    He's done a respectable job at LSU. I'm a firm believer in taking opportunities to prove yourself at the next level. If he decides to go, I wish him luck

    He's a great recruiter. He'll be missed.

    Coach Porter is a good coach and a fantastic recruiter. I wish him the best of luck in getting the promotion he deserves but would hate to see him leave. He is a great recruiter and I don't want to see how much a hit we take in recruiting without him, especially in the Houston area.

    If he goes to Memphis, do you think he'll need an offensive coordinator with lots of SEC experience?

    Would be a huge loss to our program but I wish him the best if it plays out as such.

    GREAT recruiter. If he choses to go it would be a huge loss to LSU.

    That being said, I wish Larry Porter the very best should he chose to take the Memphis job.

    From the Monday, Nov. 23rd Commercial Appeal --
    Memphis search down to Larry Porter and Jerry Gray of the Redskins
