New UL football coach (wishlist)

[CajunJack55]

Diaz would be interesting.

Hawk just jizzed his pants.

This would be my guy:

Cause I've really like Chad Morris for a long time.

[Frenchie35]

I'd not. Seems 129 other FBS aren't anxious to hire the grass eater. Anyway he's not going back to coaching in the six figure neighborhood.

Did you mean seven figures, are that he wouldn't except six figures?

During his time at lsu he averaged I believe 10 or 11 wins a year. Won a National championship and played for another. Pay him 1 mill a year and get him here.

True...but recruiting to LaSUe and to Louisiana are apples and oranges. It was a much easier sell to recruit the best to go to LaSue. And if he could actually coach, he could have competed and possibly won several national championships with the talent that went to LaSue. Now if he could recruit the same 4 star & 5 star athletes here, again, coaching would not matter as much because the athletes would be by far more dominant than any other teams in the Sunbelt. By talent alone, they would win more than they would lose.

I highly doubt Les Miles could recruit the same type of players here that went to LaSue. Hence, he would be just another Baldwin.

It’s going to be a cold, blue world for some of you if we don’t get another coach. I have trouble seeing UL coughing up the money. Look at the dissatisfaction expressed toward the basketball program and how long he’s been there.

I would say it's already a cold, blue world as far as the football program is concerned. Keep in mind, Farmer was released because he wasn't getting things done to T-Joe's satisfaction (or fans). Dr. Maggard was hired to bring UL in a new direction, time will tell.

No more Baldwins please.....

LOL, I was thinking the same thing.

Les Miles had a good staff most years in Baton Rouge. But Les didn't think twice about recruiting his own group of problem athletes as well. Part of the problem for Coach Orgeron right now is the turnover of some 17 recruits including OL and DL that have left the program this past year plus. A hand full couldn't past random drug test and 3 or 4 others were dismissed after being arrested and others for academics. Those were Les Miles recruits.

Louis Cook?

(Someone had to do it)

Ron Guidry? Sorry, I had to do it...lol

I agree with you. Our next hire needs to create a big splash

No we don't need a splash. It's not about winning the press conference. It's about finding someone who can win.

Head Coach Will Hall. He can be the OC as well just like Leach.

DC Tim Rebowe. We can pay him more than Nicholls. He is a great recruiter and he knows defense.


No need to recreate the wheel or stop the presses. When troy hired Neal Brown they didn't set the world afire with the news, but now people are mentioning Troy as a top G5 program and Brown as the #1 candidate for a couple of upcoming SEC jobs.

When Hud leaves, if Coach Hall hasn't been hired away yet, the promotion to HC is a no brainer.
