Frank Wilson!

For multiple reasons,

1. Money. He will be cheap. He will cost LSU a quarter of a Kiffin, Lanning, etc. He’ll keep majority of staff. LSU has lots of money but can’t afford the best coaches while also paying buyouts, other coaches, etc

2. Race. You may disagree but it will certainly play a role. Verge Ausberry would love to hire the first black head coach in LSU history

3. Pressure from alumni. All those former players there this week will have Wilson’s back(especially Ryan Clark..eye roll)

4. He fits the “criteria” for LSU head coach, from LA, loves LSU, great recruiter, etc. The only knock is his HC record but we’ve seen LSU hire a HC with a losing record(Ed Orgeron)

This feels an awful like 2016 and the debacle with Les being fired, Alleva getting played and having to settle

Don’t get me wrong, I think that would be a mistake but it feels a lot like 2016

Glad they don’t use this philosophy when hiring airline pilots.

You said a lot of things that were correct, but Frank as just the RB coach doesn’t have enough great backs. There is not one hammer that breaks tackles.
We always complain bout the rotation with Frank. Frank has to recruit and close most big fish in the state. I just don’t see him being a head coach. To much on his plate now that he needs to do better at.

Only way he even gets a serious interview is if we win out.

Some coaches are better as coordinators or position coaches. He may be one of those. However, I was throughly impressed with his press conference the other day.

My point exactly. He’s a great recruiter so he will sell himself to Ausberry and Ausberry will eat it up!

They’ll say he was their first choice all along.

I will have arguments for anyone even the inexperienced guys. Advocating for frank Wilson is flat out goin too far the man didn’t even have a winning at fricking UTSA can we think logically for a second man

For multiple reasons,


If Frank wins out, makes the playoffs, and wins the natty then he has that chance.

The other possibility is that LSU screws up the AD and HC search so bad that nobody wants it and they have to extend Frank

I dont think the good ol boys are going to let that happen. And Frank may want no part of that.

Just go to another SEC school for 1.5 a year and take all of LAs talent.
