Hire new coordinators but keep Ed as a cheerleader

By firing Orgeron months ago, he was able to forge relationships with several big fish that ultimately resulted in us being able to get one of our top candidates. This is an effective AD and we are lucky to have him. Scott, next drink is on me!

I follow notre dame football and Kelly is solid in all facets and his high character! We ridin!

Now being offered. We thought it was Lincoln giving the okay, but Baylor also recruiting the same guys. Is it a sign?

my bet is based on a few obserations:
1) Riley and Jimbo are happy where they are. THey have no reason to leave. Jimbo left FSU because he had reasons to leave secondary to lack of support. TAMU is very supportive of him, so why would he leave. TAMU will match any salary +/-. Riley is happy where he is, and OU supports him. He will also get SEC money soon.
2) Aranda is good, but not enough experience as head coach. Also, i sense that administration wants someone more outgoing and vocal.
3) Character flaws rule out several others including Meyer and Kiffin.
4) Napier is good, but I cant see a jump from ULL to LSU. Simply put, he's too big a risk.

This leaves Campbell. No blemishes. Solid character. Overachieving at a Big 12 school. Process oriented. Will stabilize our program (think Title IX, recruiting violations, etc.).

usce it is.

Canada as interim head coach led the Maryland Terps to an upset of Texas. In 1 game, Canada has already surpassed Ed O's resume from his Ole Miss days. Oh how the future looks grim at our favorite LSU.

The problem has nothing to do with Dave Aranda. Its the HC moron.

No this does reflect the continual decline in the program. From the hiring of Coach O to the holes in recruiting. The disciplinary issues are another sign of poor leadership at the highest levels. Ed couldn't coach at Ole Miss, and he can't run a bigger program at LSU. The fact that he is coach is an embarrassment to our program. We have good assistant coaches but even they are handicapped. Ok, we may win 7 games this year, but is that our goal? We in no way shape or form will beat Alabama, Auburn or Florida. That's four losses, and it aint getting better next year. Basically, we are an average SEC school now. Congrats Alleva and King. Even Les Miles is laughing at us and he likely has dementia. What a freaking joke and it just kills me to see this happen to us.

Our tigers really came to play. They were well prepared, executed a great game plan and dominated the three facets of the game. This despite fielding a ton of green faces. Kudos to our coaches and our team. We are going to have a good year. I think its clear that Aranda and Canada are best of breed.

Going forward, we gotta bulk up our recruiting. I'm concerned that our assistants are more short term oriented and not putting in the hours to out recruit the Bamas etcs. This may reflect their short term outlook, as they are likely going to bounce in a year or two to a HC position or NFL position. This is the main problem with the Orgeron strategy to have the best assistants. We will be burning over coaches quite soon. Other teams can utilize this fact to out recruit us. Do you really think Aranda will be sticking around another 4 years to coach your son? Nonetheless, lets enjoy this year while we have him.
