    Orgeron and Wilson for sure, Grimes and Raymond maybe, but IMO the rest can go.

    I wouldn't keep Grimes. This offensive line only performed well against shitty defenses that were severely light.

    O and Wilson, let the rest go. IT all depends on what the new coach wants though, but I can't see not wanting to keep those two if they want to stay.

    Coach O and Raymond. Hoping for WIlson too but I could see him taking a head coach or coordinator gig.

    You think Raymond did a good enough job this season to hang on?

    Grimes needs to go. Runs a much too complicated Zone Blocking scheme that will never work here consistently with the OL's that are recruited. Have to have 5 quick thinking OL's that are all on the same page and that's not happening here with Miles/Grimes. Like urinating in the wind. Go run that Zone Stuff at Ohio State or Brigham Young or Boise State. Not LSU.

    Get Mawae in here and let him use his 15 years of NFL experience to make the OL more effective and efficient.

    BDP. BBQ Buddy Boy. No brainer. Can Sean Patterson coach ST's? Get him in here and he'll bring Shea, whom we desperately need because Franks is FSU/UF bound. (Unless Jimbo comes to LSU)

    Corey Raymond. Good recruiter. Not much of a technical coach. His secondary's constantly look confused and give up massive amounts of yardage. What about getting Ron Cooper back in here?

    Steele. Bargain basement hire. Too early to tell. Doesn't have the athletes yet to implement the scheme he wants to run. Plays way too much zone coverage. LSU athletes can't read and react fast enough to be successful in a lot of Zone. They're having to "Think" too much instead of playing football.

    Orgeron. No problem. He's a definite keeper. Needs time to get his DL's in here.

    Ensminger. We can do better there. How about a coach that actually played TE in college or the Pro's.

    Wilson. A keeper at RB coach, but not as RC. Great individual recruiter, but his classes do not include enough SEC Championship caliber OL's, DL's and QB's. O should takeover as RC.

    Tony Ball. Doesn't appear to be an upgrade over the previous WR coach.

    Cam Cameron. Needs a drop back pro-style pocket passer (Brees, Flacco, Rivers, Mettenberger) to be successful and a non-meddling HC. Not rocket science. Occam's Razor. Recruit a drop back pro-style pocket passer!!!!!

    You should search some of Orgerons quotes when he first got here and how impressed he was with Wilson as RC. Miles and the coordinators have more say in who is recruited and the numbers at each position than Wilson does.

    There are going to be good jobs to be had on this years coaching merry-go-round
    I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Wilson end up at Houston or Memphis
