I never followed this guy much. Heard him on the radio from time to time. Today I noticed how quick he replied to a comment on Orgeron’s Twitter post, to a follower. It got me thinking...

What is his background in football?

What are his roles as a special assistant to Ed Orgeron?
Does he get the red bulls, lunch, print the copies, post on social media?

I’m just confused as to what speciality he brings to a college football team or why exactly did Orgeron hire him.

TIA If I’m lucky Derek might answer this himself

He’s a gopher. This board gets entirely too triggered by him.

There’s a felony conviction on it.

That’s why he was hired?

Why would anyone on the coaching staff want to russle the fan base?

He’s a convicted felon that should have nothing to do with the football program. He slobs Os knob so O put him on his staff. It fits though ponamsky and O have both been arrested.

He's just following in the grand old tradition of good ole boy Louisiana/LSU politics of hiring incompetent friends for lucrative jobs they're not qualified for.

I thought LSU had a policy of not hiring convicted felons, but I guess that's not true if the head football coach wants a convicted felon on his staff.

Felony conviction aside, DP is a joke and belongs nowhere near the football program.

He is a glorified personal assistant I don’t get why he upsets everyone so much.

Think his fraudulent document altering days are behind him?
I’m guessing hiring a slime ball like this would upset fans.

About the only skill he brings to the table is the fact that he studies recruiting very very well.

He himself is not a recruiter per se but he knows south Louisiana like the back of his hand.

In short he makes orgerons life a little easier

Agree with above post. His only valid experience is that he has a history in high school recruiting / insider. He and Cullotta started the “O spin / campaign” for about a year before O was hired as DL coach. He was on 104.5 every Tuesday am while O was out of a coaching job.
