Perception matters. Mario is already fighting it. If WR recruits come out to spring ball after whatever sell job Mario has been giving them and see that many under center snaps from an OC we know none of them have ever heard of it'll be a wrap.

If you thought we had an issue recruiting outside WRs before, wait till they get a look at that offense when they come out to spring practice.

Mario has been chasing Toledo's version of Larry Coker for two offseasons.

Like I said there are names you have chosen not to divulge. You have your reasons. Mario for reasons that defy logic has focused his attention on Candle. A man who has done less with more pretty consistently since Matt Campbell's recruits left the program. So when the head over thinker in...

The update is the same as always. He'll hear a name that he can't or wont divulge and no one really knows what Mario is doing.

It wasn't a question of whether Joe Brady did a good/great job. I don't believe he turned Burrow, Chase and Jefferson into great players just because they weren't great the year before in a scheme that no LSU players thrive in. He had the benefit of working with great players and they created...

No smoke. Just a conversation about what mattered more at LSU in 2019. Brady or the future NFL stars at WR and QB

And that's the point. LSU absolutely sucked on offense. Outdated scheme coupled with poor playcalling. And it went well beyond Ensminger. Who knows what Burrow, Chase, Jefferson and the rest would've been like in 2018 with a competent scheme. But the conversation is like Joe Brady is the only...

An argument can't be used that LSU was playing outdated offensive football for a decade and then say simply throwing Joe Brady in the mix made those players elite. Perhaps they were already really good and being bogged down by a system that no one could thrive in? They weren't the first LSU...

Well thats the point now isn't it. Brady aint special. Talent + competency wins. And when you have supreme talents at WR and QB in college football you've got a shot to do something if your head coach isn't stuck in the past when it comes to offense.

Brady aint coming here just like Johnson isn't. Both want to stay in the NFL. This is about what means more talent or scheme. And just because LSU was in the stone age for over a decade doesn't make Brady special. You telling me the guys Mike Gundy has hired over the years to run his offense...

The same could be said about TVD in 2022 while the year under Lashlee people were talking about a potential first round pick. So is Rhett Lashlee also a "special one" or was he competent and a good player succeeded in his system? So Burrow was in a terrible outdated system in 2018. Was put in a...

What about the decade before Joe Burrow?

LSU only returned 49 scholarship guys from that title team. The QBs were Myles Brennan and Max Johnson. Chase sat out the whole year. It wasn't just Brady's departure. That was a completely new team. Unless Joe Brady is drawing up plays for the Bengals when no one is paying attention, Joe Burrow...

This would involve Mario chasing a coach currently in the San Francisco/Kyle Shanahan pipeline btw. A pipeline that pretty much ***** out future coordinators and HCs. His former DC just got the Texans job who then hired the 49ers Passing Game Coordinator be the new Texans OC. Hankerson is...

It wasn't even a discussion about Brady's exploits. More so the NFL and where they hire OCs from. Brady had to something historic to get an NFL OC job. and once he got back into the NFL he wanted to stay there. Even it means being a QB coach for a few years. That is why all the Brian Johnson...

Charlie Strong was a long-time HC too. Longer than Candle in fact. Was an associate HC on the NFL level. Didn't seem to matter. Lance Guidry was also a HC at McNeese State. So if we're assuming Mario would even listen to a coordinator in that regard he's already covered. As far as how long...

At least he's likely out of a job. His HC got fired.

Which NFL guy with a job are we now gonna fixate on to justify the timeline and try to connect dots?

Of course it was. The path to being an NFL OC is not dropping down to college and working your way back up. You stay as a position coach and either get promoted internally or follow someone who you worked with or know that is getting a HC job. Very few Joe Bradys. He had to set the college...
