Why do we not hire any of our former players?

Our team is so fricking soft now it is ridiculous. I miss so much when our players were playing like their lives depended on it. Tyran Mathieu has said many times how bad he wants to come back and coach for LSU. That is what we need man. You need someone who genuinely cares about LSU that will call someone the frick out. It’s funny hearing Kiffin talk about how he is up with the times and all week LSU does is walk throughs and how Kirby is still doing the old ways of long practices like Saban. Well Kirby’s teams don’t fall apart in the 4th quarter. Miss when they were fighting in the locker room to be honest with you. At least they cared back then. Bring back big cat drill!!

Look at Dabos staff, there’s your answer. Great to have former players around, possibly in a shadow role, but hiring a bunch of former players as positional coaches generally doesn’t work out the best.

Good players don’t always make good coaches

Because coaching is a grind and doesn’t pay well until you get on field staff. Being a great player doesn’t always translate to being a good coach.

We have one on staff right now, Corey Raymond.
Ensminger was our OC for awhile.
Dennis Johnson was on staff awhile, under Miles and Orgeron
Kevin Sheppard was on staff
We’ve also hired them in the past. Kevin Faulk, didn’t work out. Kyle Williams, didn’t work out.
And we’ve had a bunch of former players in off the field analyst roles.

Those days are long gone. This era of college football is all about the next paycheck.
The majority of this roster doesn’t care about the history and tradition of LSU. They didn’t grow up wanting to be Tigers. That is just the way it is in the NIL/Portal era.
There are a few guys on the roster that care. We all saw Trey’Dez get emotional after the game.

I do believe that Burrow is going to become an excellent coach when his time comes.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Joe has zero interest in coaching. Super successful players are rarely top coaches. Coaching is a tough life.

Those who can, do.
Those who can’t, coach.
Those who can’t coach, coach at LSU.
I kid, I kid.
Those who can’t, coach.
Those who can’t coach, coach at LSU.
I kid, I kid.
