So continues a really interesting trend of coaches from G5 schools taking lower position jobs at P4 schools. They realize the operating model is changing. The gap between P4 and G5 is going to get bigger. So you kind of have to get in the P4 club at closer to entry level then work your way up there. That's different than the CBN model.

Yes, it is interesting, and not a good sign for any school not in the top money making club. Even some of those in P4 are going to get left behind, head coaches of average P5's (UCLA) are taking lower level position jobs at top P5's. It's definitely changing the world of college football.

And that DB role will pay a lot more than our DC does.

You also have power conference head coaches leaving for jobs at more prestigious schools. Look at chip kelly leaving close to 6 mil a year to be OC with Ohio State.

That DB role pays more than our HC.

It’ll be close but unless he gets additional titles he won’t. The previous DB coach made 800k but he was Co-DC. The safeties coach made 600k with the special team coordinator title.

Wonder who Des has on his list of probable DC's. Maybe bring back Patrick Toney? What do ya'll think?

Lamar is going to do great things. Defensive coordinator experience for an FBS school, transitioning to a more specialized role where he can learn some more for a highly storied program. He's going to be a force.

Thanks for being a Ragin' Cajun x2.

Wonder what we do at D Coord now.

I hope he does! I wish him the best; even if he had done great things here, he is probably getting a nice raise.

Something must be coming down the pipe. Agents (i.e. Jimmy Sexton) are probably telling their guys don't be on the wrong side of the imminent split.

Is this sarcasm?

The dude left the co-D coordinator position at Florida to be the safeties coach for an NFL team. He's not leaving that on his own accord to be defensive coordinator over here.

Now maybe if he were offered the head coaching job at UL...

Chad Staggs if he is smart.

Chad Staggs if he is smart.

Two questions arise with Chad Staggs. 1) Staggs is in the running for the HC position at Georgia State after Coach Elliot left earlier this week to join the staff at South Carolina. 2) What exactly has he done as a DC at Georgia State?

He made right at $400k last year as our DC according to USA Today

That's more than I would have thought but you're right, he's likely to get a nice bump at Michigan
