Good basic football IQ-knowledge,, making him far superior to the tackling dummy he replaced at OC.

Last year(his first year at OC) his tweaks worked rather well for us, wouldn't you say? He's definitely the OC though Pinkel trys to maintain veto control over the play calling, Henson is they guy doing it and is as good as anyone we have, including Pinkel.

This season has been something of a set back for him, he hasn't really innovated much of a change, he's been motioning our TE inside the tackles on obvious running downs that sort of works but is nothing special, other wise he's struggling to figure out how Muaks short passing game is such a big booger.

How do you guys think he has done

pretty darn good really, one of Pinkels better promotions.

would he be somebody to replace Pinkel one day?

The only other obviously competent coach we have is the D line coach, Kuligowski, but really what we need to do is bring in a staff that can recruit well, this group has never been better than average in that regard and we all know the importance of recruiting for the SEC.

I think LSU is going to need a play caller in the near future

our coordinators are pretty well paid, Pinkel is a big 'loyality' guy so they get good raises and bonuses. You probably won't get him without making him the HC.
