If they promote from within, and the guy was already on staff when they hired Canada, Coach O is definitely on the hotseat. That means he failed with his first major hire, and that’s rarely a good sign. Especially if the AD is pulling the string on staff moves.
What might be interesting, though, is if Coach O wanted the guy he’s about to promote and was forced to hire Canada? Either way, this next season is huge for LSU. Hopefully, we get them off to a bad start!
I wonder if Aranda sees the iceberg coming, and jumps to Texas A&M or Alabama?
I also know folks hate the guy, but I think Lane Kiffin would be the perfect fit for LSU if he has repeat success with FAU and the wheels fall off at LSU, as expected, this season.
IMO, this is also a lesson for Cane fans wanting a fantasy draft coaching staff. Chemistry and trust matter more than folks want to give credit. And that’s why hiring a random OC was/is never going to be CMR’s style at Miami.
