LSU is a top 3 job. If they still had Saban they'd be what Alabama has been the last decade.Quote:

Steve seems to think that LSU is the biggest threat remaining. I just can't see O wanting to switch to the 3-3-5. I also don't know how anyone could think going to LSU right now is a smart idea. I mean they have multiple NCAA investigations going on as well as a Title IX investigation. They're going to be hit with LOIC and if the Title IX stuff comes back bad then heads will be rolling in Red Stick.
Who all turned them down?Quote:

Making more money per year is awesome, since the jobs are the same. I have done this too, went up 300% through two moves between 2015 and 2020. Having more money is awesome. More people should try it.Quote:

Hahahahhaaha I know I’m the one who put it out that he was gone but it appears Arnett turned them down and now the same LSU mods that said it was a done deal are saying they didn’t offer. Can you say damage control?
That never seemed like a good fit.Quote:

Does not make any sense to go to LSU now. We were better than them on D in our first year with a young team. Not to mention he is paid well here, and the biggest position of need on defense is ILB, the spot he coaches. Safeties will be much improved with Peters, Dean, and Purvis being a full go.
Also, LSU has a ton of problems heading their way supposedly
Will Muschamp is quite the great defensive mind but I wonder if he wants a DC job right after being fired as HC
Hilarious!Quote:

Why haven't they stole Steele from tenn?Quote:

I'm just speculating, because I don't understand it either.
I think it may have been multiple things. Buyout, pending legal issues but it may just have been a philosophical reason. Ogeron may have been open to running some 3-3-5 but wanting to keep the 4-3 intact as well and Arnett stoood firm and said he wouldn’t agree to that
I think Steele is a Tennessee alum.Quote:

Did LSU get turned down again today by someone else?Quote:
