That’s all well and good. Frank is a good coach. But people are acting like if Lane lets him go, it’ll be catastrophic. It won’t be. Every national champion in history was won without Frank. That doesn’t mean he’s bad at his job it’s just pointing out that he isn’t the end all be all of our success.

This may come as a shock to you, but if don’t think it’ll be catastrophic or the key to success, I’m NOT TALKING TO YOU.

Just make them officially both co-running back coachs, but keep Frank Wilson for primarily recruiting in person.


The staff can only be ten coaches (plus analysts).

In short, there isn’t room for both of them “on staff.”

How in the world did LSU ever survive without Frank Wilson on staff?

Nick Saban, Les Miles and Ed Orgeron?

One is the best coach of all time. The other two were top tier recruiters.

I mean, that makes sense to me.


News flash…none of them are still there.


Kiffin may be great in that capacity. My take, however, is why take that chance. Recruiting is the one thing that we know Wilson does very well.

Just my .02.

the solution to not losing the recruiting edge that Frank has developed is to hire Honey Badger as the ST coach and let him inject more life into that group and the entire team, while also being the new recruiter for SLA, which no hs coach is going to turn away. Frank has done his job and made a lot of money doing it. Time to move on, if we have enough foresight to replace him with HB, who wants on the staff really bad, and we need really badly imo

Not sure if it was all Frank but waiting till November to notice Harlem Berry is the best back wasn’t great.


Might have taken Berry that long to pick up blocking assignments. Doubt he blocked much in high school. He was the only duv1 guy on the team and was too busy scoring on long runs.

Frank has an offer from LSU in hand, but it is not as running back coach
then he's pointless. His strength is in off-campus recruiting. If he isn't an on-field coach, he can't off-campus recruiter.
And Lane isn't having his experienced buddy Kevin Smith be an analyst
