When I think about getting Fuente as our OC, I feel as if I would be satisfied with the hire but also feel like we could have done better. I'm sure if we got him he could easily prove me wrong once the season starts. What would y'all think if we got him?

He is definitely an upgrade over Crowton, I just think there would be a huge "What if" if we got him, but that could be the case with anyone... Thoughts?



eta: Found this interesting interview with Fuente and Dalton... sorry if Germans

From all reports, Fuente would be the ideal candidate. His offensive philosophy, while very in-line with Miles', is also more aggressive and innovative than what we're accustomed to. He's young, but well credentialed. I'll be very excited if he's the guy.

my biggest concern would be that he has never been OC before, just co-OC. May not be a big deal in the long run but its a concern to me right now.

I think you have to really look at a coach that had a good year with a senior quarterback.

He's been calling plays for the past two years at TCU. He's coached QB's and RB's throughout his career. College football is at a time when new coordinators are starting to assert themselves into big schools. I think he is a great choice.

take it for what its worth from a reader and not a poster. i think a guy with 5 years as OC and WR, drive, and shares our coaches vision would be a great hire.

He is probably about as complete a package LSU can get right now. Proven OC, young and energetic, Texas recruiting, QB coach. What else do you want?

I have concerns about his Co-OC title and how much power he has in the offense. But apparently he has been the guy at TCU. It is also a concern how his system will work in the SEC. Can he adjust to play players strengths and the tough SEC schedule with his lack of experience? I think it is worth the risk, we don't have many near complete candidates right now, IMO.
