It is funny that this subject comes up. I worked on the Deepwater Horizon and knew most of the guys/people out there at the time. There is definitely a lot of LSU fans and Alabama fans (along with Ole Miss, Arkansas and Miss St) that work on drilling rigs. Our safety topic this week has been crew morale, and we have made several references to SEC football around this subject. I personally used the Bey-Bey story with the rope in his first player meeting as an example of everyone pulling in the same direction. I also did a little bantering with the crew and let them know that I will be at the LSU/Alabama game this year and that Coach O will lead the Tigers to their first win over the Gumps in the last 6 tries and that my daughter will be leading the FU Saban chant. The next day, one of my friends broke out a quote from Nick Saban to counter everything I said about the LSU Tigers. He even pointed out the Alabama National Tiltes. On drilling rigs, even though we root for different schools, we are generally like a family. It's all good fun. As for the movie, I will take it at face value. All I know is that 11 of my friends died on the rig that horrible day, and several more have experienced life altering changes. God Bless them! When I get in from offshore, I will go watch the movie (only because I personally know all of the real guys that these actors are portraying). I'm sure I will cry like a baby. Last thought, if they are making references to LSU football or Alabama football in the movie, then at tleast that part of the story is true.

Kris Richard (Seahawks DB Coach)--35 years old. Already coached in 1 Super Bowl and maybe another this year. He overseas probably the best unit in football--Legion of Boom. He played at USC and has learned from Gus Bradley/Quinn/Carroll. Just think him telling recruits: "I coached Sherman, Thomas and Chancellor." He can also flash at least one championship ring.

Ted Monachino (Raven LB Coach)--Can tell recruits that he coached Ray Lewis, CJ Mosley, Suggs, Dumervil, Upshaw, Ellerbe and Kruger. 48 yrs. old
Kris Richard (Seahawks DB Coach)--Can tell recruits he helped build the "LoB". 35 yrs. old--Very young and bring needed energy to the Defense. Played at USC, so may have ties to Coach O

Neither guy is being mentioned for DC jobs in the NFL, so they would probably jump at an opportunity at LSU

Donnatell from 49ers?

Ken Norton, Jr?

I haven't seen anyone mention Pat Narduzzi (Michigan St. DC). His salary is under 1 million each year. He was in consideration for the head coaching job at UCONN. I would guess with a few good years as DC at LSU, he could get a better HC opportunity than UCONN

That was my exact thoughts and that's what I did. I also realized that Dalton was available and the Bengals play the Jags the week of the Bear's bye.

I would guess that someone would only take Murray or Bernard for AJ Green. I don't think the trade you propose would fly. Just my opinion. AJ is a #1 WR, so I would think it would take a #1 RB to get him

Dropped Shane Graham and picked up Prater. I also need to replace a kicker in another league, because I dropped him to pick up Oliver. I'm going Prater in that league as well
