What I'm hearing about the DC situation makes alot of sense now...

Exactly, when you've got a former HC that interested in being a position coach for someone else over being a coordinator that's definitely a red flag. My only concern with Manny is that while you do as well or better than Collins as a DC he is definitely a step back from Collins as a recruiter IMO.

Are we just now starting to interview candidates? Or is the CL just behind as always?

They are either behind or it's the second interview.

An interview for Diaz is sort of window dressing anyway. Mullen knows Diaz and Diaz knows Mullen. Either Dan wants Manny over the other candidates he is considering or he doesn't. If O and Mullen have a good relationship I'm still surprised he would be interested in a DL position at LSU over a DC position with us unless he just wants to be close to his family (kid at LSU I believe). The one upside is that Manny does at least provide us a LB coach along with being a coordinator.
