He's an underwhelming hire. Give him a chance? What choice do LSU fans have? It's a good thing Baker will be coming on board to be the real DC. It's the smart move.

Is there a “white coaching fraternity”? Not being a smart arse but was not aware of the black one either?

Q Dog? Makes sense. No it doesn't. The only thing that makes sense is hiring Baker to oversee Jones and make the calls on D. It's a smart move.

If Baker does indeed come over as the LB coach, it would be much better than kelvin Sheppard would have been.

That doesn't make sense at all...if O wanted Baker to make the calls, why wouldn't he just hire Baker?

The reason it's super annoying is that the color of ones skin has absolutely no relevance to having the skills needed to be proficient in ones job.

Nobody should ever get hired strictly on whatever your skin color is, hire the person you think will do the best at the job who has the qualification proving they have done a good job in that position before.

Why is it we are giving anybody preferential treatment strictly based on skin color?? That right there is actually a real example of racism that meets the definition of the word.

This is the stupidest thing you’ve said in this whole thread. You’re a video game GM. You know nothing & you thinking Coach O is bringing in Baker to be the “real DC” over Jones proves that

"It's not that he's black. It's that it's being trumpeted around like it means something. Means nothing to me. Results however do. His don't look very good to date"

You clearly made it an issue and it clearly perturbs you. Ever notice how racist always say racism doesn't exist and that something isn't racist? I wished they'd just own it. Kinda like you

I don't know for a fact that Orgeron or the actual coaching staff is doing that, but everybody on here keeps restarting that we are targeting black coaches specifically.

How about we just target good coaches specifically and not let whatever race they are have anything to do with who we choose. Black, Yellow, Brown, White, who cares, if you can coach, you can coach. The only way anything like that could be an issue is possibly a gay or transgender coach. That just doesn't go over well in the world of mens football.

"white coaching fraternity"

Well the majority of D1 scholarship football players are black and only around 15% of head coaches are black, I'd say coaches football coaches are a white frat but they don't need to call it that. How's that for an answer David? You decided to run for Congress again or are you still just running the KKK? And no you're not being a smart arse you're being a dumb arse showing his true colors.

How about we are the fricking fans and we aren't targeting anyone?

As far as what was made public, 4 coaches were interviewed for DC, 2 black and 2 white.

If LSU is "targeting" only black coaches, they are pretty shitty at it.

".... It's a smart move"? Why, exactly? Since the hate for Coach O over rides any rational discussion about LSU football, take him out of this discussion. Coach Zimmer with the Vikings has bragged on Coach Jones' capabilities, claiming this is a loss for the team. Is it safe to say it is a "fact" that an NFL HC knows more than you? Coach Arranda spoke for him. Who knows more, factually, Coach Arranda or you? It's ok to give opinions, but to try & sell your opinions as fact, because you say so......??

It's the people on this board stating that LSU is targeting only black coaches that gave me the perception there was something to it.

Whether there is actually any truth about that I don't know, but it would be disappointing if it was true. It would just be another organization caving to liberal pressure and propaganda. It would be nice to see some organizations\businesses\schools start pushing back on all this crap, because it's complete and total BS.

Well, I just provided you with facts that it's not true. They LITERALLY offered the job to a white guy.

So when I was all in for Freeman and wanted him to be DC what was that. Get out of here with the racism crap. That doesn't work anymore except for the mental retards who call people that whenever they don't get an answer they like.

Hearing Co coordinator. He's certainly more qualified than Jones. Jones is a fugazzi.
