Was it ever confirmed that Craig was recruiting players AWAY from LSU?

And that was the big reason he was let go? Not sure if that was just a rant rumor floating around or if the guy is a legit POS.



Of course, both can be true.

Confirmed by the guys on 247 back in the day. O found out and fired him on the spot.

That's why you see Craig screaming at him after they "won" last year.

He wasn't just recruiting guys away from LSU... he was recruiting specifically TO Jimbo.

He was also the main recruiter for Devonta Smith. Who knows how that process went down.

Regardless...the guy seems pretty unstable and glad we got rid of him. It will be interesting to see how fast he heads to the locker room after we curb stomp them.

I wasn’t too worried about that. He could barely recruit them TO LSU.

I would like to come to Craig's defense in the interest of having a balanced, responsible discussion on these issues.
I have seen plenty of claims that Craig, while on the LSU staff, was steering recruits elsewhere. I have seen no proof of that claim, and suspect it is hard to come by, outside of admissions from the recruits themselves.
HOWEVER, I think that it has been firmly established independently from this issue that Dameyune Craig is a lying POS. The video illustrates this point.

He was telling recruits that he wasn't going to be at LSU and they should look elsewhere.

The reason for this is because when O took over as interim, one of the first things he did was remove most coaching responsibilities from Craig. The guy is an awful on field coach. Lazy and brought nothing to the offensive staff. O should have officially fired him when he took over and it would have caused a lot less issues later down the road.
