in this day in age.... "Money talks and Bullsh t walks"... you think an OC would come here if we offered him a lucrative sum? HC - 1.5 mill a year OC - like Chow or Borges 1 mill = 1 Nick Saban a year ...
Allmost sounds good but..... the DC and OC are usually going to be on par with one another salary wise.......
I am happy with Muschamp... what do we pay him now... we could give it a little boost to put him closer but I still don't think that Solich and Borges would kill our bank seeing as though we were going to offer Nick more and I think these to guys could do as good if not a better job at LSU.
Whatever you guys want to dream is up to you. Frank Solich 58-19 from 1998-2003 Avg. 40 time in the Big 12 1998-2003 = 27.5 Do you know what Marquise Hill would have done to Eric Crouch? Nothing against Solich, but there is no way we bring in a guy like that to install a dying offensive style. There is a perfectly good reason that smaller schools like Georgia Southern run the option - lack of size and talent. LSU is not lacking either...
Right....... and Muschamp (or whoever the DC would be in your scenario) is gonna happily do his job while making drastically less than the OC.
I agree, but Georgia Southern ran this offense against a vaunted SEC defense and got a huge chunk... Option is dieing because people love to watch the p sy West coast stuff and dont like "5 yards and a cloud of dust anymore". I think with a Solich/Borges/Muschamp LSU we would run sh t in the SEC but if you say the option is dead b/c Nebraska ran it into the ground, then you have a right to your opinion... Im not saying it will happen, just think that LSU would do well with it.
If he isn't, I'm sure there is an up and comer that wants to cut teeth in the SEC like Charlie Strong (currently out of a job, and ran a pretty good Defense at USC a couple years ago).
Solich is a proven winner and he has accomplished a great deal in his career - that being said, he doesn't fit at LSU or in the SEC. Also, Solich spent 20 years under Tom Osborne so it's difficult for me to determine exactly what Solich accomplished on his own. Recruiting on behalf of Tom Osborne during the 80's and 90's was not exactly rocket science...
