Herb Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 So why isn't the guy who - as HC of a power 5 team whose team was #6 in terms of total wins - considered a top candidate? Let that sink in - over six seasons only 5 teams had more wins than the team he coaches. Who is this coach? Paul Chryst at Wisconsin.

houtiger Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I recall that a couple of years ago, someone went after him. He said he was happy at Wisconsin, they gave him a raise and extension, and the impression then was he was there for the long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUDad Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Desmond Howard was talking about how good the LSU job is, the last three coaches won a National Championship. The last two, would have never won one anywhere else. He’s doing Woodys job for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Winding down my Nebraska/Colorado visit and saw some fresh names being tossed about: Matt Rhule - former Baylor HC who did very well there cleaning up the Art Briles mess but has struggled a bit in the NFL. Considered a good NCAA head coach who 'did the Saban' by going to the NFL and might regret it. Pete Carrol - yeah, him. Might be looking for a new challenge but he's almost 70 and probably seeing his retirement on the horizon. I don't think he'd be interested in LSU and if he was would probably take a lucrative 5 year deal and head into the sunset after that. He'd be a "no" from me. Brian Kelley at Notre Dame - the argument was that Kelley can get ND in the playoffs but doesn't have the talent to ever go all the way and LSU would give him the vehicle to reach the top. Basically that he's done all he can at ND and LSU would be a new challenge for him. If he were interested, I wouldn't say no and if Woodward picked him (like any other choice) I'd be behind him 100% until he gave me reason not to. Doug Pederson - that Tiger Poo site (or whatever the name of it is that always makes me think of a litterbox) says players are being told that 3 current assistants are being retained and that Woodward already has his guy signed. Apparently it's Pederson, who was the Super Bowl winning coach of the Eagles not long ago (2017). Now, I don't take ANY credence for things that fans who claim they have an "inside source" say. They almost always prove to be incorrect. I would say that this might not even be solid enough to call a "rumor"...take it for what it's worth. As for Pederson, he's an offensive minded coach (former NFL backup QB) who played college at Louisiana-Monroe when it was 'Northeast Louisiana University' and outside of his career as an NFL coach, he started his coaching career at the Calvary Baptist Academy in Shreveport. So he has some ties to Louisiana. He is a disciple of Andy Reid who was QB coach at Philly when Donovan McNabb was QB and he followed Reid to KC as his OC before getting hired to be the Eagles HC (replacing Chip Kelly whose UCLA team throttled us). He only has 4.75 seasons as a HC and is 42-37 overall. Again...take it for what it's worth. IMHO, his record as a head coach is kind of thin, but who knows. Have not seen any other 'fresh ideas' outside of the usual drivel from sports writers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not seen any other 'fresh ideas' outside of the usual drivel from sports writers. Take 2, leave 2. Pederson is a good one, great offensive mind. Rhule did well at stops, speaking of Baylor, fun to watch Jeff Grimes offense at Baylor. Grimes played college ball with Dirk Koetter and Andy Reid at UTEP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houtiger Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I wonder if Rhule would bring Joe Brady with him??? Just kidding. I read that Brady will become an NFL head coach in a few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houtiger Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Every now and then someone mentions Mark Stoops at Kentucky. He has build the program up, at a basketball school. Team plays solid on both sides of the ball. He seems no nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be vehemently opposed, but I'd hate his offense unless he's willing to let an innovative OC (which he doesn't currently have) do his thing.

Herb Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 It'll be interesting to see if Jeff Traylor's contract extension at UTSA (where Frank Wilson was HC a few years back) will have any effect on the market prices for contracts at major programs. Though Traylor's contract is somewhere in the neighborhood of only $2.8 million per year, that might have an upward push on contract prices for a program like LSU. Don't be surprised if our next coach is paid somewhere in the $12 million/year range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houtiger Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 As a JOB, head coaches are way overpaid. On the other hand, they have left the JOB market and now are in the ENTERTAINMENT market. Think how Lady Gaga gets paid, and head coaches are underpaid. I read an article from a Gumps guy and he said about Saban's pay, Saban is the best bargain in college football. They pay him $8 million a year, and their total revenue went up $40 million a year. Winning like they do, fans keep buying ticket, consuming at the games, and they buy Gumps gear. Sales are way us since Saban went there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Actually Saban makes over $10 mill/year, but again, well worth it. I fully expect LSU is willing to spend $12 mill/year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) I was eating at Pocorellos yesterday, Scott Woodward’s, Dad and brother were having lunch with us. Some might remember the Hawks Nest Restaurant in BTR, the owner, Ray “Big Head” Smith, passed away years ago, his brother Wally was in there eating also. Wally and I got to talk about years ago with his brother. If you are ever in BTR on a Friday, Pocorellos is a great stop. Muffulettas, Pasta Dishes, Stuffed Artichokes, too much good stuff.
