one would think PSU might be interested as well

They might but the Crumbl cookie guy will step in and pay him more

I've never heard of anyone ever in any job getting demoted and not being disgruntled.

Yeah, I've come around to this. And a new DC shouldn't have to worry about that. We should have hired him as DL coach originally with a DL coach level salary. Maybe a small bump for some other rather meaningless title.

But, at the time, it seemed like his ability to recruit was exactly what we needed. His lack of experience at DC was exactly what we did not need.

I think the thought was we wouldn't be able to get him at DL coach, given that's what he was at A&M. Maybe he would've given Fran a friends discount, though.

Ultimately, I think it was worth a shot for Fran. At the time he was a guy with no head coaching experience. If his buddy ended up being ready, we caught lightning in a bottle. It didn't work out and I'm glad Fran didn't wait any longer to make the change. He was able to point to the 10 win season and recruiting wins as evidence to what he's building and now it looks like we got our guy.

Give him some of Nick Williams money in addition to what they were going to pay him to be Co-DC and keep him as Co-DC.

 

[CanadianSU]

as Co-DC.

LSU or Nebraska are fine and we’d just have to live with him grabbing a couple south Jersey/Philly area guys annually. I’d prefer him not landing at Penn State (his alma mater) where he’d be interested in a lot more northeast prospects.

This only works if the new DC is good with it as well

Agree. And the DC runs it and Elijah learns from him and recruits

Nebraska is a great place for him to go.

 

[richmondcuse03]

Agreed. Better to be with rhule for his own sake and ours.

Thanks to the mod(s) who put the question mark back in my title lol, don’t know why it was ever removed since he never officially joined LSU’s staff

 

[ImperialOrange]

Now Ohio State and Notre Dame, and even Georgia come on down lol.

Yeah we're doing pretty well with depth players from elite schools. We should probably be a bit more cautious with guys from 2nd tier schools like LSU, Florida, etc. I'd rather have Uber productive players from G5 or lower that know how to play football.

If depends. I wouldn't take backups from factories that haven't seen the field (Collins) but am good with backups that have looked good but will never break into the starting line up (Angeli). Coaches have to be good at scouting and finding good fits for our needs.

we are pursuing?

we are pursuing?

I hope so. Maybe why defensive line coach hasn’t been filled yet.

 

[Cusester]

Jeremy Hawkins?

 

[sufandu]

I think this would be a great hire. I hear he has been a respected dline coach in the B1G and SEC and has DC experience in the ACC.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Jeremy Hawkins?

How quickly my mind fails me.
