Are there any retreads you like?

No. I hope we hire cheap and just put the rest into players. Give the “up and comer” coach 2 years to “ get it done” or he’s shown the door and we just hire the next “up and comer” on the cheap all the while we are pumping all of that money we are saving on coaching into NIL to ensure a solid roster regardless of the coach.

Let’s face it. The days of it being about the team or the coach you play for is pretty much over. It’s all about the money now. I’m not saying the coach isn’t important but not at the same level it used to be, it used to be they had to be better recruiters than they were actual coaches. Well now, it can be solely about their coaching ability. “LSU will get you the players, can you coach them to a championship?”

I agree. Especially since being a good recruiter these days is not as important.

You have a solid argument to make for him. I do think he is a good coach. I think he’s really good at putting players into position to be successful. He just always sucked at recruiting. He’s a bit on the lazy side too. I certainly wouldn’t pay top money for him.
