Saw in this morning's Advocate that Dingman, assistant football operations director was fired along with Miles and Cameron. Who is this guy and what was his job duties?

I saw the one line in the Advocate or WBRZ story that said Dingman was out. I also wondered the same thing - Head coach, offensive coordinator, and some assistant operations guy? Odd.

Because he's in on a few recruits, and we need coaches to finish out the season. We already had to pull one out of retirement and bump up some GA's.

he was a miles yes man - also a michigan man.

reminds me of the godfather where, in one swift move, michael eliminated all of his rivals.

well, LSU just did that with its michigan men.

might have been more of a bid to keep austin thomas. I know Orgeron loves austin thomas so that might have been one of his requests on agreeing to take the interim job.

No ... because we would not still have Bradley Dale PeFREDO.

Maybe Dingman did one of those moves you only see in the movies - "If you fire him, fire me first."

And then Alleva, calm and collected, "Fine, you're fired too."

This question was asked of Hanni and Ott on radio last night. Basic answer was that you still need warm bodies to coach the rest of the season. LSU was two down after the firings. Pete Jenkins added to the fold, but still a lot of responsibilities to be covered for eight (or nine) more games.

Dean Dingman Bio Courtesy: LSUsports.net (@LSUsports) Release: 08/04/2016 Dean Dingman, a former All-America offensive lineman at Michigan, enters his fifth year as assistant director of football operations at LSU in 2016. Dingman originally joined the LSU staff in July of 2011, serving as an intern in the weight room before being elevated to his current role prior to the 2012 season. In his current position, Dingman works with Dr. Sam Nader on the day-to-day football operations, with emphasis on player development, and academics while also serving as the NFL liaison for the Tigers. He's also responsible for overseeing LSU Pro Day and the LSU Football Coaches Clinic. During the summer months, Dingman organizes a speaker series for the football team. A 1992 graduate of Michigan in sports management and communications, Dingman was a four-year starter at offensive guard for the Wolverines from 1987-90. During that span, Michigan won three Big 10 titles, playing in the Rose Bowl twice and the Gator Bowl one time. Dingman twice earned All-Big 10 honors and was named to the America Football Coaches Association and Sporting News All-America teams in 1990. A native of East Troy, Wis., Dingman was named to the prestigious USA Today All-USA Football Team in 1986 as an offensive lineman at East Troy High School. He then went on to become just the third true freshman in Michigan history to start on the offensive line for the Wolverines. Dingman was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the eighth round of the 1991 NFL Draft. He spent the 1991 season on Pittsburgh's injured reserve list.

thoughts on him being the one that leaked all the nov plans last year? It would make some sense considering he is miles buddy and we just randomly popped him along with miles and cam.
