    If it brings eaTme to the next level, it's money well invested.

    True, but the football program sustains itself, correct? None of the coaches salaries are funded with state money, so why should it matter?

    Definitely Risk vs Reward, but his defenses are still going to play the same teams that they played here, so if history is any indication, the results against the top tier conference teams that employ run first pro style attacks, will be marginal; especially if he brings his philosophy of 'smaller/quicker defensive lineman' and 'soft zone at the end of a tight game' with with him.

    Big difference, tho - Sumlin has been able to field a QB, where LSU struggles to. With an offense I think Chavis is a damn strong option.

    Yes I am aware that the universe loves to F with us. As I recall, the saints had a D that year and struggled on O.

    I thought you said he had better QBS because texas produces more, but he had to go out of state to find a starter just like Miles could. As usual you're talking out your ass without looking at the facts.

    No. He had nothing to do with the sanctions we have been under. Pete Carroll and Todd McNair get the credit.

    All that I can't argue with. After his temper tantrum and quick departure from USC, he hasn't had more than a sniff despite several job openings. I think he's not HC material but a DC in the SEC would be a great fit. Like I said, even with all his shortcomings, I still like the guy and I think he's got a lot to contribute.
