re: *******Update 6:30***Tidbits on LSU OC search

I guess he doesnt have Skype, FaceTime or any other form of modern communication. Never said it was in person.

Process is like this

Vet candidates
Speak to Agents
If interested, negotiate through Agent
If plausible, phone interviews
If terms are good, final interview is face to face.

This is usually how any major business hires. It's not a one day thing ordeal.

What I am calling a Power spread is similar to what I assume you are calling Veer and Shoot. In the manner of doubling at the POC with a puller either a HB or Guard. Spread the field, strech the field vertically, and then mainly run off tackle down hill.

What you are describing sounds more like the veer and shoot, which is the Briles family jewel. Unlike a lot of the big spread coaches (like Herman), they did not share secrets and tips with other coaches. Art Briles wanted to keep the system as his own, and so only a few guys who worked with him run it.

Most power spread teams, Bama, Houston and OSU this year, for example, tend to focus more on intermediate passing and attacking the edges as much, if not more than, the center in the run game. Think about where and how you saw Hurts running the ball. It was mostly attacking East-West and getting to the edge. Most of his passing also came on short and intermediate throws.

I guess you would say that the veer and shoot is just a hybrid of the air-raid and power spread. The veer and shoot and power spread share more in common that either would with a true spread option offense, like Oregon.

Shut the frick up retard. It doesn't matter if it's our 10th choice, as long as it's a quality OC.

Traylor would be a Home run hire as far as recruiting goes.

Ok. Then were his comments about waiting until after the bowl game bullshite, or is he being forced to alter his original plan because of the recruiting backlash? Or is he still waiting? He's made other comments that haven't lined up, like his conflicting messaging on QB recruiting.

Because this is all last minute bullshite

Canada wasn't even on Os radar until he was mentioned on here. Now hes flying in, 2 days after LK takes a HC. Lincoln Riley was the UH leader until 4 days ago. He was not interviewed by LSU before then. And LSU didn't offer Tua, while they were interviewing other OCs. Recruits were bailing because we appeared rudderless. So theres your timeline.

The move on the OC job didn't start until Sat, because Ed O was WAITING on LK. The binder was all about LK. O was hired based on that guarantee. Everything from that point, has been just grasping at straws

Ed O gets no rope next year. None.

yeah he'd be a terror in east texas

If this has been perceived as a hard sell, its only by our doom and gloom fanbase. We're about to hire a Broyles finalist(hopefully)

There are less sandy vaginas on the Poli Board than there are here.

Some of you people sound like entitled assholes.

Assuming that if you don't know about it, it never happened.

Assuming that when info comes out, it's not true because you didn't already know.

Demanding that things happen on YOUR timeline.

Assuming rumors or hearsay are facts and crying fowl when they don't happen.

Myles Brennan's high school coach Bill Conides tells @wafb Matt Canada would not only be a great fit for #LSU, but for Brennan as the OC.

I'm not demanding anything. However, if our own damn recruits are speaking out publicly over their concerns with the direction of the offense, or not having a clue what is going on, that IS. A. REAL. frickING. PROBLEM.

That isn't message board bullshite. That is bad recruiting press leading into the dead period, where it likely will reverberate in an echo chamber while there is little to no new recruiting news until mid-Jan. That doesn't help us. Unfortunately, a couple of O's decisions have exacerbated this problem. This is not up for debate. It has nothing to do with entitled fans. I want to see O succeed, but right now, recruiting is not. Sticking your head in the sand does not equal support. It equals stupidity.
