Dead silence on OC search - waiting on Bryce?
Posted on 1/5/24 at 8:27 am

Is BK is waiting to confirm Sloan lands Bryce Underwood tomorrow before making him officially OC (maybe with Hankton)? If we somehow miss out on Underwood, is Sloan suddenly a less attractive option? There's got to be a reason for the total lack of outside candidate rumors while also holding off on promoting from within the building.

Even if he commits he can decommit the next day …

Sure, but if he commits elsewhere tomorrow, a lot of Sloan's appeal disappears instantly.

Sloans appeal has nothing to do with the whims of an 18 year old

How so?

So Kelly is basing his OC coaching search on a 17 year old kid?

Sloan’s value is in what he helped create in Daniels. Not a potential recruit.

No one will “Land” Underwood for another eleven months.

If you believe landing a nonbinding commitment from one kid will be the reason Kelly does or does not promote Sloan then you must not think very highly of BK. Because that sounds like idiotic thinking to me.
Sloan has shown himself outside of this kid to be an excellent recruiter. If recruiting is the tipping point to him getting the job, he should already have it.
If you plan to name someone else and you think Sloan will leave and Underwood will not commit, waiting does you no good at all, the kid will just flip if all that appeals to him here is Sloan.
There is also a chance that they are waiting on the Underwood announcement to make it official simply for the optics of that assuming they know he will commit to LSU.
I think the commitment itself, yea or nay, will not impact who the OC is. I think Kelly just does things his way and has either not decided if it is Sloan (or Sloan/Hankton) yet or they are working out the details and are waiting to announce when all the t's are crossed and eyes dotted.

Part of his value is his ability to recruit. Joe Sloan as an ace recruiter has been talked about over and over. To pretend that value doesn't take a hit if his biggest recruiting target goes elsewhere is ridiculous. We can argue about how much of a hit it would be, but to pretend it would have no effect is disingenuous.

And you are living in one if you think a head coach will hire or not hire a coach based on his ability to "land" a recruit. Especially his Offensive Coordinator.

Has he? Who are his other big-time recruits?

So you're saying recruiting ability doesn't matter for the OC? Especially for an OC without an impressive track record as a coordinator?
If recruiting ability does matter, then tomorrow means something for Joe Sloan. How much it means we can debate, but it ain't nothing.

Every single day. Every day this site finds a new way to blow my mind. Guess what? There's dead silence on the coaching search for the defense too. Anything you read is pure conjecture. Maybe there's no news on that because Harold Perkins hasn't turned in his coordinator wish list. Right?

Of course it does but Kelly is not a prisoner of the moment like fans. He can see the big picture.

Why is there DC conjecture nonstop? There are multiple reporters discussing candidates being contacted, conjecture or not. Heck, why is there a DC hot board here and no OC hot board? I'll answer - it's because most are assuming the hire is Sloan. Then that begs the question, if it's Sloan then what is BK waiting for? A possible answer to that question is my OP.
If anyone tells me they'd feel the same about Joe Sloan if LSU loses out on Bryce Underwood and George Macintire, they'd immediately lose all credibility. It's not everything, but pretending it's not a big part of Sloan's appeal is phony.

That's a tactic used around signing day. This is just a commitment announcement.
Posted on 1/5/24 at 9:39 am to Handsome Pete
BK has his reasons for the timing HP. Just like he did for firing four defensive coaches as quickly as he did. Posters here for weeks will offer every excuse and debate as to why,. But all that really matters is BK getting it right.
