Coach O update from the Bussin' With The Boys podcast
Posted on 12/9/25 at 2:45 pm

They interviewed him for roughly 2 hours, here are the highlights related to ongoing events.
On future job prospects:
- Recently moved back to Baton Rouge, in preparation for hopefully getting another job
- Says he doesn't have to work, but wants to
- Lane Kiffin called him to ask his thoughts about the LSU job, but hasn't been in contact about a job on the current staff. O says he gave Kiffin "nothing but rave reviews".
- Says he's fine with being a defensive line coach or recruiting coordinator, but wants it to be at a major school that has the power and recruiting base to compete for a national championship
- Says he respects them but would never coach at Alabama, no matter what
- Doesn't want a head coach to be intimidated by his presence on the staff
- Schools he specifically mentioned he'd be interested in working for:
USC
LSU
Penn State
Ohio State
Florida
Nebraska (a bit tongue in cheek)
- He would also be interested in returning to Tennessee
On Lane Kiffin:
- Lane treated him with the utmost respect, he was like head coach #2 on the staff
- Great, great recruiter, great evaluator
- He's a great offensive mind, he can see all 22 in slow motion and he's going to get you
- Says they have a great relationship, Lane has "always" asked him to go with him and to be on his staff.
- Says Lane was having personal issues while at USC and recommended O to replace him after being fired
On NIL:
- Says it does matter, but if the money is close, all the old recruiting advantages still matter

Maybe, or maybe he just has nothing to do and really wants to coach football like he’s done his entire adult life.
I really don’t know, but these guys are maniacal. He’s probably bored as shite and wants to coach ball. Whether he needs the money or not

and coincidentally decided that the same year the courts gave his ex-wfe half his money and the buyout checks quit coming in.

I just don’t really understand why it matters. Maybe he needs money, maybe he doesn’t, maybe he just wants to coach again. Does it really matter?

not to me, I don't really give a shite
just pointing out why people think he's looking desperate for a gig.

That’s too bad it was tongue in cheek as I’d love Coach O to come up and recruit for NU. We could use the help.
We genuinely love having Louisiana folks come up to Omaha for CWS time and I’m sure we’d be good with having one up in Lincoln for a longer stay.

It amazes me that we have posters on this board that believe LSU can just throw money at kids and that is all there is to recruiting now. You still have to make a connection with a kid as well as a coach needing to evaluate whether or not their talent meets criteria to know if they will be a PITA and not worth paying.

He’s like a whore. Go to the highest bidder. I guess his little blonde bed partner is expensive

Don’t you know that when LSU misses out on a kid it’s only because of the money but when a kid chooses LSU is because he loves the school???

this interview was pretty great - tons of great stories
Posted on 12/9/25 at 8:36 pm to SidewalkTiger
He’s just begging someone to hire him. It’s pathetic. He “doesn’t need to work”. Yeah right, your ex wife took half and you blew the rest on skanks. If anybody wanted him, he would be hired by now. Instead his agent is setting him up with fake interviews like with Tulane and these shows so he can go begging for work.
Did he actually say he doesn’t want the head coach to be intimidated by his presence on staff? This guy lives in a fantasy world. What a total idiot!

Yep! He is doing the same thing that he did several years ago.When he got on baton rouge, radio every week and begged for a job.
I don't live in louisiana, but I think he is an embarrassment, and the reason why he is on these shows because the way he talks and presents himself. .
I think this makes the state look bad and makes him stereotype.All the people from louisiana
