I'm surprised no one (not talking about this board but the media in general) isn't even bringing up the name Chip Kelly....

He's not on the long shot list. He is on the list, period. He may get it turned around. Not saying he will be fired. But, if his offense doesn't sh...
re: Glazer saying that Bill O'Brien and Texans could part ways after the season

He probably wants to stay in the NFL. And, he will get several phone calls, either as HC or OC.
But, I'll bet Urban Meyer would love to have him on the Buckeye staff next year....
Just a thought on Chip Kelly.
Posted by bret75 on 1/1/17 at 7:59 pm
Conventional wisdom says he is a better college coach than NFL coach, that his uptempo style just won't work with a 43 man roster.
He apparently let it be known that he wasn't interested in returning to college.
So, Chip, how'd that work out for you?...
Thanks again to all of you here.

I appreciate your hospitality and allowing me to join in the discussion of the HC search for LSU.
From an LSU fan perspective, here would be my biggest concern with hiring Orgeron:
First the positives: Great attitude. Loves LSU. Loves the state. Fantastic recruiter. Loads of energy.
No...

Yep. And, I continually reminded everyone: I know nothing. I have no inside sources.
I just look at the coaching carousel and try to come to reasonable conclusions. I am wrong far more often than I am right.
But, it is fun tryin...

Amazing how a few days changes things.
Posted by bret75 on 11/30/16 at 2:04 pm
Last week, UF fans were laughing at FSU saying that Jimbo was going to LSU.
Now, one of the leading rumors on the coaching carousel is the McElwain is going to Oregon.
And, Gators seems split right down the middle whether to cheer wildly or be upset. :lol:
So, who is Oregon gonna hire? I...
re: Ron Zook needs to be our Special Teams coach
Posted by bret75 on 11/27/16 at 8:44 pm
FRom what I recall of Zook at Florida, he seems like a good fit.
1. He is definitely a great recruiter.
2. He has ties to Louisiana. Wasn't he on the Saints staff when Foley hired him at Florida (after missing on Stoops and Shanahan)?
3. And, he can talk as fast and frenetically as Coac...
Jimmy Sexton did his job.
Posted by bret75 on 11/27/16 at 6:29 am
You might not like his methods. (If I were an LSU fan I would be thinking, "Alleva allowed that scumbag Sexton to play him like a Stradivarius two years in a row.") But, it is hard to argue with his results.

Posted by bret75 on 11/26/16 at 6:30 am
1. I completely understand the emotions and the rants and venting going on with the fans. While we all understand this sin't life and death, it's "just football," it is still extremely important to fans and fans have a vested interest in the hire.
2. After following the coaching carousel for 2...
re: ESPN ARE ASSHOLES!!!!! THAT INTERVIEW BEFORE THE GAME
Posted by bret75 on 11/25/16 at 11:11 am
Agreed.
The reporter has to ask the question. He knows Herman will give a non-answer, but he has to ask anyway. Herman knows he has to ask the question.
No problem.
But, the reporter doesn't have to ask 5 follow-up questions. Herman did a great job maintaining his composure. You know He...
re: Not convinced Fisher is out of the picture
Posted by bret75 on 11/25/16 at 9:15 am
paper tiger, great post.
I agree that this is a high stakes poker game.
But, here is why I think it is highly unlikely Jimbo gets back into the picture: With the word leaking out about Herman, it appears that Herman was their first choice. If Herman ends up going to TX, and LSU comes back to ...

[quote]If Jimbo comes to LSU, you would have been right since day one which invalidates your whole post.[/quote]
Yeah, I could try and spin it that way. But, in reality, I would have just been wrong twice.
And, as we all know,........
I've been wrong from day one on this thing.
Posted by bret75 on 11/24/16 at 10:36 pm
But, as I have consistently said, I know nothing.
I figured it was 90% that Jimbo was headed to LSU. I was wrong. I am surprised he isn;t going.
But, now, with all the confusion and mixed signals about Herman I will say this: Regardless of what happens with Herman, even if he doesn't go to ...
LSU could be creating a coach opening tonight.

Sumlin may be gone after this performance.
Was that Chad Morris I saw high-fiving his agent?...
