The OL sucks, but we've had multiple games where they were absolutely opening holes and our RBs could not take advantage of that.

It used to be because he could recruit New Orleans when a lot of them were leaving out of state. Now I don’t know because the running game has been pretty bad and the routes are terrible. Now when Berry looks good, they take him out

So you think someone like James Franklin could come here and lock down the state or for that matter New Orleans without a frank Wilson on board?

If you have to ask this, you obviously don’t follow LSU football very much.

Then Jahkeem Stewart went to USC. I’m not saying he’s not a good recruiter, but with NIL he’s not the surefire closer he once was.

I mean sure. But when we get into a dozen of recruiting battles a year you’re going to lose some. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from.

He is the recruiting coordinator.So all players good and bad he has to give the ok on.


So if y'all have any beef with the roster it should be on Austin Thomas and Frank Wilson. They were basically running the personnel aspect of the team while BK bitch arse was golfing and fricking real estate agents.

Frank is a nice guy who relates well to lots of people. Very likeable. He’s also a good father figure to lots of young athletes, These are valuable qualities, but they never constitute adequate qualifications to serve as a HC at a good program. Hope he stays on in some capacity.

For the same reason people liked Orgeron. For the same reason people wanted to hire Kevin Faulk. For the same reason Edwin Edwards got re-elected so many times.

If the people in Louisiana think you're their homeboy, they'll want you no matter what.

Has it replaced recruiting or just changed it? I understand that the "bagman" aspect is gone; but is recruiting still recruiting with the main change the openness and amount of the $?
