Well, he got fired from ESPN for showing co-workers pictures of his dick. Then he tried suing Deadspin for reporting the story, claiming it was untrue. Then he admitted he did show co-workers pictures of his dick. Then he locked himself in his apartment for a couple of years and suffered from depression. Then he tried pursuing more media hosting gigs which he couldn't keep.

Basically, he's been too busy to coach.

Yeah. I'm really not sure why people are excited about this. I hope he's only coming in as an analyst. That's what Orgeron wanted hire him for last year but he had some kind of conflict (I assume due to his private coaching).

Why do people assume he's going to be a great QB coach or some innovative offensive/passing game coordinator?

I think they get too caught up in him being a former NFL QB. Nevermind that current recruits weren't even born when he last played. They might've been in kindergarten when he was berating John Clayton and saying "like shooting fish in a barrel" on ESPN.

Okay, he's been an instructor, but never held an actual coaching position before. There's really no frame of relevant experience for him to get a job at LSU now, other than he used to play two decades ago.

I'm not even saying he would definitely be a bad hire, but frankly, it would be even more of a head-scratcher than Ensminger. At least E was on staff, recruited, and had called plays before.
