Good luck to him. I’ll say this, at least he wanted the job.

I hate even having to type this....

Bama replaces an OC and DL coach with two former NFL head coaches, and LSU hires two “young and energetic” NFL position coaches to take over OC and DC duties.

Yep... bad optics
Stop looking over into the next stall and wipe the drool from your mouth. Geez. Fkn embarrassing.

This move will sink O's ship. I say it's good because O will be gone sooner rather than later. Good luck coach O because you will need it.


The good news for you is that sports betting is legal in many states now. If you can see the future so clearly, put your money where your mouth is.

Regardless of the fact I think there were still several better options out there, Jones is our DC now.

I would like to see him succeed, because it means LSU football succeeds. He has a lot to prove as a DC, and maybe he will be up to the task, we are going to find out very quickly either way.

Good luck coach.

So YOU see these "several better options", with all your experience in evaluating coaches, and Coach O is blind to them? Any thought given to the possibility that Coach contacted these better options & for whatever reasons, they were not offered ? Or do you think these were the only 3 he considered?

Yes, but he wants the job and he is no threat to Ed.
Both are essential to the hire.
The rest, like his abilities, are less clear.

It’s a garbage hire. As a Green Bay fan I watched Minnesota closely. It’s the worst pass defense the Vikings have ever had, some of that is personnel but this guy flat out sucks as a DC hire.
This is a 100% Scott Woodward hire.

After the Nielsen "Why didn't you call Sean" Fiasco, I think he told Orgeron to STFU, go along with it or GTFO.......

-Pellini came here on others' recommendation.
-Canada came here on others' recommendation.

I will say this--if Ed O is reaching out to Dave to make this hire, O knows jack squat about what he is looking for in a D coordinator. Also, O publicly claimed that Pellini's D was better than Aranda's. This was Aranda's chance for vengeance. I won't be surprised if we shite the bed again this year. An unproven coordinator with unproven recruiting prowess with no ties to Louisiana. Sounds like Pellini; doesn't it?
