Of course he does because Pete Carroll told O this was the guy he should get despite canning him himself.

People want to blame the DBs, particularly the CBs for the atrocious pass defense, but in reality, while a huge part of it was the DBs, it was mostly the safeties being out of position time and time again.

Busch was atrocious as a coach this year with the safeties and they were the worst unit on the team. It was clear that Aranda schemed around Bucsh's style, and Pelini did not. It is honestly why I think guys like Busch and Cregg needed to go. You are having to scheme everything around their specific style in order for their units to be good to the potential detriment of the team.

Richard is an awful choice and would prove that O is simply going to continue to hire USC garbage. We are not USC. LSU is actually better than USC in many regards historically the past 25 years and defense is one of them.

In the end, hire someone that fits the scheme choice instead of one of your buddies. We all know O is likely not to do that if he misses out on his top choice.
