1984 and 2000

Last time LSU hired a head football coach that another school wanted to poach while they were here - Arnsparger and Saban.

Like you, I am not on the edge of my seat. LSU’s coaching hires have not been stellar. Since 1984, LSU has had only two coaches that someone else wanted to hire after they came here - Saban and Arnsparger. Not a great track record.
Make no mistake, coaching is the differentiator. NIL has leveled the playing field and you have to have good coaching. The days of someone like Jimbo, Les, or Ed raising the hardware are over. Fingers crossed LSU’s butt lands in butter and we hit the mark for the first time in 25 years.
PS - before you bring up Miles, read this:

PS - before you bring up Miles, read this:

But before Miles agreed to take it, he asked Michigan to show him the love, to show him something - anything really - that indicated he would be the next Wolverines' coach. He got silence in return.

That’s true, but I still wish Landry would stop airing his dirty la(u)ndry in public.

As a former Charlottean (2001 - 2024) in finance, I appreciate the itch to relocate and pursue a different profession. We have called Wilmington home since last summer and as dstone12 highlighted, you may want to consider oysters. This company is not too old and would be a good business model to replicate: N. SEA Oyster Co

Agree on both points. If it doesn't work out with Sloan, then it amplifies the point. You need the entirety of the coaching staff to be clicking. Have to break the cycle of having to replace someone who didn't work out vs. someone who left for a better job.

Kelly has struggled to assemble an elite coaching staff. Quality of the athletes has not been the issue. Not sure how how much LSU is paying for coaches hired by Kelly and no longer here, but the early whiffs were costly.

People forget that Jonas won two in a row after Tadej had won the previous two. In addition, Jonas was extremely competitive last year after a punctured lung. UAE made adjustments after the 2023 loss and has closed the gap on VISMA

Recruiting hasn’t been the issue. Its the positional and coordinator coaching they receive when they get here.

It is clear who else is joining him. The NGO money laundering became more difficult, but rest assured he was guaranteed his bag for obstructing appointments and further poisoning the budget bill.
