I am concerned that he hasn’t built up enough equity as a head coach to consistently hire the best coordinators

I have read that Canada had turned down four other offers to leave Pittsburgh. He then left Pittsburgh for the LSU offer. With what LSU pays coordinators and why they will be hired (the previous coordinator becoming a head coach) I think they will jump at the opportunity.

Do the kids, their coaches, and their parents trust Ed enough to send their NFL hopefuls to play under him for 4 years.

Last class within a couple days and on signing day, Eaux signed at least four guys - Phillips, Chaisson, Taylor, Harris - three have started and the other - Harris has played quite a bit and may be the best player of the whole class when all said and done. Three of the four were from out-of-state. Not bad for a guy on the job for less than three months.

Does he have the reputation to convince a hot commodity to choose us over Alabama, Ohio State, Texas, Michigan and other schools who are not going to get outbid and whose coaches have had much more success to point to as a head coach.

Are the other schools going to give them the autonomy to run it as they see fit? It's not like very many schools will outbid LSU for coordinators.
