There were many reports surfacing Sunday that LSU was making a push to hire Auburn wide receiver coach Dameyune Craig.

LSU made it official when they announced the hire of Craig Sunday night. Per LSUSports.net:

quote:
“I want to thank the Auburn family for all of their love and support over the years,” Craig said. “My decision to make this career move is in no way a reflection of Auburn or the Auburn family. It is strictly a professional decision. It’s about growing as a coach and, hopefully, one day becoming a head coach.

Craig will replace Tony Ball who spent just one season at LSU and left to pursue other opportunities.

LSU is 10-5 vs Auburn in the last 15.

Yeah it looked like a lateral move after LSU hammered Auburn this year. What is that now 7 or 8 of the last 11?

Wish him the best. Honestly if I was just basing my decision on helping my career I may have left too. He has learned about all he can from Gus. He hasn't done alot coaching at Auburn but he is a great recruiter. Maybe it will come out that Gus held back his coaching decision but we will see.

Ok I'm sorry I couldn't say that with a straight face.

Lateral move. Craig's quote might leave one to believe he thinks Miles is safer next year than Malzhan.

Bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him.
