Lance Thompson
The more I'm reading about going him, the more I want him.
Btw - his daughter is a student at state and works for the football office.

If he is an option... He is gonna have to be paid.. as a LB coach at Auburn last year he made between 450-500k, I'm sure he got a nice bump with the title of Associate Head Coach for Defense at South Carolina recently. I would think an offer would need to be in the 600-750k range.

We need to pay $750-$1mil either way.

$1 mil a year is becoming a trend for SEC coordinators as of late. Strick needs to understand that if he wants to dance with the big boys.

And we won't. We will pay a retread or an "up and comer". I've got no confidence right now in what we are gong to do. Got big openings and our off season is gonna go by what we do in the next few days. Doubt anything happens until convention. In a day or so everyone will be melting bc nothing is announced...kind of like signing day being a month away and the freak out over recruiting.

Has he been a DC anywhere? I know nothing about him except that he is an exceptional recruiter.

At Central Florida about a decade ago.

What was the rift between Saban's daughter and him. I remember she called him out on Twitter . I'm hearing he had fall outs with Saban one year and Smart another year. Just something for someone to look into

If we can get Thompson for $600k-$750k, the ink should already be dry.

He's a defensive minded Tim Brewster.

I don't think it will take that much!
Whistleblower exposes: (FISA), Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, 156 other judges, members of Congress, and Donald J. Trump were targeted by the HAMMER.

This seems to solve all our ( fans ) issues. Pay him.

Think we could get Thompson and hopson as co-DC's? I know many here don't like hopson, but I'd love to have him as our in-state guy and Thompson as our out-of-state guy in recruiting

No..... if Hopson is hired, it should be as a position coach only. Thompson won't share recruiting responsibilities..... just ask Kirby Smart.
-
Then make Hopson safety coach. And pay him for his resume.

There's absolutely no reason for State not to offer 750k or more for the right guy. Want to see a DC stay with us more than one year? Pay a comparable SEC salary!

Pay what the person is worth in the SEC market, I agree, but it won't guarantee they stay more than a year. Guys making over a $1MIL are leaving after a year.

If we want to be a big time program we should be paying our DC very near 1 mil per year. I mean its ridiculous not to if we can pay our HC over 4 mil. Given Mullen is the guru of everything we do offensively, our DC is without question the 2nd most important coach on the staff. Maybe it wouldn't matter and maybe it really isn't a money issue but it seems like for Strick to save a few hundred K in the budget the consequence is having total instability on the leader of our defense. Meanwhile, Bucky is sitting with the same DC he came in with. Stricklin preaches that keeping our coaches will never be a money issue but our actions relative to our assistants don't back that up.
-
I think Mullen should take a pay cut and use that to offset the assistants pay raises. Give him an incentive based pay raise.
Yes I'm kidding but only a little bit.
