LSU needs a complete dynamic and organization shift for football

Like it not, the reality of college football is paid players with annual free agency. The old models will not work. Less will be spent on facilities and coaches and more will be spent on players. Think minor league baseball, D League, or NFL jr.

LSU needs a football general manager who hires the coaches and has final say on taking players and how much they are paid.

That GM needs to have a vision and build a staff and players around it. Basically a very hands on Football AD.

They need to know how to evaluate and motivate coaches and players and build the support structure for success. I think Nick Saban may be that guy.
