Look, we can’t just keep jumping the gun. Have to distinguish between targeting and having discussions vs actually finalized…

Something to note, I believe Lucas got a recent pay bump from roughly $575,000 to $775,000. Kyle Williams contract was has a three-year contract starting at $700,000 in 2025, escalating to $775,000 in 2026, and $850,000 in 2027. Peoples made $700,000. So we either give Lucas a significant bump or hope he leaves USCe knowing Beamer is on the hot seat…

Numerous sources Friday morning tell FootballScoop that Lucas is being targeted by the Tigers to join the staff of heralded defensive coordinator Blake Baker. No deal has been finalized but discussions were ongoing.

South Carolina won’t out bid us if we want him. It’s not about money.

Only if Lucus brings the Stewart kid with him do I want him. I don't know anything about him? Can he coach the interior DL?

For goodness sakes when is the DL coach soap opera going to end! Trying to hire a decent DL coach is harder than hiring an elite head coach apparently.

Just because you dont know him doesn’t mean he’s automatically underwhelming. The guy is a top notch DL coach and a great recruiter. All you need to know

Gotta remember Lucas is a South Carolina native as well. He’s home. Also has I believe 2 young kids.

That’s why I added I hope he leaves knowing Beamer is on the hot seat. Let’s see if he gambles and sticks with the home-team though…

Yes, we've known that. SC is already searching for a replacement though and it was never reported as "final"

Lane was reposting stuff about him though

The most important part about this is that Shane Beamer is all but gone. They just didn’t want to be in this carousel.

If he’s smart, he takes the gig here.

So because you don't know anything about him, you don't want LSU to hire him? Is that what you are saying?

Yes Lane retweeted that so I’d say it’s done

What do you think is more likely:

Coaches just want to be in a state they were born in?

Or

Coaches want to be where they can advance their careers and earn as big of paycheck as they can?

They only say they always wanted to be back home when that college outbids others. When they say it’s not about the money… it is about the money.

Lucas will be looking for a job after next season anyway. No need to carry Beamer's dead weight around for the inevitable.

Do you know how dumb that sounds? You don’t want him but don’t know anything about him?
