Why is there more emphasis on the head coach search than the AD? The AD (whoever it is) is going to have to support the HC so it's better he brings in his own guy.

Last time an SEC program hired a football head coach without an AD in place, they got Chad Morris

Good luck LSU

AD position is required to be posted for 45 days + interviews.

So you want to wait 2 months before we START a coaching search? Y'all some special ones

That's just insane. Is that an LSU requirement or NCAA?

It’s to keep the queers and the coloreds from crying foul

It's either LSU or state law, likely state law due to nature of position.

Well shite! Head coach first it is. It's going to make it harder to find a good candidate as HC unless he knows he has the support of the AD.

Wrong. AD is an unclassified position. Only classified positions have to be posted with the state.

Because the people running lsu weren’t going to entrust the football head coach hire to a new guy

I’d rather see them go all out for the best coordinators than even the best head coach. More bang for you buck, unless your head coach basically doubles as a coordinator like Kiffen or Saban

Because we are rudderless.

And the Governor is over reaching the likes we have never seen in college football.

From what Blake said on AYS there's a lotta red tape filling the AD position.. has to be posted publicly for 30 days, etc. Its gonna take a while.. legally speaking, to fill

Then what are the Search Committees for? No Agent or Coach is going to trust a permanent coaching hire to an Interim Athletic Director. You wait the the month and a half due all the diligence required to secure a competent individual to conduct the follow on of the Search Committee
