To paraphrase our AD, the last coaching change he made was because something was broken at UL. This time, nothing is broken. Far from it. So it would be a huge mistake to look outside the program and bring in a completely different person with a completely different philosophy. We want to keep a good thing going, which is why it makes sense to hire a guy who intimately knows the process that allowed us to get here in the first place.
Napier recommended him. Maggard hired him. Time will tell how things pan out, but if those two believe in him, I should too.
It might work out, but it just seems like a lazy hire from the outside looking in. I guess you’ll find out in a couple of years.
That’s on ESPN not the conferences. If they wanted ULL in one of “their” bowls, they would have been in one.
Won't take long to travel the "Lincoln Riley Highway" in Oklahoma if this bill passes. If this goes through you will need to be in the correct lane or you will miss it. ROTFLMAO.
Oklahoma senator proposes 'appropriate goodbye' to new USC football coach with Lincoln Riley Highway (espn.com)
I know it probably took a few min to write the bill, but still seems like a waste of time and focus from these government folks.
Changing subjects briefly...
Has there been any more word on Cumbie's new salary or contract? I really like what Kiffin's new incentive-laden contract looks like at Ole Miss.
Anything that wastes a government body's time is a net positive.
They don't write the bills, the lobbyists do.
Agreed. It keeps them from passing trillion dollar black holes.
Did I hear right that Sloan is going to LSU as their QB coach? If true that should be very interesting for them.
That's the word on Twitter and other places. https://twitter.com/PeteThamel/status/1477124818776563719
Sloan, 35, served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Louisiana Tech the past two seasons and was on Skip Holtz’s staff starting in 2013. He spent the past seven years as the associate head coach and was named interim coach after Holtz’s firing earlier this year.
Sloan served as a primary recruiter at Louisiana during his tenure, and his familiarity with the state was attractive to LSU. Sloan’s hire helps address the need for local recruiters on Kelly’s staff.
Why would anyone hire a QB coach who wasn’t allowed to coach QB’s the entire time he was at his previous job?
My first thought when I saw this report: If Sloan is successful at LSU it will further expose one weakness of our prior head coach. One of the criticisms of HCSH was that he did not let his assistant coaches do their job. Sure, Sloan will overall have better offensive players at LSU but he will face teams with overall better defenses than he did at Tech.
Joe will be successful at LSU. He was a caged bird under Holtz. If you read his bio you would understand why. Hard work pays off and I wish him the best—he’s a great guy.
