I understand that Coach O and Frank obviously coach different position groups. With that being said, would Coach O being on the staff make up for Frank leaving with regards to recruiting the state? Does Coach O being better at coaching his position also a plus, assuming Kyle doesn't stay? I understand that Coach O is also polarizing on the board.

I think Frank has a ton of value. BUT, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s the only one that could bring that same value.

For example, you bring in TM7 as a safeties coach and New Orleans is officially locked down. Damn near 0% chance any kid leaves that area with him on staff.

I agree. Everybody loves Tyrann. I just brought O up as a known commodity that's interested, the devil you know. Tyrann would be so important for New Orleans, though.

I would employ both of them.

O would probably be more valuable overall, Frank may be better in New Orleans.

I don't hate that. I've always been a big Kyle Williams fan, but there's usually fire where there is smoke (him not wanting to coach in college and go back to be with his kids).

Frank is what is known as an “Unc” in the African American community of the Southeast United States. As good at recruiting as O is, he’ll never be that.

That's fair and I don't consider them 1 for 1 swaps. Personally, I wouldn't be disappointed if they were both involved somehow.

Yep. O has been a nationwide recruiter. Frank has been more south Louisiana but his main focus is New Orleans

Wilson's only value was holding on to Richard Anderson and Lamar Brown in this class. It is time for someone else to get a shot at New Orleans (really, St Aug and Edna Karr = New Orleans, in relation to Frank).

For as good as Frank was as closing, he has been that poor at evaluation. Anyone can peg a Leonard Fournette.

So you may trade in a bit of "closing" for a guy that is better at identifying talent and developing talent.


As far as Ed O, he can stay away too. He will just be a distraction and a sideshow.

All of the modern LSU SEC / National Championships have had major contributors from New Orleans.
