Defensive Coordinator: Lamar Morgan

[ZoomZoom]

It was trust Napier just a few weeks ago. Des is Maggard’s choice. Trust Des, enjoy family while celebrating our Savior’s birth. Des will deliver. Martin hall is closed anyway.

Even if we hired from outside, we wouldn’t have waited 30 days.

I don’t think it has to be posted 30 days.

Would Lamar Morgan be an option?

Who are Lamar Morgan's coaching mentors? What tree do they descend from? We have seen a Ron Roberts lineage tend to work over the years. Don't know much about who he was trained by? Is he considered to be a top candidate for the job?

He worked with Roberts here for two years.

I have no clue if he is a candidate for the job. I just know he was here and I imagine that the only way he would come back is as a DC.

This is accurate
There is NO REQUIREMENT for any sort of “minimum 30 day posting”.
The hire is based on “best qualified” and can be announced immediately after that “best qualified is interviewed and selected by the selection official (who I assume is either Maggard or MD)

You have to remember they are state employees. The vacant jobs have to be listed for 30 days before any hiring can take effect. Also, some people I know are freaking out because Napier is taking our staff. This is the first time we have had a coach move on, and I am sure this is standard procedure. Think of it this way, we brought in good coaches before, and I am optimistic this will help us bring in future coaches.

One of the things I remember about Billy’s first hires is they were all good recruiting coaches who were in particular close to Louisiana and East Texas. He kept stressing about the talent available in a four hour drive. Then he locked down Juluke, a brilliant move.

In the interview with channel 10 Des said he needed 5 position and strength coaches. He had a firm commitment from 4 and the 5th was trying to get free whatever that means. After that the next thing are the support staffing for the position coaches. I’m optimistic he’s going to get it right.

I doubt it with the health of his younger kids.

6 hour radius from Lafayette was the main recruiting blueprint.

Jessie Minter- Vanderbilt ( Baltimore Ravens CB Coach)
Mark D'Onofrio- Houston (Miami U DC 2011-2015)

Can’t say I have a dog in the hunt. Do you think he’s up at the top of the pecking order of candidates? I kinda assumed Neighbors after the bowl game. Lamar and mike played together? Right.
