A lot of threads I've read are high on P.J Fleck, but some of us are not convinced he can make the huge jump from Western Michigan to LSU. I agree to that to an extent. However, what if we hired him as an offensive coordinator before handing him the reigns of the program? I know this all would come down to if the new head coach or coach O wanting him for that position, but having him as an OC first would give us an idea of if he is capable of handling this type of program. Same idea goes towards the likes of Major Applewhite, and any other coach that is on our list. I realize Herman would never demote himself to be an OC again, I'm referring to the coaches on our list that are HC at mid-major schools like Fleck.

He's never been an OC...why start after he's had a HC gig and generating buzz?

No. Please stop. This is ridiculous.

You might be able to do this with Applewhite, but this will not happen with Fleck. Fleck is already a head coach, and he knows that he has opportunities ahead at bigger programs.

Why would he take a demotion on the possibility that he might be LSU's coach at some undetermined point in the future?

He's 9-0. Someone bigger than Western Michigan will offer him for next year.

I'm mostly trying to ease the minds of his critics. IMO though, being an HC at a mid-major and being an OC at a top 10 program in the country is a lateral move rather than a demotion.

You have no clue of what a lateral move is then.

You may be right, but if you were offered HC at Purdue or someone in that realm/caliber or take an OC job at LSU, what would you pick?

I guess I'm different. I'd rather have wins and rings as LSU's OC than a little more money and full control over a .500 team; give or take a win.

The guy's undefeated so far this year. Why in the hell would he step down to an OC job?
