It never is. The fact that it was made clear that he wasn't fired and that he wasn't ready and that he knew it yet still they bitch, well there you have it. When local coaches have the head coach of the flagship handcuffed it never ends well.
Mickey Joseph hired as WR coach. http://lsu.247sports.com/Article/LSU-football-will-bring-in-Mickey-Joseph-51164216 So that's a start.
Add Mr. T and this thing is a wrap http://lsu.247sports.com/Article/LSU-is-bringing-in-Tommie-Robinson-from-USC-51164252
Just guessing, but it could have been LSU that leaked the story to call them out before the hires were announced. We'll see
With the other guys in place I'm hoping we can keep these coordinators for at least 2 years. If they do their job I pretty much expect HC offers to be coming.
Joseph speaks about LSU job and false boycott rumor. http://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_830a7ae2-ed94-11e6-8a24-8b5060dd96c9.html
Truth is he wasn't treated badly. Whether he was in over his head or CEO just wanted "his" own guy, he could've shit-canned him and he didn't. Put him in a position to not lose benefits or pay until he found another situation. I'd say in the end JJ won. Based on a convo I had last night, JJ definitely feels like he won financially. Boycott was a strong word, but there was an explanation needed. The thing with that New Orleans coaching fraternity is once you're in, you're in. Especially if you're from there. So yeah, they wanted an explanation for what happened. Whether anyone on the outside thinks they deserve one or not, CEO doesn't lose anything by helping them understand the business of college football a lot better. He'd lose a lot more by telling them to kick rocks, which I've seen some in other mediums suggest...
