Will Miles hire a defensive coord for next year?

I sure as hell hope so. With the new ESPN contract alone, LSU has $14 million more in its coffers, so I would go pay the money and hire the best gun money could buy. Someone with a proven track record.

next week i predict

I think it has to do more with loyalty than stubborness. Does anyone know if he has ever made changes in a coaching staff, here or at OSUsw? I doubt he will make any changes unless we lose the rest of our conference games.

If he doesn't I am going to be so not looking forward to next season.

He won't. Hopefully he gives the guys a freakin arse chewing and blitzes every last mo-fo!

I agree. He said that he believes the defense was well prepared at his press conference today

hopefully just the usual coach language. he
wouldn't bash them in public.

Yea hopefully coachspeak. Cause our D got pushed around by Florida. I hope he realizes there is a problem. I really hate the lack of blitz.

My incredibly reliable inside sources say Steve Spurrier was shopping for houses in University Club. You know, because of their great golf course and all

Oh my bad, I just had a flashback of the 2007 coaching changes board.

I think that's an open question at this point.

Just a guess, but I think going the co-coordinator route made the most sense for CLM, given the circumstances:

1. He lost his DC way, way late, and skulling around trying to poach a defensive coach from another school just a month before signing day was probably more trouble than it would have been worth because...

2. CLM guessed that the best path was to keep a defense that was losing key upperclass leaders going into 2008 would have the best chance of success by both staying w/ the existing scheme that they knew and staying w/ coaches they knew as well.

That being said, if you're looking to get a new DC, then you're also looking to scrap the existing D and take a new approach.

What would this new "approach" be, exactly? We only have to look at AU to see how removing a coordinator (or, with Sean Payton, cutting John Carney after the 2006 season) just for the sake of doing so can make a non-problem a big problem.

In other words, let's see if the players and our co-coordinators are more efficient and effective at the end of the season. They have plenty of games to work out the kinks, so to speak.

He shouldn't have any trouble.
