TBob and Jordy had Rece Davis on this morning. Of course he said he thinks Ed O can be successful (like he gonna say other wise) but he also said assistants can’t be more importaant than the HC, which basically repudiates the main argument made by people like Jordy and TBob to hire O in the first place, though that wasn’t his intention.

He also said how Saban was making his staff younger, he’s looking ahead and wanted fresh ideas on his staff. Meanwhile we’re hiring a 60 yo that hasn’t been an OC in 20 years and 73 yo WR coach and another retiree as ST coach

I do think it’s pretty funny that Saban doesn’t win he national title in recruiting and immediately make changes on his staff to make them younger and we made changes To get older.

Same conference. Same division. One is the greatest coach of all time. One is the worst coach in Ole Miss’s history.

I wonder who’s strategy is gonna work....

Rece is a bama grad and a bama homer.
Of course he wants O to keep his job. It makes it so much easier for Saban to keep winning.

frick Rece Davis man.

I remember when we fired Miles, he was pissed on GameDay.

He said something along the lines of "LSU who do you think you are going to hire? You aren't a blueblood and have always been in the top 15 to 20. Be happy with that because history says you can't do better."

What a slapdick. So we can't try to get better because "we have to know our place" and we "aren't one of the big boys?" So fricking stupid.

The idea that O could basically be a figurehead and you could surround him with great assistants was just so retarded to begin with.

People point to JoPa and Bobby Bowden as evidence but both of those guys WERE good at some point. Part of being a good HC is hiring good assistants, so they made it work because they knew who to surround themselves with. That system doesn't work if you have a HC that wasn't good in the first place and doesn't know who to surround himself with.

Bama s OC is 50 & burton burns is almost 70. I don’t really think the age of our staff is abnormally old

Jerry Sullivan has the energy of a 40 year old & is sharp as a tac

This is all complete horse shite! You hire coaches who can coach regardless of their age!! This has nothing to do with Saban wanting to hire young assistants. Screw Rece Davis and all you haters that continue to want to turn over rocks for any little bit of negativity that you fools can come up with

Comparing Alabama and Saban to us or any other program in the country is ridiculous to start with. We are one season into Coach O and y'all continue to jump off buildings at an alarming rate. Enjoy the process either good or bad because the bottom line is none of you NegiTigers have a say in it.

I've been at this place for a pretty good while now. I can't remember a time when the mention of a head coach having good year whips so many chicken littles into a frenzy. It is truly amazing where this fanbase has gone.

By any logical reasoning, it's absolutely insane what LSU is doing to its football program. The only people who seek to justify it are O blind supporters.

I bet Rece was biting his tongue real hard not to laugh saying Ed O is a good coach.

The bowl game FG truly destroyed any confidence I had. I have never seen a bigger bitch scared move than that.

This is bullshite right here. Saban's staff is always young because guys want his name on their resumes. Then they take off whenever they can. At least they mostly springboard their success at Alabama to better jobs. Experienced guys don't want to deal with his shite or at least not for long. Burton Burns was the only member of his staff to be there for the 5 championships. He has had 4 OCs in just over a year. He has tremendous turnover every season. He doesn't want fresh ideas. He has no choice!

Of course Rece is a Bama alum who regularly laughed at our former coach.
As for the age of the assistants that’s a lot of horse crap.

I agree with this a million times over. Not going to lie, I do like that we have a legit WR coach to coach our guys now, but I still hate and don't understand the Ensminger hire.

Why in the hell are we even attempting to run a NFL offense when we can barely even pass to begin with? Why didn't they just go with a spread guy and run a legit college offense that is tried and true and has been the only thing to beat Bama since 2012?

You want real fresh ideas? Hire a few 10 year olds.
