re: Why the hate for Corey raymond?

I don't think people hate him, thsy just don't like the product he was putting on the field his last two seasons.

Here is what I mean, LSU passing defense as measured but YPG passing of the opponent.

2012- #35 214.6 YPG
2013- #19 205.1 YPG
2014- #3 164.8 YPG
2015- #56 224.3 YPG
2016- #18 192.5 YPG
2017- #19 188.8 YPG
2018- #30 201 YPG
2019- #51 222.1 YPG
2020- #127 323 YPG
2021- #91 248.8 YPG


2020 was the worst pass defense in the history of LSU football, #127 was dead last. 2021 was nearly identical to this season in terms of pass defense.

For reference here are LSU's last two seasons:

2022- #45 217.2 YPG
2023- #106 253.8 YPG


But it is also true that the defense that is run and set in place by the DC has an impact on those numbers.

So like many, I wouldn't hate if they hired him back but I would prefer it to mostly be for recruiting. I would prefer for LSU to go a different route for their DB coach, however, But I really couldn't throw out who that should be.
