    Living proof that an Auburn Tiger can be cleansed and become a LSU Tiger. Heck, the guy even has a kid named Breaux!

    Could also be a holding position until he lands the coaching job that he wants.

    I would agree if he is wanting to continue coaching. D-line coach at LSU to D-line coach at FAU is not exactly a step up in a career in my opinion.

    My guess is that he realizes his strength is in recruiting, and not coaching, although I remember reading an article about him when we hired him & how passionate he was about coaching...

    I don't know what would be in it for LSU to have him take this position if he's planning on taking another coaching position. It wouldn't make sense from our end.

    But you have to be a coach to be able to recruit now, right? That is why Sam Nader had to move to another AD position and let an assistant coach become recruiting coordinator.

    Yeah, and doesn't he keep running for President, too?

    Hmmm, that's true. Nader still does a lot of the background work for recruiting though, and I'm sure he does stuff for our camps as well.
