For those who think this is catastrophic, consider the following facts: 

2020 127th
2021 91st

That's LSUs pass defense the last two years.  

Also, as evidenced by having to get transfers from the likes of Nichols State, his recruiting has sucked too. 

He was a great DB coach and did a lot of good at LSU, but the writing was on the wall.

Here's the last 4.5 years recruiting CBs

2018:

0. Zero.  None. 

Stingley (5 stars; 1 great season; 2 partial seasons he didn't finish.

Hampton (4 stars, can't hit a curve, transferred

Jones 4 stars, hasn’t really contributed

Ward 3 star, converted to Safety; solid player, dog

Flott 3 star turned into a very consistent performer in the slot

2020:

Ricks 5 star; great freshman season; quit year 2; in portal

Nudie 4 star turned into solid player this year, dog

Evans (transfer from Nichols because Corey couldn’t field a full group of CBs in early 2020)

2021:

McGhee 4 star barely played as a freshman

 

The fact Jordan Allen wasn't offered until today speaks volumes.

Note also that Ron Cooper was DB coach when Peterson, Matthieu, Claiborne, and others were here. Raymond kept DBU going but Cooper's inertia may have been part of Raymond's success.

(Note that even though Ron Cooper built the "DB" University reputation, he is not related to or associated with "D.B. Cooper" who hopped off of a plane with a suitcase of cash back in the day.)

Love the cash stories. Some of my friends were playing during the cash days at aTm. He said they’d get word when the NCAA was coming in. All the $hit cars were in the dorm parking lot. The nice rides were moved on the other side of the building. His family was from up in Dallas, so very seldom they used his tickets. The tickets were in his locker, then gone, cash in a envelope was left in its place.
