What’s the feeling on the net effect of all of the defensive hires?

It seems like it’s going in a great direction. But I’m an optimist when it comes to LSU football.

Inexperienced but intelligent DC
Great position coaches all around him
Net very positive

Wait and see for me. But i like that they are young energetic guys. It's crazy that our LB coach has more DC experience than our DC though.

Much better than last year

More than anything, there seemed to be a COMPLETE disconnect between the coaches and players on defense last year. Either the players weren't absorbing the coaching and/or didn't trust the staff. Or, whatever the staff was teaching them simply wasn't getting through. It's been quite a while since we've seen an LSU defense so completely lost.
That being the case, I think the first quality O looked for were guys who could earn the trust of the players and make sure the players understood what they are being asked to do. Simply knowing their assignments would have made a HUGE difference last year.
IMO, NOTHING about the new hires are terribly exciting or give a ton of confidence on face value. But it is unfair to say the hires are "terrible" before the new staff even coaches a game.

I expect a steep learning curve, mistakes and missed assignments early on, but the players will be in shape and motivated and get better as the season progresses.

I like surrounding the inexperience with the experience. Let's just hope they all gel really well. LFG! Excited to see the on field results.

huge home run hires on both offense and defense, but will need time to gel. In general great hires but will take time to build the player personnel up as well to where we need to be. Shows how much top young up and coming coaches want to be a part of LSU and the Orgeron coaching tree and recruiting should really be bolstered as well. Love the positivity that is coming out of this and the continued upward progression of the program.

That our defense was lacking the intimidation factor and they played lazy?

Having defensive coaches on staff is always a good thing

There was no direction to go but up from a coaching standpoint. Our D will be improved next year

Seems net positive to me. I wasn't super enthused about the DC hire but it made some sense with the available options. Overall, the hires are good enough to set the D on the right path is my hope.

Ask this after the 2021 season.

Thumbs up to the new hires.

If it works, great.
If not, it’s the perfect set of one-year placeholders until O and the whole staff get fired in December 2021.

We love em until we hate em...I hope they all knock it out the park.

anyone who doesn’t think we’re stacked with coaching talent on both sides of the ball, is...not to be rude...dumb. We’re elite.
next two years will be fun!

I'm happy that we're trying to find up-and-comming types. The downside of that is that it's always a risk. So the net effect is wait and see.
