Basically we will be waiting for awhile as they are looking at coaches from Pros and he also mentioned some possible candidates coaching tonight for the cfp ship. I'm not opposed to any of this as yes we did miss out on Freeman, but there's still a ton of great coaches still out there.

They better be doing due diligence on other candidates who are not currently involved in the pros and CFB Championship. There are plenty of other qualified candidates right now. At least interview. I’m sure they are and that is just a statement being put out.

O loves him some NFL coaches. Because that means they'll automatically be good college coaches in his tiny little brain.

I cringed a little when he said Austin Thomas was brought in to help Coach O with a lot of the off the field stuff, knowing Verge is in the middle of the off the field stuff

Yes, he said they hired Brady’s guys because they convinced Coach O that they could run Brady’s same offense in 2019. Also noted that O was given a budget on his hires and it could be negotiated.

Translation: We're looking at some recycled has-been who's fixing to be put to pasture by his current NFL team and is looking for an easy paycheck.

After taking a look at the coaching staffs of all the playoff teams, a few names jumped out at me as possible candidates.

Chris Kiffin- Cleveland Browns DL coach and brother of Lane Kiffin. Was a defensive line assistant at USC under Orgeron, DC at FAU under Lane, and pass rush specialist coach for the San Francisco 49ers last year that went to the Super Bowl. Also had stops as a DL coach at Ole Miss under Hugh Freeze, Arkansas State DL coach, Defensive quality control at Nebraska, and intern for John Gruden at Tampa Bay

Karl Dunbar- Pittsburgh Steelers DL coach and former DL coach at LSU. Also coached at Alabama under Saban on their 2017 championship squad

Sam Mills III- Washington FB DL coach. Son of Saints great and leader of the Dome Patrol, Sam Mills. Followed Ron Rivera to Washington after having a role as a defensive assistant in Carolina since 2005.



This is merely speculation on my part that was based on NFL playoff team staffs with assistant coaches that seem to have good enough resumes to warrant a look, connections to LSU, and connections to Ed Orgeron through previous staffs he has worked on.

I am really surprised someone in the department hasn't told Verge to STFU about anything and everything until the Title IX shite blows over. He needs to go sit quietly in a corner and not put his name or voice in the public right now.

Not trying to troll but who do they realistically think they are pulling from Bama or Clemson? I don't think Golding is leaps and bounds better than any other DC not coaching in the championship game. I don't get the infatuation with him other than he is from Louisiana.

Dudes only job is to figure out 2 schools per season to pay $1m to come get stomped, and not let football players get away with raping girls.

Seems pretty fricking simple, but he obviously can’t even handle that.

Maybe he should just work on keeping his mouth shut and enjoy he hasn’t been fired or sued yet.

Verge, implied O’s budget limitations are negotiable. Based on the delay, O’s negotiating for a NFL Coach.
