Arnett turned LSU down.
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?
If we hold on to him, pretty big offseason win
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
Is Tem Lukabu really on their short list for DC? Did anyone see something when he was coaching here that impressed you?
I think Orgeron is on really thin ice down there, so LSU may be a little gun shy about agreeing to buyouts for coordinators.....and somebody like Steele could possibly command a buyout.
Or it could also be that Orgeron doesn't want him because he knows he's on thin ice and Steele just tried to double cross Malzahn and steal his job.
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
Any chance LSU looks at Chris Ash? It seems to maybe make sense to me on paper.
