Possible candidates for Cajuns football coaching vacancy

[Ragin4U]

I doubt they hire anyone that doesn't have at least coordinator experience.

[MetryCajun]

Jim Hightower.

He’s a winner, and knows the local area for recruiting like the back of his hand.

Over Bob Stoops? You are nuts.

[zephyr]

But.... He's one of us amirite

Yes.

I talked to a few people I trust who said Canada would be a bad hire. Has trouble connecting with people.

I wonder if those same people told you Ensminger, Orgeron and Jenkins sabaotaged miles so the Rosy Finch Boyz could hoodwink LSU into some BS hire.

LOL no it's some people I trust. I wasn't on the Canada train before talking to them and I'm still not.

Just have to wait a few weeks for Mike Houston to win another national title.

I know a guy who has connections to current staff at LSU and the rumor on Canada is that he’s ridiculously hard to work with. He’s supposedly a massive head case(Remember him and Orgeron were reported to have had a physical altercation this season) and his buyout will be hard to afford. I don’t want to deal with someone like that again.

Bruce Feldman reporting Houston OC Brian Johnson will be in the mix for our opening as well.

while I would love to get rid of him I would not wish Brian Johnson on you guys. Our offense was dreadful this year. Utah had him as their oc and play caller at the age of 26. He had the play calling taken away after 1 year. The next he took a qb job at Mississippi state. Our offense basically has 3 plays, the dive play, screen pass and qb draw. We scored a whopping 17 against the vaunted Tulane defense. We started 3 different quarterbacks none because of injury. Quarterback has to be fast because plays very rarely work as designed. You can do better.

I wonder what we're willing to pay? I'm sure it depends on who it is. But there's got to be some variations on who Maggard wants based on pay and contract terms. As fans, it's like we're looking at the buffet and deciding who we'd choose. Not only does the coach have to be available on "our buffet"... but we have to be willing to pay the check at the end of the line. If I were a candidate, I'd also want to know what my budget is for staff. There's much more to Maggard's work than Ragin Pagin and the talking heads giving him names.

Nick Saban is a head case and hard to work with. We definitely don't need a guy like that.
