re: SVP once said LA Recruits go thru Wilson

You don't retain a coach for what is essentially blackmail when he provides zero on field benefit

But he still provides beneficial results off the field, so you don't tell a recruiter who can wreck the top of your class annually to take a hike either, likely for another SEC foe.

LSU was A-okay without frank wilson.

Sure, but Frank, as a RB coach, is not worthless, despite the recent lack of production from the RBs during Kelly's tenure. Wilson developed Fournette, Hill, Ridley, Ware, Blue, Guice and Hilliard in his first stint. I think most of us can agree Kelly's O-Lines were mediocre, at best, to putrid.

So if Kiffin can fix the OL development, I think Wilson as RB coach would be competent enough and still provide his mysterious recruiting magic for the Tigers, and not for a rival.

That’s the absurdity of it.

The absurdity is Lamar Brown would've signed with A&M if it wasn't for Frank Wilson. Brown and Anderson committed to LSU because of Frank Wilson, so say what you want about him, but the Louisiana kids fricking love him.
