I’m not new here. I scroll through and enjoy y’all’s posts multiple times a day, I’m a tourist and a die-hard Tiger fan. But, I’m confused with this whole “Pear” thing. I’m assuming the Pear is WW, due to his physical shape. “tPear” and “tOrchard” I’ve no clue. Someone want to let me in on the joke?

Is the Orchard USA Today or SI? Are Pat Forde and that other dude planting “seeds” in the “rumor orchard”?

Too much uncertainty. Simple and plain.

Enough said.

Been reading TD”a for years, posting some. All I’m talking about are three possibilities.

I don care about them, but what’s with dislikes?

Welcome back!!

I wish the Broncos had a HC vacancy.

True. And it does worry me that he might not coach the DLine, LB’s as well as he’s coached the secondary. Though, he’s been around LSU for almost 9 years. A lot of schools would jump at the chance to get him for DC.

Brad White’s resume is lacking. His NFL experience does no always translate to SEC success, we all know that. He’s coached a a bottom tier UK team. The fact is, we can do better.

I don’t follow the Saints religiously, how dug in is Nielsen with the Saints? I do like his run defense, though.

Of these three; Freeman, Raymond, Mason.

Marcus Freeman is young. He’s coached a mediocre team to a NY6 bowl with the #11 defense and #7 scoring defense. His resume is all Big10 and smaller schools in the B10 area. But, he’s young and apparently recruits love him. So building bridges in the south probably won’t be a problem.

Derek Mason. I like the guy, but his record is pretty bad. An 0-8 start to a season and a 27-54 record at Vandy. It’s gotta be hard to recruit/coach at Vanderbilt. But that’s a terrible record. I haven’t looked at his the team defense stats during his Time there, but I would be shocked if they’re very good. Also, he seems like a big personality. I wonder if that could cause problems. Finally, with a team like LSU behind him, could he recruit on par with top SRC programs? I have no idea.

Corey Raymond. We all know him, most of us like him. By now, he and O must at least get along on a professional level. Excellent recruiter. With a 2020 season of letdowns, the young CBs had some serious flashes of greatness. Ricks & Ward looked as good as any underclass duo in the country. I could be wrong, but he coached Stingley. Former players (Fehoko and Ryan Clark) are lobbying for him. He is an elite recruiter. But, does he want the job? Some on this board have said he’s happy where he’s at.

I’m just a fan, but my rakings of these three would be;
Raymond
Freeman
Mason

The (serious) disagreeing/fighting amongst coaches has to stop. I’m thinking Pelini & Canada. Raymond has been with O for a while now, Freeman is very young and probably pretty adaptable. I could see Mason being another Pelini type where he the HC and other coaches are rarely on the same page.

Just a few thoughts. What do y’all think about these three?

To be clear. I’m commenting on an article from TigerWire LINK /

I know. I’m just wondering how he can turn it around next year.

In fact, I think he’s just part of the problem.

I like him, still think he can be a star. But, if his coaches don’t coach him (which is what O was doing) he will not learn. He absolutely needed to be screamed at. Hopefully he learned from this crap game and he can move on knowing a little bit more.
