Comment from lsu 247 reporter on Raymond

If we hire Raymond as a DC (heck even as a DB coach), we better have someone else waiting in the wings to take his place. If he has any type of success, or is offered anything he considers better, he's going to bolt. Good guy, but he won't be here long if he comes imo.


Edit: Let me add, though, that the single life may serve as the "Big Joker" in this situation.

Who gives a *** if a coach leaves? You want your coaches to be wanted.

As a DB coach sure, but nothing in his pedigree says he is ready to call defenses, let alone defenses at Miami.

The part that stood out to me was him saying it's tough to play for me. Paul Williams would've never said a bold statement like that. I. Want.
 
Raymond as DC is a joke.

You want to hire an SEC assistant coach to call your defense, rehire Randy--at least you know he can call a defense and likely at a top 10 level. (Not that I'm promoting Shannon, but I'd take Shannon over Raymond as DC any day of the week).

This defense needs an experienced, proven guy, so Richt can focus on Brad Kaaya and our offense.

can't see lsu getting outbid for a top level coach

maybe it will take richt offering raymond a true, legitimate co-DC position with a stud dc with a subsequent path to advance to dc

It's funny...because this is the exact same thing we were saying about Coach Kool...that he could easily take a NFL job, but would be easier to convince with the Co-DC title. Also similar in that both Coach Kool and Raymond has strong rumors out that they wanted to get a crack at DC.
May the best coach win?

Him and Cool as Co-DCs?

Would be a bad plan.

Probably. How about him, and a veteran DC? Let the veteran proven DC call the plays, just throw the Co-DC title on Raymond's name as a way to get him extra $ and get him away from LSU.

I only care who calls the plays, all the titles are bullchit.

Of course they are, but they could be what gets him away from LSU
 
i’m surprised people aren’t upset about Raymond being a possible DC but when a truly elite position coach like Kuligowski was thrown in the mix for that title all **** broke loose

Neither one of them should be our DC. How's that?

Thay is fine as long as he doesn't call plays.

Call him Super Cool Dude and DB coach, who gives a chit? He ain't no Super Cool Dude.
 
LSU chose to hire a guy who gave up 70 points in his last game, instead of promoting Raymond to DC this season.

What makes Raymond ready for a DC job now?

Raymond is a hype beast from the recruiting nerds. Recruiting nerds are on his **** like coke whores gumming their coke dealer out for a bag.
