The last time we hired a good coach from LSU

Honest question, T. I'm neither pro or anti Canada, but when watching LSU this year, I didn't see much of a difference between their offense last year and this year. Based on what I had heard about Canada coming into the year, I expected a much more dynamic offense. Was he handcuffed by Orgeron?

Read lots about how Orgeron had him cut down the playbook as it confused his own players more than the opposition.

That's what I would have guessed.

With no decent QB and offensive line injuries, I think the rankings are reflective of the Talent available. Canada recruited the freshman, not the starting QB. Their QB of the future played little because he is a true freshman and that is part of their disagreement. As many as 3 true freshmen played on the OL at times this season because of injuries. Those facts don't change Canada's resume anymore than the problems at Florida were similar for Nussmeier this season. Both have outstanding resumes, not saying either are a fit here in Louisiana.

For all the Canada fans out there I just want to remind everyone of Jerry Baldwin.... that dude help foster the destruction of the program just the way that good ole Ray wanted it...I have my reservations about any coach from LSU..... I like Mike Houston of James Madison.... he is only making 375G a year so we got a great shot!

I'm not saying Canada is the man, but this is a pretty ridiculous comparison.

However, I do also like Houston from James Madison.

So? What's Canada got to do with Jerry Baldwin or Ray Authement? By the same logic, the last time we hired a good coach from UNA we had the best stretch of football in school history. So...hire Bobby Wallace?

I want the best guy for the job regardless of where he's coached in the past. If Maggard and co. determine that to be Canada, so be it.

Here is what I learned from the Baldwin hire.

Don't hire a coach that was demoted 3 times at his last school.

[USL1970]

Don't hire a coach that has moved three times in three years, was ranked #72 in scoring offense this year at LSU, and makes 1.5 million per year as OC.

No good in the red zone.

He's not a fit.

Youre myopic

Do you realize the recruiting drop LSU suffered 2 years ago when they botched the Les Miles situation? This was Canada's first year. He had to contend with Coach O... and that is easier said than done. He moved 3 consecutive years before LSU brought him in. But they see him being worth mega OC money. What do you think made LSU rebound after the Troy loss... Orgeron's great offensive mind?
