why did Leonhard drop from DC to Senior Football Analyst?


was interim HC and either didn’t stay or wasn’t retained with new coaching staff.

I thjnj he wasn’t retained given Fickell’s background

Some other names mentioned:

quote:

Other candidates

Phil Parker: The Iowa DC continues to coach some of the best defense in the sport. He’s not going to leave Iowa on his own accord as long as Kirk Ferentz is still there, but if Ferentz retires, Parker’s services could become available. LSU should swoop in.

Justin Wilcox: Wilcox is the head coach at Cal where things haven’t been great the last few years. If he’s fired or the two decide to part ways, it puts one of the sport’s most respected DCs on the market. Wilcox was a DC at Washington from 2012-13 when current LSU AD Scott Woodward was also there.

Gary Patterson: There are plenty of reasons why this probably wouldn’t work and shouldn’t happen, but crazier things have happened.

Tony White: The current Nebraska DC is from the Rocky Long tree and turned the Nebraska defense around in one off-season.

Pete Golding: LSU is familiar with Golding who spent a few years at Alabama before taking the Ole Miss job this fall. He’s done good work with the Rebels defense.

Utah DC Morgan Scalley this year signed a 3 year extension for 1.4M per year. I'm not sure what his buyout (rumored 4.2M) is but its at least 2.8M.

Not sure LSU can pay 2.8M then give him a salary of 2M/yr for 3 years guaranteed. Not to mention LSU given the current situation would not touch him from his racism slur in text message in 2013 where he was suspended from coaching and salary reduced.

It amuses the hell out of me to think people on here believe he would come back to LSU after summery dismissal by BK in the transition…

Dude isn’t getting fired this year. He’ll have at least one more year.

Think we can steal Jon Tenuta or DeWayne Walker away from where ever they are?

This is a name I hadn't heard before. Looks to be an up and comer and sharp guy, but gave up playcalling duties at Tulane the previous 2 years to learn under Lanning and Tosh.


But can he recruit and evaluate talent. THAT’S the most glaring deficiency on defense right now.

Need an elite recruiter at DC and Aranda doesn’t recruit.

Why not steal Brian Van Gorder from Mark Hudspeth at Gulf Shore's High?

Is Arnett safe at MSU. He was a stop gap HC hire after the Pirate passed away.

If State makes a move would be worth considering.
