DC Watch: Vic Koenning - *** It's Koenning's job to accept ***

I still think Nix is the best choice. Nix's defenses are more aggressive and I think his resume of success at USM is more impressive. 2nd best choice is Chavis. Koenning is ok at least it is an upgrade over Mallory/Peveto.

 

It sure has been quiet today, I think it is not going to happen anytime soon and I don't think Vic Koenning is going to get the job. I just haven't seen any national buzz on this at all today.

 

Yeah, I'm kinda wondering too. There may be a deal in place but they want to keep it on wraps for now.

 

I have been so jealous of lefire: this year, because of Nix. It looks like as long as :milesmic: is here, we will have a bend but don't break D. You'd think he'd know by now all we care about is aggressive D. I support him, but it makes me wonder. Is there not anyone in a position of power to make CLM realize this? If we get VK I am sure we will do okay, a good QB and a fundamentally sound D and we probably only lose 2-3 games tops each year. Its just as a fanbase we feed off aggressive D!!

 

Worked for Pelini...got a ring for it.

 

I came across these rankings based on advanced football metrics. The two links below explain them. Way too complex for me, but i thought islstl might like them:

Is anyone else bothered by the idea that a DC in consideration would dangle that he will bring a 5-star recruit with him? On the surface, I do not like that. Yes, I would like to have the player if HE wants to be at LSU, but I don't know that I want a DC who us floating that if he is hired this short-term reward is ours. Sounds like fluff to cover poor substance to me. I am still hoping for Nix or Chavis, personally.

 

I'll go ahead and submit my resume' and only ask for $250,000 for my effort. Hell I couldn't do worse then our current situation has.

 

I think that might have been more of a dig at his previous employer - there seems to be some bitterness there. But even bringing it up seems a bit...I don't know...chippy or something. Sort of bitchy, in a way, regardless of the motivation. Might reveal a slight character issue. Not sure what kind, though.:geaux:
