The question is can Kiffin succeed without a heavy-handed HC keeping him in check.




My sauce says he's on drugs.

I don't want Kiffin but he's coming here. You know O had to have said in his interview that he already talked to Lane and he's on board.

I would not mind Kiffin because he runs a mixed offense but it sure is pretty when it is clicking.

However, I always liked Sterlin Gilbert who should be available since he was working under Strong. What he did to TX offense and his previous work was incredible at Tulsa and Bowling Green. He also has major ties in TX as he is from there and can recruit TX for us.

Then, either Briles or Helfrich

In order:

Gilbert
Kiffin
Helfrich
Briles

Anyone of these LSU finally has an offense, and couple that with Aranda at DC, all teams should be worried including Saban.

Other things O must do to clean house and make the staff better. He will get maybe $3.5M where LSU was going to pay Fisher or Herman $6.5-7.5M so lets say $7M. That frees 2.5M just to pay the coaches who did not want to come here plus Aranda's $1.2M and Cam's or OC $1.2 = $2.4. $7M + $2.4M = $9.4M which would have cost just for the Head Coach and the OC and DC.

So now the difference is $6M from our head coach and 2 main coordinators who make $0. So to keep Aranda who makes $1.2M and did a wonderful job this year, now we need to go up $500K to $1.7M and bring in Kiffin let's say for $1.5M = $3.2M (that leaves $2.8M more money left) to give more to the OC and DC (800K) to where they each get $2M per year- WOW!!! That further leaves $2M to give a few 100-200K raises to some of the other coaches or entice great coaches to join the LSU Staff.

By getting Coach O for $3.5M that frees up a lot of Salary Cap room if you will to make the whole staff much better and like O said " I will get have the best coaching staff in all of college football"

Fire Peveto- Done
Fire OL coach-
Fire Moffit- We are weak, need a young buck like Bama's coach and give him a 100K raise to $610K

Keep Corey Raymond- Secondary Coach and raise from 375K to 500K- Be Happy!!

Keep D. Craig- WR and raise from 550K-700K & recruiting coord. Get those Mobile and Bama recruits to LSU

Keep Ensminger in a non coaching role, or TE coach only if new OC wants to keep him (Since he did a great job with our offense) Can I say Co-OC position...lol just joking

As for RB Coach Jaluke- That is up to the new OC

Strength Coach- We are weak, need a young buck like Bama's coach (Cochran) and give him a 100K raise to $610K

Hire Kevin Mawae- He can do it!! Don't tell me he has no experience coaching. He is an NFL great and wants the job!!

Special Teams- Go get Joe Robinson who was at LSU in 2010 and was named ST Coord of the year. Or, go get the best, Sean Snyder at Kansas State
