from Yahoo Sports: LSU is surging to one of their best seasons ever thanks in large part to an offensive explosion the team hasn’t seen in years. As much credit – and Heisman hype – that QB Joe Burrow has received, another person getting a ton of credit for the season is passing game coordinator Joe Brady. The 30-year-old Brady is in his first year with LSU after spending the previous two years with the New Orleans Saints. With how he’s turned LSU from a run-first team into one of college football’s elite offenses, he’s going to get a ton of job offers this offseason. Unless, of course, the Tigers tie him down first. And that appears to be exactly the plan. According to Yahoo! Sports, the Tigers are in talks with Brady about giving him a raise and a contract extension in the days to come. Per the report, LSU is ready to pay him “NFL coordinator market value” which would be upwards of $1.5 million. He is currently on a three-year deal making just over $400,000 per season. A source told Yahoo Sports on Saturday that LSU officials engaged Brady about a raise and contract extension during LSU’s bye week. LSU is prepared to pay Brady NFL coordinator market value – think in the neighborhood of $1.5 million – and could have a deal by the end of the regular season. (Brady makes $400,000 on his current deal.) The source noted the importance of LSU keeping Brady, who has been the season’s breakout coaching star. Per Saturday Down South, such a raise would make Brady the highest-paid non-coordinator in college football. With an SEC championship and national title on the line, it’s easy to see why LSU would shell out the big bucks to keep one of their brightest young minds on staff. But they’d better get it done soon. The better the LSU offense does in the final stretch of games, the higher Brady’s price tag will get. Filed Under: College Football, LSU Reader Interactions A
No, No, No. You got it all wrong. Minger has been saving all these plays for last 40yrs just for 2019. Brady just brings him the diet cokes.
LSU runs a simplified version of the Saints scheme. But it is extremely difficult to defend with an accurate QB and top shelf receivers. They run multiple plays out of the same formations as well as multiple formations that are designed to isolate a specific target on a specific defender. Scouting Saints formations will do nothing to help stop this offense.
