    Manny Diaz factor here. He's a hot up and comer. Maybe he's looking for the best path to a power 5 head coaching gig. Coordinators come and go..... it's the business. Hell, even Saban turns them over left and right.

    They hired Steele to a non-coordinator position. We could still get him

    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?

    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.

    Yes we are about to see them basically have a Baylor/Penn State scandal for how they handled the culture of sexual assaults ....steal from children in a cancer hospital....no problem....get caught on FBI tapes making cash offers to recruits..no problem ....cover up repeated sexual assaults....problem... especially in today's Woke society

    Yeah, they're walking it back like a Mfer. It must be worse than we thought down there. I just hope Texas 247 isn't reporting it next.

    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.

    Steele is waiting for Pruitt to get canned so he can get the HC job. He won't even have to backroom politic with boosters for that.

    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

    Steele is a Tennessee Alum - and was on staff with Fulmer in the early 80's under Johnny Majors.
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    Any chance LSU looks at Chris Ash? It seems to maybe make sense to me on paper.
