Thread: The last time we hired a good coach from LSU

  1. Default The last time we hired a good coach from LSU

    Coach "Gee" whom they named all mascots after for years, came from LSU.

    No good in the red zone.

    He's not a fit.
    Canada's record....

    Named OC NIU 2011. NIU 2011 MAC Champs.

    Named OC Wisconsin 2012. Wisconsin 2012 BIG10 Champs.

    OC NC State 2013-2015. 3 of the most productive offensive years in history of school.

    Named OC Pitt 2016. Only offensive coach in the 5 finalists for Asst. Coach of the Year award.

    Named OC LSU 2017. Turns completely dysfunctional offense around.

    He's not just an x and o guru. He has a history of QB development (something we need?). At NC State he took a QB that had fizzled out elsewhere and turned him into the QB that is starting for the Colts, Jacoby Brissett. Also, he molds his offense to the talent on the field.

    This would be a Rolls Royce hire.

    They did fine until the interpreter quit.

    He was fired/released by NC State after 2015 season, and has never been a head coach.

    I'm ok if he wants to be OC here, but he will not last long if hired. We deserve better with a proven head coach.

    This year most were complaining about the defense with their hands on their hips, well it could be that way with the offense next year with all his gimmick plays.

    Ensminger was better than Canada at turning the offense around at LSU.

    If it is an LSU guy at UL, I would go with Frank Wilson, but don't think he is a candidate.

    LOL!! Out of whom? We don't know who is on his list, or short list. While I have no problem with Houston, it might be smart to sit tight and see what happens late this week or early next week.

    First of all. Yes, he was let go by NCST for reasons neither you nor I know. I do know it wasn't due to on the field performance. A few days later he got offered the job at Pitt where he became the only OC in the nation to make the final 5 for Assistant Coach of the Year.

    Secondly. This "never been a head coach" business is BS. Hottest, most coveted Head Coach in the country is Scott Frost. Guess what he never was before UCF, a head coach.

    So, you'll take Guidry over Canada? That is absurd.

    Sure. The highest paid OC in the country is a fraud with a bunch of gimmick plays for an offense that for the first time in history won't work because we hired him.

    Got it. Thanks for the heads up.



    If it is an LSU guy at UL, I would go with Frank Wilson, but don't think he is a candidate.
    He's 12-12 at UTSA.

    Coker was 22-26.

    Somebody get a fire extinguisher. That boy is red hot.

    Not to change the subject of whether our next coach should come from LSU or not, but did anyone hear the morning show on ESPN1420? Around the 8:30 hour, their was a guest (past UL athlete, but I did not catch his name, nor his sport.....though I think the commentator, Cody Junot, said he was a running back). They were talking about the foundation that was left by Coach Hud. He said that it all started with Jerry Baldwin, upon which Ricky Bustle built upon before Hud continued to build. He said the next HC will need to leave off where Hud left it.

    I agree that Bustle started it, but what the heck did Baldwin do for the university, except call UL racist? Baldwin was the biggest waste of time and money the university ever spent. If I'm wrong, please excuse me, but what foundation did Baldwin start?

    Hmm, I don't read the USA Today to form my opinions. I talk to people that actually know the man or played in his system. But don't worry, if all else fails I'm sure Tim Rebowe will be there to fill in!
