Which? Burns here? I could believe that. Burns actually under Wilson, when he in fact was franks mentor? Could definately see that.

Not frank as HC I hope? He would be the perfect fit here.

If Frank does get a call, and LSU were to let him go, I would flip shite. Won't happen, but still.


Frank Wilson isn't going anywhere...he says he is close to home (N.O.) and at the job that he always wanted. i would truly be surprised if he went to Bama but I have seen stranger things happen.

I don't doubt that's true and I wouldn't see him leaving either, but I could see our AD letting him go if he went for a raise. Frank is worth every damned penny spent on him.

Les would pitch a bitxh!!! he knows how valuable Frank is to this team...AD hands are tied...either keep frank or watch LSU become a second rate citizen in the SEC unless you can bring in another Louisiana recruiter juggernaut!!!

If Frank leaves our recruiting might be affected with two or three guys that first year, after that, nothing. LSU recruits well because it's LSU and has a great staff. It's not because of one guy.

Frank is a big part of that great staff. Other than Les, he's by a mile the biggest component of the recruiting equation. They wont let him leave. Nothing to see here.

For Fournette specifically, it just makes his recruitment a near formality. I think we're gonna land him pretty easy anyway but this would all but cinch it.

It would help if he left because Bama has much more pull on our kids than FSU. FSU may steal 1 or 2 whereas Bama could still double that and be a much more constant presence.

Frank is already getting a big raise. LINK I don't see him leaving, period.

bullshite

Go back and look at the talent from NOLA that left the state prior to Wilson coming to LSU. Wilson is more important to LSU than Miles and I say that without batting an eye.
