Good read if you are interested.
The more I read about Austin's scheme, the more I would go all in on hiring him. His system is described as pressure heavy. As USM, he blitzed around 40% of the time and used stunts around 30% of the time. He uses both even and odd spacing run fits. His defense is designed to create chaos in the backfield of the offense.
Brian Baker staying at LSU. Also, Lane Kiffin is apparently skipping out on his ESPN PR tour, as they were going to have him on their Gameday show today.

**** that bullshit. We have the stupidest administration in all of football.
It?s mind blowing. Every time Lebby has had to hire a coordinator we?re floated competent names. And settle for literal bottom of the barrel guys. But all these G5 coaches that get P4 jobs each off season immediately fill great staffs out quickly. Make it make sense.
Keenum, hiring a DC with virtually no experience and not giving him mentorship and guardrails, destroyed the program.Quote:

I don’t love this either, but some of yall really just have no clue how things actually worked. Might want to aim more of that vitriol at Madison county.Quote:

The only issue will be who is he bringing with him. That could be an issue. Still frustrating that none of the candidates mentioned bit!!
Arnett is a good DC. Not great but good. He wants to be here. He hated the HC part of the job. I am trying to confirm some stuff with some folks right now about this. I will say that the dynamic is going to be awkward as hell for both Lebby and Arnett. He will be working for the man who replaced him and Lebby will be over the guy he replaced.Quote:

I will say that Ole Miss fans thought he helped them out a lot defensively last year and some wanted him back this year when they were struggling defensively.
I hope the McPhee information is correct. That would be a positive.Quote:

I think it?s more that he inherited some big time players and lived off them. He recruited poorly and didn?t develop talent.Quote:

I don?t blame him for what happened. That?s on Keenum and the boosters that agreed to hiring him as HC.Quote:
