I think this has potential to be a home run hire. We definitely overpaid by about $500k though.
It also has potential to be a total disaster.

You won't hear 3rd in Pelini.

ootball dinosaur, not age dinosaur. This is not good. Who else was hiring him? Who else would throw that kind of money at him? Why not bring in an up-and-comer? Just a puzzling hire.
Who else was hiring Joe Brady? I trust Coach O's decision - he's earned that.

Well children, we don’t need a DC in his teens or 20s like most of you. Believe it or not some people are better with age. I don’t know if this is the right hire or not, and have some reasonable concerns like many on here.
But I sure as hell know this. We are mfing undefeated 15-0 SEC and National Champs and we got there by letting Bebe run the show his way. So he has earned my complete trust and confidence for next few years at least, ad should have earned yours too.
So it’s still not your time negatigers.

LOL recruits have been lining up like it’s opening night for years for Saban to Chew them out. This is football...they want to win and they want to reach the next level. Give them that and they don’t care.

Not if you exclude the 3 OT loss to Arkansas in 07’.

$2 million a year?
Hopefully we have some left over
Uhhh, we saved money from what we spent on a DC the last few years.

Pelini feels like a downgrade from Aranda. Plus I hate his yelling style of coaching. Love my Tigers, but we couldn't have found anyone else better for $2 million a year?

You don't know what you're talking about, it's all relative, there's stars at that level, it's just played at their level and as a coordinator you have to deal with their mismatches. Chad Pennington, Joe flacco and Wentz from Philadelphia played in the FCS. You obviously don't watch a lot of football, they are very creative and innovative in the FCS. PJ Fleck was in FCS (now at Minnesota) and look what he did to Auburn in the bowl game.
No, not everything is relative. When you have poor talent, you can't run an efficient offense. And so even without great talent defensively, it's not hard to stop one dimensional offenses.
And the QB's you mentioned? Clearly, they are the exception, not the rule. And how many times did Bo face those guys, if ever?
And I didn't say that Bo would fail. My initial statement was merely that it remains to be seen if he can handle these new offenses. If you can't handle the thought that it is even POSSIBLE that Bo's scheme might not work, to the point that you insult my intelligence just because I am cautiously optimistic, then the problem lies with you.
Try taking yourself less seriously.

COMPLETELY and utterly ridiculous. Spread offenses and RPO offenses LITERALLY grew from FCS ranks and smaller schools in order to negate the OVERWHELMING talent deficit they faced. Small schools knew they couldn’t line up smash mouth with the big boys so they used spread scheme and multi sets to counter their lack of physicality. These offenses have been around FOREVER...you’re just noticing FB because the big boys have adapted now themselves. I remember Hal mumme running multiple sets in Kentucky LING LONG ago when his understudy was a guy they call mike leach. THIS IS NOT NEW...this IS what FCS and smaller schools have turned to for quite some time. Don’t be silly...call it by whatever name you want but the AIR RAID and such schemes have been around for decades. Yes more teams are mixing it with RPO schemes now as a sort of hybri d air raid/option but don’t be so foolish.

I said you didn't know what you were talking about because you think FCS teams can't or don't run spread offenses that are similar to what is run in the SEC. I go to and watch FCS games and they absolutely run spreads. I watch SLC football and Sam Houston State in a 2 year period amassed 15000+ yards with an uptempo spread offense. My point in argument was that, no matter the talent or league ( FBS or FCS) you have to know how to schematically defend it.

Overpaid. Massively.
Posted on 1/27/20 at 11:23 pm to Tigerfinch
Maybe you can make him understand, trying to make him comprehend that no matter , FCS or FBS, defending the spread is the same. There are variances and you may schematically do something a little different but it's all done in the same manner at both levels. Talent differences from FCS to FBS has nothing to do with the way you approach stopping it.

quote:what? do you have some kind of insight on the hire?
Particularly for a guy making about $200k-$300k at the moment. And one that didn't seem to have much significant interest outside of LSU.
He must have been O's first and only choice, leaving LSU with little negotiating leverage.
so many ignorant statements by clueless fans.

It’s the price you pay now to get big time people that are considered among the best. Why would Bo Pelini take this job for less? Why would LSU pay less? If you are good at what you do and you are approached to replace someone that left for another job, you don’t take it unless the money is the same or more than the other person was making, period.

Agreed
This overpaying shite is ridiculous
Would y’all rather we hire someone else who the coach doesn’t really feel sure about and pay less? Then we get to buy that guy out and pay a new coordinator too??
You go pay what it takes to get who you want. Period
I have no problem with it bc it’s who Orgeron wanted.
Support the guy and let him hire who he wants. Don’t make him pick leftovers when we have the money to compete
