I think over paying Brady will quicken his departure and ultimately be putting Brady in a position to fail long term.

Make sure Brady enjoys coaching at LSU. If and when the time comes for Brady to leave, Brady will have the skills to properly manage his career and Brady will leave a job description for LSU to fill.

I don't know Coach O. What I know of Coach O is that he understands how to persuade and motivate people. Coach O also appears to be a man with the character and integrity to do what's best for the people in his Football program.

At this speed dude is HC somewhere in two years


Yeah but where? He needs to be an official OC first which is what he will be at LSU the next few years. He's not going to leave for a job like FAU or UTSA. He's way bigger than that. Think Lincoln Riley. That's his future. Learning how to run a program from O is going to make that dude a shite load of money down the road. That's his biggest weakness. That's why Ole Miss and Arkansas didn't look at him.

Let's revisit this in 2 years and I bet the teams coming after Brady will be MUCH different.

They're not a player at all. Brady isn't going to into that shite-fest and work for a HC that runs his own offense. He will have FULL control at LSU next year and make about $2 million.

Brady will only leave for he NFL or a big time Power 5 job.

Brady is 30. If you look at Brady's resume, any school that hires Brady as coordinator is just throwing away money.

Brady is in a unique position. "Co-coordinator?" I don't know of any other co-coordinator in the country. I don't imagine calling plays real game time for an elite college football program is normally a team effort.



Huh?
1. We are hiring Brady as a coordinator.
2. There are, and have been, numerous examples of co-coordinators in CFB.

Clemson has co-OCs. Bama had them a couple of years ago. Yeah I don't know what that guy is talking about. It's nothing new.

I think you pay coaches what they're worth and when they're ready to move on you let them. The idea is that you create a culture where the top coaches will line up around the block to get a shot to be on your staff because they know that's the fast track to their own stardom. Great leaders create more leaders who go on to do their thing. We don't need to demean these assistants and say that the only way they'll succeed is if they stay at LSU their entire career.

Yes. He basically used LSU as a chip to force Texas hand in firing Strong.


which is what his client wanted

I think this move signals that Brady wants a big opportunity soon. He was going to get a massive pay raise regardless. I believe he'll be at LSU next year.

Not a football coach; I know absolutely nothing about the coaching business. Didn't know of other co-coordinators and said so in my post. I don't understand your confusion.

Let's clarify coordinator.... Brady is LSU's passing game coordinator and receivers coach, maybe he has a TE coach working under him, again I'm guessing; don't know the coaching business. I can just see it aa reasonable to give an up and coming coach that level of responsibility.

offensive coordinator? You'd fire Steve Ensminger, a guy whose been around college football for 40+ years, 10 years longer than Brady has been alive? I think the idea that Coach O would make Brady LSU's sole Offensive Coordinator is absurd. However, if that's what Coach O decides. He's the proven head coach about to win a national championship. I'm a football fan. I will applaud Coach O's decision and say Geaux Tigers with coach O any day anywhere.

Money doesn't motivate people to be better at what they do. The best way to kill a person's career is to kill there overall satisfaction with their career. People aren't satisfied with a career in which they are failing. Don't put someone in a position he is not ready for because he will be in a position to fail. If someone is satisfied with failure, you don't want that person in your organization.

Brady is 30 years old and has 4 years of coaching experience. In my world that kind of guy doesn't know very much, but I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT COACHING FOOTBALL. It's not my business. I'm just some idiot wasting his time on a message board.

You don't leave the new orleans saints to be a passing coordinator at lsu unless you're looking to prove yourself and move up.

I dont blame the guy one bit. Get the best agent and make the most you can while the iron is hot

No one is advocating firing Ensminger. But Brady is about to get a significant raise. With that will come an increase in responsibilities because you don't pay a passing game coordinator $2m.

And I don't see what his time in grade has to do with anything. Brady knows more about modern offense than E does. That's why we are where we are right now.

quote:

We have a very bright young coach here, you don't stifle his growth.

The HC had to change to allow someone like Brady to become a part of this staff, and he deserves a lot of credit for doing that. The change isn't over. He'll have to trust this guy to run his offense eventually.

quote:

How do you know what he's ready for and what he isn't? Do you understand that not everyone learns at the same rate? Some people are just naturally more gifted than others and are ready for more sooner.

Jim Harbaugh was a HC by his 3rd year of coaching. Some people just know how to do the job. People think he's a laughing stock right now because he's can't beat a historically great program in the middle of their golden era but the fact is the guy has only had two teams under .500 in his 17 year career. Some just have it.
