LSU has two coaches who are relatively the best in the business - Sloan and Hankton.
Allegedly both have OC aspirations.

When all of this business shakes out and the new OC is named, how do you keep both of them?

If that is likely not a reasonable scenario, who is easier to replace?

Not everywhere, man.
But it’s sure familiar here.

Anyone who dismisses this statement is naive - A&M and now ND and for a lateral move and arguably the same money. Stop saying it’s about going home. There is nothing that would indicate that.

If Joe Sloan wants the job, you have to give him his shot. Otherwise he’s gone too.. and the QB development and recruiting that allegedly comes with him. I know he doesn’t have experience, but you have no choice.

More a result of the competition we played than massive improvement. We just need Bama to self-limit tonight (drop a few crucial balls/penalty/etc) on a couple of drives and then we have to play lights-out offense. This is really our only path to victory if we are being honest with ourselves.

Exactly.. they’re has to be more to the story.
It wasn’t that he decided to declare, it was the odd way that it was announced. The vague statement about missing the bowl game, but mentioned being “enrolled in school” already felt off.
Best of luck - he lost a lot of support when he flirted with Bama the second time to leverage even more NIL money. His lack of loyalty earned our lack of loyalty. Moving on…

I’m no expert, but it appears that driving to the basket without a plan and try to get fouled looks like our only move.

I don’t think anyone has mentioned this yet. Is this true? If walk-Ins don’t count against your number, you could theoretically bring in a good player with an NIL deal and extend beyond the number of allowed scholarships.

You mean, Odom turned down a job to come work for a coach with one foot out the door? Shocking…
I would be careful comparing last year to this year.
LSU has proven winner with a 10-year contract and a football office with money to burn - it may have you eating those words.

Would think the only one(s) that are retained would be because their brand is irreplaceable regarding recruiting.

C. Raymond is the only coach that would be easily considered top 3 (nationally) in his role.

Reality is that CEO has been a lame duck since mid season last year - the quality of coordinator LSU will attract with stability at HC will improve dramatically. Hopefully, “serviceable” or “most improved” will not cut it anymore.
