re: LSU hires Garden City CC WR coach Leon Wright as defensive analyst

Im just glad Orgeron is taking advantage of the allowance of analysts and actually hiring people. Unlike Miles who was scared to death to bring in outsiders.

I'm not convinced this was the case, but it damn sure seemed that way. Coupled with the weird aversion to having players around who didn't play for him I think it had to affect us.

Miles seemed to prefer to use those spots for parking a coach who he didn't want to let go of, e.g. Brick Haley. I get the feeling, while not knowing for sure, that such people were not used as part of an overall strategy.

Worth noting that while Orgeron is hiring them, we don't yet know for sure how he will use them and whether or not they will be of any value. But hey, getting them on staff is indeed step 1.

ETA: You need depth in the office just like you need depth on the field too. To be caught with your pants down on Jan 11th as recruiting is in the home stretch sucks. At least if Coach A leaves, there is a QC analyst that can be promoted, even temporarily, to that spot who understands and can speak to a recruit about what we run.
