What's with the obsession with Cory Raymond? I don't get it.

If Cory Raymond is so great, why hasn't another school hired him already? If he's so great, why did Florida also fire him?

Very telling that he’s not been announced… tells me either Baker wanted to be involved or more likely he isn’t a candidate. Or maybe they’re sandbagging the announcement

Sandbagging announcement. He was never truly happy at Florida and it showed with the production of their CB’s.

Why not?
Haven't you seen the stars that he recruited and coached?

Get absolutely torched. People like Moscona will parrot how elite he is and how those bad secondaries weren't his fault. The numbers say otherwise and we can do better.

How many nfl players has bo Davis put in until league the last 3 years?

What did utsa fire Frank Wilson? Does that mean he can’t recruit LA?
Why didn’t Kelly retain Blake baker when hired? Does that disqualify him as a good coach?

And here it is! CR is not happy and therefore doesn't perform well at his job. But, he surely cashed those checks when he was at Florida.
This is NOT our guy...

He has nfl jobs on the table he’s trying to see what lsu is going to do
Posted on 1/14/24 at 8:02 am to Sleepy_Tiger
He benefited from Ron Cooper wave of DBU just like Les Miles benefited from Nick Saban. DBU was already established when he got here so like a previous poster says if he was so good he would have a job by now.

Lester always coming in with idiotic takes

Raymond got lazy and entitled. That’s a bad combination for any job not just football
Posted on 1/14/24 at 8:55 am to Sleepy_Tiger
People get on here and just say any then we hire Corey and magical you will say he's the best db coach
Posted on 1/14/24 at 9:10 am to Sleepy_Tiger
I think much of the Raymond talk is based on the obvious emphasis on Louisiana with the other defensive hires: Bo played at LSU, Baker played at Tulane and coached at LSU and LaTech and the DE coached at Tulane.
I would’ve expected Raymond to have signed on with someone by now, if not LSU, another in-state school even a ULM or Nicholls. Pretty clear he believes he’s going to get another SEC gig?

Not a coach I’d like to have on the staff then. He wasn’t happy so he didn’t do his job. Deserved to be fired.

Maybe you should read any of the other 100 threads parroting the same dumb question. If you did, you'd know that Raymond apparently has been offered other jobs. By all accounts, he wants to be at LSU. There are few DB coaches in the country with his resume. You'd have to be pretty stupid to think many teams wouldn't love to have him.

This is the beauty of the rant. We love to shite on Napier for being a bad coach but somehow we trust his judgment on Raymond. Maybe Raymond was unhappy with the downward slide in Gainsville and was butting heads b/c of it. Maybe Raymond wanted out and they fired him so they could pursue his replacement. Maybe Raymond was the scapegoat b/c they also fired their DC. The truth is, none of us know the real answer.
But here's a thought... From 2022 to 2023, Florida's record got worse. Napier is an offensive coach; his offense got worse. The defense improved from 2022 to 2023. After 2022, they gave Corey Raymond more responsibly as he went from coaching only CBs to all DBs in 2023. The passing defense and total defense got better and Napier still scapegoated the defense. So maybe just maybe, CR is a good coach and we should trust the opinion of BK over Napier. If BK hired Raymond, I think it would be a great hire. If he hires someone just as good or better, I'll still be happy. But please for the love of God, stop making dumb threads.
