re: Josh Pate claims LSU will be on the market for a new DC next season

Hiring is always a crap shoot. House's resume was of the #6 defense at KY, NFL experience, and the Honey Badger's recommendation as well. I recall when BK hired Lindsey he wanted a coach with SEC recruiting experience, and House had that at KY. It made sense on paper.

For whatever reason it didn't work out in year 2, but for anyone to say, "he never should have been hired" is revisionist history.

I think it was more concerning to not retain Raymond, but in all honesty he was living on his reputation the last few years here at LSU and after what Daniels did to his DBs at UF one could point to that and say Raymond needed to go.

It'll be an interesting offseason; I do think BK understands what is expected of him and will make the appropriate changes.
