why do we have to wait for an NFL guy?

I pray to god its either him or Nix

You don't want Bennet but pray for Nix who was fired year before last. Makes sense

1. Because it's the polite thing to do. Helps keep your rep as a HC in CFB, especially at a high profile program where your coordinators are likely to rotate out to HC'ing jobs every 2-4 years ... which means you're going to need a steady stream of bright, up-and-coming coordinators to fill their predecessor's shoes ... if you mean to buck the trend and stick 'round for a very long tenure as HC at a high profile CFB program.

2. Because you know no DC, no matter how much of a defensive wizard he is, can install a viable D in three weeks in time for a bowl game. Unlike Auburn who fired their coach and is having a run of de-commits, LSU is suffering no similar panic amongst it's own 2009 class commits.

3. Because you may have promised the NFL organization from whom you intend to hire your DC that you'll hold off introducing your new DC 'til after he's fulfilled his commitment this season to said NFL team.

Just a few reasons why CLM could be waiting for an NFL DC, if it's his DC choice for LSU.

he wasnt fired:


COLUMBIA - South Carolina is losing defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix to a school in Mississippi after all. Just not the one everyone initially thought it might be.

Ole Miss announced Tuesday afternoon that Nix will move across the conference to become the Rebels' new defensive coordinator.

A pay raise and the chance to work closer to home - Nix has spent most of his life in Alabama and Mississippi - played heavily in the decision, which ostensibly appears to be a lateral move for a man who was recently involved in discussions for the Southern Miss head coaching vacancy.

"Change is part of this profession and I think the best thing for me at this time is to go work for the University of Mississippi and see what we can get done there," Nix said through USC. "It will be great to be closer to home."

USC coach Steve Spurrier was returning from a weekend in New York when he learned of Nix's decision.

"We wish him the very best at Ole Miss except when they play the Gamecocks," Spurrier said in a statement. "We understand change is part of the coaching profession and hopefully this will be a good move for everyone."

How is that selective in any way? You said we shouldn't hire Robinson because "he flat out fell on his arse at Syracuse."

Nix was a quality DC at Scar and wasn't fired. Now hes fantastic at Ole Miss.

Robinson was awful at Cuse and got fired. call Syracuse a graveyard if you like, you'd probably be right, but the fact remains he had the lowest winning percentage in a three year span in the schools history. he went 7-28. before that Pasqualoni had one losing season out of 14. before that, from 81 to 91, Dick McPherson went 66-46 and was undefeated in 87. Robinson got fired in KC, then had one year at UT then was dreadful at Cuse. not exactly a good trend.

I'm convinced it's an NFL coach now more now than ever. It will be a great NFL DC who will haul in recruits and get our defense back on track.
