re: Can we get clarity on the OC situation

I tend to agree along those lines as well. I strongly suspect that the delay is created by giving Canada time to find another landing spot and maybe even, with LSU's help to make the whole thing more acceptable to all parties.

I think that they, both Canada and Orgeron, were hoping he would get another job. I don't think there ever was an intention to fire him. Now that he hasn't found another job, things have changed. I wouldn't be surprised to see Canada stick around for 2018.

I agree with this. There was an expectation on Canada and O's part that he would be able to find a landing spot. After no bites Canada says this before the bowl game:

When asked directly if he wants to be with LSU next season, Canada said, "I'd love to be here next year."

And this:

quote:

---

Canada said he has not talked with anyone at LSU about his future and insisted his focus is on the bowl game.

"I haven't," Canada said when asked about his future. "Right now, it's about the bowl game. I'm working hard. I've set up a plan. And I say I, I mean we as an offensive staff set up a great game plan.

When looking at the situation and financial implications I wouldn't be at all surprised if Alleva sits these two down and tell them to work it out.

I remember Les was fired before he wasn't and then fired again. Never say never.
