:geaux::crystal::helmet: No idea. One thing that could influence him is the fact that, according to the Advocate article I believe, he and his family are very glad to be back in La. His kids are pretty happy at school, etc. Don't really know how big a factor that is, but we'll see. :geauxtige:champs::LSU231:
Just a guess, but I think he'd take the LSU DLine position over Tennessee if he had his choice of both. At this point, he doesn't have the choice. We'll see if that changes.
I've been sitting back, and reading... and thinking. I don't have any inside info to the situation, but it seems to me that if Coach O was being considered at UT as a recruiting coordinator only, I bet LSU could get him in the same capacity with him being a position coach as well. Maybe I'm just being optimistic. I can't fault Ed O for his past, because that is just how a lot of people are in south central Louisiana--where I am from. He's just a good ole' boy. I like his game day intensity a lot. That is something Miles is lacking, and I know that a lot of players actually enjoy his laid back style during games, but I always liked an enthusiastic and energetic coach in games. Will Muschamp, I think, was instrumental in our NC season in 2003. I don't know if this was due to his intensity or Saban's defensive prowess.
That's what I think too. But you can't discount the fact that he and Lane Kiffin have pretty strong ties. That may something to consider. On the flip-side, Orgeron could have some big pull with Bobby Hebert.
I'm sure the ties to Kiffin would be a big draw to Coach O, but I think the staying in Louisiana would be bigger. But again, he doesn't have that choice right now.
