Was it ever confirmed that Craig was recruiting players AWAY from LSU?

And that was the big reason he was let go? Not sure if that was just a rant rumor floating around or if the guy is a legit POS.
Of course, both can be true.

Confirmed by the guys on 247 back in the day. O found out and fired him on the spot.
That's why you see Craig screaming at him after they "won" last year.

He wasn't just recruiting guys away from LSU... he was recruiting specifically TO Jimbo.

OK. I guess I didn't realize it was possible to hate an assistant coach THIS much.

If my memory serves me right, you had th Oregon logo last week. We saw what happened. Please change the OU logo. 
Thanks.
Thanks. Posted on 11/26/19 at 9:40 am to sicboy

O confirmed that he at least told D Smith to go to Bama

I resent your implication, but fixed.

He was also the main recruiter for Devonta Smith. Who knows how that process went down.

Regardless...the guy seems pretty unstable and glad we got rid of him. It will be interesting to see how fast he heads to the locker room after we curb stomp them.

I wasn’t too worried about that. He could barely recruit them TO LSU.
Posted on 11/26/19 at 10:05 am to sicboy
Yes it was confirmed he's a huge piece of shite

I would like to come to Craig's defense in the interest of having a balanced, responsible discussion on these issues.
I have seen plenty of claims that Craig, while on the LSU staff, was steering recruits elsewhere. I have seen no proof of that claim, and suspect it is hard to come by, outside of admissions from the recruits themselves.
HOWEVER, I think that it has been firmly established independently from this issue that Dameyune Craig is a lying POS. The video illustrates this point.

He was telling recruits that he wasn't going to be at LSU and they should look elsewhere.
The reason for this is because when O took over as interim, one of the first things he did was remove most coaching responsibilities from Craig. The guy is an awful on field coach. Lazy and brought nothing to the offensive staff. O should have officially fired him when he took over and it would have caused a lot less issues later down the road.

I was going to mention this too. At best he was a terrible position coach and lousy recruiter. He deserved to get fired even if these allegations aren't true.

I'm sure his contract probably gave Alleva pause. LSU still owed him a lot of money at that point. The fact that LSU ate the second year and $550k just goes to show you how badly they wanted that clown outta there.

exactly, then DC got fed a plate full of reality
Dameyune Craig was hired under Les Miles in 2016 as a WR coach. Once Les and then OC Cam Cameron were fired after 4 games into the 2016 season, Craig had this grandiose idea that he was going to be appointed as the interim OC. Coach Orgeron selected Steve Ensminger which really PO'd Craig. Craig's negative attitude towards LSU and Coach O was confirmed by several recruits who reported that Craig was encouraging them to sign elsewhere.
Craig had never been an OC anywhere in his life, yet he truly believed that he was the "next man up" once Cameron was fired. His way of getting back at Coach O and LSU was acting like a complete dooshbag

To be fair I think part of the pitch to Craig was the opportunity to be an OC after Cam when we brought him on. Same reason he got pissed and left auburn
Problem is the guy who made him that promise was fired

I find it odd that he basically ran past coach O and went to yelling at the players.
