Might have to consider Peoples who's a great coach anyway.

Curious how they fill that last slot if so.

I'm only speculating. He's not getting paid that much at Florida. They'd have to give him a big raise to bring him over. I would guess they at least doubled his salary and he still turned LSU down. Some coaches are not going to find it attractive they have to take a step down to only coach DTs.

The Bridge was burned down far too many times for any consideration - even as a water boy . . .

CEO is considered one the best DL coaches ever. That's not me. That's everyone else in the coaching business who says that.

Lol what? This isn't true at all. He's a good recruiter (or was one, at least), no question. And his Louisiana ties made his recruiting prowess especially valuable to out-of-state programs (Miami, USC). But he's really never been viewed as anything much more than average as an actual coach and developer.


For one thing, his brand of go-go-go recruiting is much less valuable in the NIL era, where sheer stamina in relationship-building and -maintenance is no longer enough to get signatures. And for two, we're already operating at more-or-less max capacity with respect to our in-state recruiting: The kids we lose are pretty much always money-centric losses or kids who were looking to leave the state all along. O doesn't do much to help with either of those categories. And if he's not bringing a ton of recruiting value then he's not bringing much value in general - and certainly not enough to justify the circus that would unquestionably result.

Lonn was full of shite. He just throws darts at the wall and hopes 1 or 2 stick.

He's on X right now saying Davis is not coming anymore

Kelly will not allow Orgeron back in the program and he should not!!!!
