Hopefully, Etling will show something in the Spring. IF he does, hope and pray that Miles isn't suffering from "Haslett-Brooks Syndrome" and is not joined at the waste with Harris, like he was with Jefferson..............................
O needs to be Assistant HC and Recruiting Coordinator. Frank Wilson is a very good individual one on one recruiter. Although his classes are highly ranked, they're very unbalanced. Not enough SEC Championship caliber/quality LB's, DL's, OL's and QB's. If some position coaches aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing in regards to recruting, (Chavis, Haley, Ensminger) then it's the responsibility for the RC to identify deficiencies and fix them. FW didn't do that and that's why LSU is short on DL's, LB's, OL's and QB's. By all means keep Frank on the staff, but let O take over as RC.....................
Thanks for this detailed, well articulated write-up. It's very appreciated to read such insight on a coach that most of us do not know much about other than from personal bios and beat writer info. Agree with Shane, stick around, at least thru the LSU-UW game. Also, you are right to recommend not judging someone after their first game - easy to do around here.
Well according to reports O didn't want the position. If accurate it wouldn't be smart or worth asking him, would it?
The SEC had a couple big wins on New Year’s Day, but LSU might have just notched the biggest one of all by reeling in Wisconsin's Dave Aranda to run the Tigers defense. http://www.foxsports.com/college-fo...ive-coordinator-les-miles-kevin-steele-010116
So, if he was player last year, what happened? Why wasn't he hired a year ago? Why did we waste an entire season with that schmuck Steele? I mean seriously, Kevin Steele is about as unproven as anyone we have had, save Mallory and Peveto. And another thing, can you imagine having Herman and Aranda?
