NDTiger Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 We all know the writing is on the wall with Coach O at LSU. Who do you want to replace O, who is more likely to replace O, and who are potential coaches many aren't even thinking of that could replace O?

Nutriaitch Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 gut feeling with Woodward’s MO. will be a quality hire. will almost certainly have head coaching experience. will likely (but not necessarily) have some experience/success at a Power 5 school. we won’t hear shyte until it’s done. could be a “big splash” type or one of those “damn i didn’t even think of him, that’s a damn strong hire” type 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precluded will be people who have a potential to bring shame on the institution, so that rules out the Urban Meyers, Lane Kiffins, Bobby Petrinos, and others.

Smaller names we likely speak to: Billy Napier Jamey Chadwell Dave Aranda Matt Cambell Guys that nobody thinks were going to talk to (but i think could/should be on the list): Mario Cristobal Scott Satterfield Neal Brown Shawn Clark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Bienemy. he’s from New Orleans and was a stud RB in college. but he’s been in NFL for like 15 years now and is probably a lifer at that level now.

Herb Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Bienemy is on a lot of short lists and would not surprise me to see the Raiders snatch him up now that Gruden has been fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's responsible for losing DHop, JJ Watt, Clowney, e.t.c., and getting nothing in return. That is not all on Bill O'Brien. Look where this guy joined the organization, and what his role is: Quote Jack Easterby was named the executive vice president of football operations on January 28, 2020, being promoted to the role after joining the Houston Texans as executive vice president of team development in April 2019. In his role, Easterby manages all football operations and directs the overall culture of the organization. Bob McNair founded the team, he died in 2018. His wife owns them, and his son, Cal McNair runs the team. Cal brought in Easterby, and the players felt he was preaching too much christian culture to them. I don't know a player and none has said this out loud, but rumor is that the players want to WIN, and they want the best coach to WIN, don't care is he is christian, muslim, or atheist. I think that was Deshawn Watson's problem with the team, he wanted, and says he was promised, input on the coach to replace O'Brien, and he did not even get to have his say. JJ Watt seemed to think the same way, Texans more concerned about "culture" than competence. The story we heard about O'Brien and Deandre Hopkins seemed to be on O'Brien, but I am not sure if Easterby was really behind it. I am not that down on O'Brien.

For example how is Thaddeus Moss doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 There were several years that LSU had more former players staffing NFL rosters than any other university. That has tapered off over the last few years (perhaps one more thing to thank Orgeron for). "NFLU" has been a great recruiting tool for LSU since Saban arrived here. The term was informally coined over time, but the message to high school players that attending LSU gave them a stage to get prepared for the NFL was backed up by the numbers. Moss, specifically, was a 3 star high school prospect. He chose NC State to play for then transferred to LSU. Aside from his pedigree, Moss was not recruited or considered to be a guaranteed future NFL player. Outside of his name, he was no more or less an NFL prospect than many other high school athletes with his level of talent. It was "NFLU" that gave Moss the exposure on a much bigger stage than NC State ever could that allowed him access to the NFL - in conjunction with the Moss "brand". If the "NFLU" reputation gives us an edge over many other schools in recruiting, I'd love to see LSU trademark it rather than ditch it.
