said “someone wants to talk to you.” It was Mike Denbrock.
I told coach how happy everyone is with the offense and tried to let him go quickly but he just kept talking to me like we were old friends. He said he plans to stick around for a bit and I said I hoped so too but that I won’t be surprised when his head coaching number is called. What a nice down to earth guy and a conversation I never thought I would have in the middle of a snowstorm. The guy I was sitting next to at the game is Kent Baer.
Right after our conversation CSU was penalized for throwing snowballs at Air Force and security moved the entire student section 15 rows up in the stands.

Great story Jake (not from State Farm)...

I’ve heard from multiple people who’ve met MD and each one has said he’s a standup guy.
I hope he sticks around as well, he seems to be a very solid play caller
He’ll have his work cut out next year not having JDs legs to rely on though.

Doubt he gets a hc offer, he’s too old imo

Hopefully you didn't talk too long and told him you needed to hang up so he could devise his magic for the Gumps...

I had a chance meeting with Mike Denbrock at my job a few months ago. OP is right. He is genuinely just a down to earth guy. Very nice and humble. I congratulated him on being able to change the culture of the program in just one year. He thanked me and said “we just have to win at least 10 games every year so we can stay around.”
Sounds like he has a realistic expectation of what LSU fans require.

Did you ask Mike if he can coach defense, too?

That's a freakin' cool story. He seems like a stand-up guy and I hope he stays around for a while. Sometimes we forget that these guys are just ordinary people like ourselves when we start ripping on these guys!

tell him to install some goal line under center packages

Did you tell him that he needs to read the in game threads here? He can fix everything from the wisdom there.
