This. Especially if Canada truly did come for an interview today. I keep coming back to TD to see if any news has broken.

It's tough for coach O right now because he's so unproven as a HC. Big time coaches want to work with proven successful HCs. There is no Ed Orgeron coaching tree and no one knows if he will be a disaster as HC again. Same goes for recruits. He must have a few good years contending for the SEC west right away or things can get bad. This is why you don't hire unproven coaches if you don't have to.

Nah. Let's just assume O stuck his dick in Canada's ear and asked him to say the alphabet backwards. Downhill from there.

I heard Canada gave his terms and Joe told him "You know what, forget about it, we have a guy who wants the job."
Someone whispers something into Joe's ear. Joe get's up and booms "What do you mean Ensminger doesn't want to be OC?!?"

i mean if we're willing to pay 2 million for an oc this shouldn't be an issue.

But that's just me.
I would have had a face to face to let my boss know I was considering the LSU offer before leaving. I would call him after the meeting to let him know the status. No need for another face to face at that time.

I'm sure he did.

But me, I'd have a face to face before and after the decision was made.

Right. But then what's the use of all this money we're reportedly willing to throw at coordinators and position coaches?

I agree.

It seemed strange how public this interview was.

You're right. Unless Aleeva tried lowballing him. I have zero faith in Aleeva.

It is a few hours flight back to Pittsburgh. I wouldn't risk letting the news leak out while I was in the air if I signed a contract.

I'm sure he will see what LSU is offering. Ask for 24hrs to make a decision. See if Pitt can come up in pay to where it's not worth the risk or hassle for an extra 2-300k. Maybe Saban called this morning and said he wants to talk before he decides. Yea we all know he's a a-hole to work for but what would look better on his resume? (National championship)
He'd go there for less money than LSU.

There is absolutely no merit to this besides your opinion.

Nobody knows and this is very likely why it has never been attempted. (Go cheap on the HC, and try and hire the best Coordinators) Not to keep bringing it up, but I would love to know what was written in that binder to make Joe think "Yeah man, that's a brilliant idea"

With everyone on edge waiting for word about the interview...I think it would be funny for someone to make a title thread "Canada excepts LSU offer" click said title with a "made you look" in the message...On second thoughts that wont be funny
