This CANNOT be true. Now, it may all work out like you cats are saying - I'm not denying that - but it is NOT a done deal. A million things can happen to kibosh the whole thing. These coaches are under contract to their respective institutions, including provisions about notice, discussions of other jobs, their various buyout arrangements - and a lot of that is subject to assumptions about final negotiations.

Frank and O staying with raises.

This is the part that makes a little bit of sense in all this. Part of it is that we want to believe. Wilson's value to any school is tied to whether or not that school is attractive to New Orleans/South Louisiana kids. It makes perfect sense to keep him home and in the state's flagship. If a new head coach is an offensive guru, then Frank gets the title he wants - OC. O can be promoted to recruiting coordinator/associate head coach, which his experience certainly warrants. Boom is kind of damaged goods because of Florida - although a lateral move, he may see possibilities at LSU - I mean, he is at his 3rd stop in Auburn, something keeps pulling him back there.


But, all of this remains speculation until the big pieces move, honestly. We always hear about these complex coaching staff changes, but 1 little piece collapses everything like a Jenga tower.
