I doubt Pelini would leave LSU for Cinci. Its a solid program, but not championship material. Pelini will only leave for a more prominent program.
Michigan State is far from championship material, but he was interested. You have to start somewhere. Most assistant coaches aren't as lucky as a Richt or Stoops. Most have to start at smaller schools.
I think Pelini will stay for the Tigers National Championship year which would make him a greater target as a HC the next year. I hope that JR and Dorsey do the same.
Mich St is in the Big Ten though, and more established than Cinci. I dont see him leaving just yet. If Pelini were to leave, I wonder if Muschamp would consider coming back? Muschamp is tailor made for the athletes at LSU.
I would love to see Pellini stay to help us get that NC next season, but I still think we need a new OC in order to get that national championship. So Fisher leaving would not be a bad thing at all.
all 3 are gone, 2 of 3 almost a guarantee but more than likely all 3. the future success/failure of LSU football will be heavily dependent on these 2 hires.
islstl, you dont think having a new coach at the OC will hurt our chances next year? IMO, I would be worried that the players would have to learn a new system or modified system. I dont think I would want to take that chance, if we had a choice. But Les could take over the play calling duties for a year while the new OC adjusted. What you think?
Well who called the plays at OSU? Is it the current head coach at OSU? Or did Les call the plays? I assume Les is conservative by nature from what I have heard, and definitely by some of the decisions on the field in tough tight situations.
