I knew Daryl from his days at Nicholls State and let me tell you that he was the best thing for Nicholls State football. He was taking that program to places they have not seen in a long time and have not seen since. They have never been the same other than a few good runs with Thomas. Keep in mind that Thomas was playing with Daye's players.

This IMO would be a hit hire. Very very personable guy no doubt about it. LSU guy through and through. His Nicholls State office was full of LSU gear

Sounds like a decent hire if it happens

Daryl and Jay Thomas have been strongly linked professionally for many years. When you say "Daryl's players" you are really saying "Daryl & Jay's players" as they were inseparable for years.
Daryl & Jay did good jobs at Nicholls. Especially considering the adverse conditions in which they worked: almost no budget, program was in shambles when they arrived, very difficult to deal with the President of NSU, previous lack of support for the football program, etc. They did an amazing job of turning it around and developing more fan base. If Daryl doesn't get the LSU job you can bet he will be at Northwestern State with Jay. if they can find enough salary for him.
After being fired at nicholls, Daryl worked for TAF and was significantly involved in enlarging the donor base. He is the real deal in whatever position he is in.
