Football Staff specULation

I think state nepotism laws prohibit that. It's the reason Mike and Steph and J. Kelley and Meredith were co-head coaches.

Ahhhhh, understood. I know other places/states have done it, I did not realize we could not in Louisiana. I know a number of colleges have had father and son or brothers on the same staff.

My understanding is that in cannot be in a supervisory, hire/fire/promote relationship.

I wonder if Maggard had hired Matt D, then Mike as HC, if that could have Ben a loophole.

I don't think so. It would have probably kept Mike from being hired. Matt could work elsewhere in the dept as long as he doesn't report directly or indirectly to Mike.

OC Jake Delhomme
DC Lance Guidry (Current DC at Marshall)

I would sign off on those two guys.

Jake said today on Scott’s show if he’d ever coach it would be QB in the pros. He said he would not want to do all the recruiting stuff. How about Jake as offensive analyst for the Qb position? I bet he’d do it for cheap.

[KajunKrazy]

You said it right here, so just quit. You and I really don’t know a damn thing and the people who know decided he should be and is ready to be the HC here.

As to the conclusion that he would not be the HC at any other D1 University, you don’t know that either and if that is the case, it would be that unlike the decision makers here, the decision makers there would be just like you . . . They would not know. . So give it a break.

Quit what?

As for the bottom statement he even alluded to it a couple of times when he said he doesn’t know what it takes to make other programs successful but he does here. That’s all that matters. (See Scott’s interview and press conference)

Make no mistake I am 100% behind coach des and hope he becomes the winingest coach here in the shortest amount of time.

He'd have to give up his Panther broadcast job....dont see that happening..

Not necessarily, analyst are not allowed on the field or headsets during a game. So they would not need him on the weekend, could be a Monday through Thursday. It’s a watching film and critiquing type position. I’ve seen him work with many QBs at TCHS in the off season. They could send the QBs there during the summer for technique type work. Not sure if NCAA would allow it on campus.

Jake's horse business and Panther radio duties prevent him from having the time to do what people suggest here. His horse racing venture keeps him quite busy.
