We need to quit spending 50 million dollars for Head coaches and keep a great well respected Louisiana coach and spend money to get him the best assistant coaches money can buy! Keep Austin Thomas and Sam Pettito and hire 2 new Coordinator’s and a really good Oline and linebackers coach and that will be a hell of a lot less money.

We have the dumbest fan base and I don’t think it is particularly close either.

This is a terrible idea. It’s basically the Coach O plan.

You can probably hire the best coaches as coordinators to start. But if they are “the best” then they are gone soon. So you are constantly having to try and find “the best.” Then if something goes wrong the head coach isn’t in a position to fix it because he only relied on his coordinators.

Why? I don't like that model. You are constantly turning over both sides of the ball. Would prefer you spend and have a coach that tends to always excel on one side of the ball.

Retweet. The average LSU fan is a little too confident sharing their opinion.

We don’t necessarily need a Louisiana person, we just need someone that embraces Louisiana. Geaux Tigers, hope we hire the best coach of my lifetime.

Let's go 3-8 so we can save money but generate a whole lot less revenue.

Which side of the ball did Kelly excel at?

And his abysmal HC record. LSU needs a youngish guy who is versatile in the modern game. Lends me to believe Ausberry is staying on as AD or Asst AD and the new HC is already hired and will be AD as well. Interim AD's usually don't hang around to make long term coaching decisions.

Anyone, and I mean, ANYONE that thinks that Frank is anything other than an excellent person, recruiter, and an above average position coach is a complete and utter fricking IDIOT!

He MAY bring energy to the team during the transition. We do have talent on this team. Do NOT for the love of god confuse this with success.

STOP, just STOP!

Do you enjoy going to the Music City Bowl. That is what you would get by keeping Wilson.

I would normally disagree. But that dumb arse Governor has potentially fricked up the whole process and candidate pool. Hire Wilson if no good candidates are interested. To basically run the clock out until Landry is gone because you know he will be meddling the entire time. At least I think we would have a fighting chance because Wilson loves LSU and Louisiana and he would likely be able to navigate the bullshite better than a outsider.

And yet most of the board thinks this is a good idea. It's essentially a DEI hiring strategy.

1. Don’t care how much money we spend, it’s not mine
2. Don’t wanna hear the OP complain when our football program takes even a deeper nose dive.
