Payton must be starting to get pissed off that coach O keeps poaching people off his staff in particular. If we can get Nielsen I think the saints well is about to dry up for coach O. O would be well advised, when looking for coaches at the NFL level, to start looking at other teams rather tha...

The future is young aggressive coaches that can make needed adjustments on the fly. Bama is hiring old dinosaurs that are so ingrained in doing things their way they refuse to change. I expect the Gumps to be going through a revolving carousel of crappy coaches if they continue going this di...

Nielsen has a lot more experience as a D-Line coach at both the college and NFL levels than the equivalent experience Brady had when he was hired. Nielsen is much more of a known entity than Brady ever was before his hire....

Presuming Nielsen has signed a contract, I think he is going to make the best DC hire we could have made, and that includes Freeman....

Who cares what a washed up Pete Carroll says. The work Nielsen did with the saints front 4 says a whole lot more about him than any words Pete Carroll can say....

The deal is apparently being finalized per multiple sources now. Can you say Shemar Stewart, Walter Nolen, and virtually any other of the best D-Lineman in the country!! Great times should be ahead for a few years hopefully....

With a young aggressive coaching staff, and the returning+incoming talent we have, may the beatdown's of the hated gump tards begin for a few years....

Outstanding news, if true!!...

He will provide a gigantic boost to recruiting that can't even be fully gauged as of yet, if he accepts the position. The first order or business should be to make sure he puts pen to paper to be the LSU DC. ...

Oh yeah!! Coach O better close the deal on him and sign him up. Dan Campbell, I suspect will peg Nielsen as a candidate, if not the top candidate for the DC job in Detroit. Than again, it is Detroit......

Now, after he made every attempt to destroy team cohesion and unity this past season, he gives a geaux tigers?? Screw that guy, he should never be welcome into Louisiana ever again....

The real question at this point is whether Nielsen is going to go be the DC for that dumpster fire of a NFL team the Detroit Lions, or be the DC for LSU and help us win national championships. On top of that who in their right mind would want to have to live in Detroit during the football season?? ...

He may if we pay him significantly more. If he is coach O's primary target , he may just go all out to sign him to a contract. Personally, I think it would be worth it because Nielsen's potential as a DC is very high. There was no potential with Pelini, he is what he always would be, a terrible D...

Who in the living hell would want to be DC of the fricking detroit lions. That teams has been a hot mess mess for about 2 decades now. Being the DC for the detroit lions is a losing proposition all around and most likely a career killer....

Washington is a damn good D-lineman, can't teach his natural size and strength. The goal should be to have 2 and 3 men deep at all D-Line positions so we can wear teams down no matter how good their offensive line is. Washington is a kid that is certainly talented enough to be part of our rotatio...

Disappointing to say the least. This kid is going to be a good one, I hope he reconsiders this decision and recommits to LSU sometime this year. If he doesn't, then we move on to another kid who will be just as good or possibly better....

You are right in one respect, McDaniels did run the Broncos into the ground. He is a complete control freak and wanted full GM responsibilities as well. Denver, fortunately never gave him the GM responsibilities or things would have been even worse during his time there. I believe you are dead...

Ar the minimum we need to get Shemar Stewart, keep Shone Washington, and get Jaheim Oatis. I hope we get these guys and land a couple more too. Oatis is a freaking giant human being. Very few people have the kind of natural size he has, and he is not a big fat slob either. If we get Nielsen we ma...

Trev Faulk for LB coach would work, but we need to make sure we do in fact get Nielsen. Then again, Nielsen may bring a LB coach from the NFL with him, we don't know what his plan may be....

I think we should try to get a good LB coach for sure. I had hoped Demeco Ryan was a possiblity, but obviously that's off the table now because he already got another job. I'm not sure who we are looking at for LB coach, I hope it's another young, hungry dude that is very motivated to get our LB ...
