re: Scott Linehan hired as LSUs new PGC

Wow. We just hired an NFL OC as our PASSING GAME COORDINATOR. Not even a QB or WR coach.

Even if he only holds the position for one or two years until another young coach comes along, it is a home run hire.

wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut?

are you this dumb?

Bo had some real good defenses at NU. they were listed with his great D's here. Do you even pay attention or just lazily push an agenda?

I'll allow it, Scott coached Daunte Culpepper, Stafford, and Dak to their best passing seasons as pros dude OBVIOUSLY knows how to coach quarterbacks to submit prolific performances, people are gonna object to this hire well frick em because they don't know anything about football and are slaves to recency bias maybe they can get a fricking job

This is an uninspired awful hire.

This is nonsense. He's not the HC. He's not even the OC. He's the PGC - a glorified QB or WR coach.

And his NFL experience, specifically in the area we need is pretty impressive. I'm more concerned about his not having coached in college (and recruited/dealt with college kids) in 20 years, rather than all this irrelevant "failure" Rantards are queefing about.

Failures don't have 30-year coaching careers.

I mean, his sister-in-law is married to Jesus. How can we go wrong with bloodlines like that?

And Brady was unknown at saints but this guy will be pass game coordinator, but why didn't LSU hire someone young?

Wish I had gotten in on this earlier. Been busy at work all day and evening.

This melt is eerily similar to the E hire. How did that end up working out? And if you're going to argue that the Brady hire saved the E hire, I would reply, whatever, we ended up national champions in only 2 seasons.

Assembling a coaching staff is often similar to recruiting players. Sometimes is as more about filling needs than splashy hires. Also, what about all of the key analysts they hired that most of us knew nothing about before this year? I'm not saying O is infallible but he's earned the benefit of the doubt for now from me.

It will be interesting to see how O follows up a NC and brutal coaching exodus. Will he stumble or will he reload and make another run?

Seriously, sky screamers melting.
Who you think we was getting?
Mike Leech, Lane Kiffen, Kendal Briles.. Art Briles...

It feels like Cam Cameron all over again.

Except that Linehan isn’t the OC, and Les Miles isn’t controlling the offense. But you’re right. Totally identical besides that

Offense is installed, people. We dont need someone to reinvent the wheel.

If Steve Ensminger doesn't know the "Brady Offense" after being attached at the hip with him for a year, then God help us all!

I don't think Orgeron would have hired Linehan if he wasn't comfortable with what he heard in the interview and certainly don't think he would ever get into another Matt Canada type situation.

I'm sure we'll run what we ran last season with a few Linehan additions to the Gumbo mix.

All the Rant Virgin Geeks are freaking out because SL is not young enough for their requirements. (Just like Pelini)

We have a hell of a lot of experience on this Staff now. There shouldn't be any reason for a decline. (All that being said, I would have preferred a Lombardi hire)……….
