The new Offensive Staff is directly from Joe Brady’s Coaching Tree. Joe Brady recommended them. One was on LSU’s staff last year and now returns.
Freeman’s salary has been tripled. Being LSU’s Defensive Coordinator is a great stepping stone. Review Dave Aranda’s career. LSU is returning talent next year that isn’t matched at other job offers. The recruiting class is top 5 and loaded. Tigers had a really bad COVID year with a lot of opt outs and players they left for the NFL. They were the youngest team in the SEC. They also gained valuable experience and aren’t as far from the top as people would like to believe.
All kind of moot point since Freeman went to ND. Enjoy Corey Kiner though.

Sucks to lose a great coach, but congratulations to him. It is a great step to a head coaching position. I heard an interview with Kelly where he talked about not wanting to change his defensive setup because of the kids they've recruited. It will be interesting to see if Freeman has the flexibility to run "his" defense or if he is going to have to adapt to the current ND style.

2.5mm per year for 4 years. Crazy money.

They'll be fine. Fickell has a lot of control over everything, and he promoted MF after he was let go at Purdue during the Hazell purge. Don't forget TT's final team went in and beat Purdue his final season.Last edited by coach; 01-08-2021, 11:11 PM.

They basically bought a head coach in waiting if it pans out. That money dwarfs what Osu pays their assistants and they pay a lot. I don't know if any Nfl coordinators make that kind of money. The Lsu guys thought he would be wowed with 1.2 or 1.3mm. LOL Right place at right time. For a guys 4 seasons ago coming off a 3-9 season at Purdue and out of a job he caught lightning in a bottle. He owes Fick a big old thank you.

Somebody was talking on the radio about being a stepping stone job at Uc, and i don't think they realize that we lost an assistant coach, not the head coach. 2.5mm annually is a ton for a p5 coordinator to get to go to a p5 head coaching job. I think the D coordinator who just took the Boise job from Oregon is like 1.5mm as a head coach. Osu's top assistant salary is Coombs at 1.4mm for comparison. I think Tom Allen head coach at IU is 2.5mm. He should give thanks to Fick. Time will tell how the interaction impacts each, but he was a guy looking for a job 4 years ago after Hazell was out at Purdue. Four seasons have been very, very good to his career and at the "G5" level. LOL

LSU was offering over $2M. Alas none of this matters because Freeman accepted LSUs offer Friday and then took the ND job. Most think he and his agent used LSU to get a $# out of ND. Crappy move but sun comes up.
Good luck to you guys for basketball and next years football season!
