I think it has something to do with this, because how are you gonna lure someone to come here when the head coach is throwing his other coaches under the bus weither it is desrved or not!
Ellis Johnson. He's getting close to 60. He is a good coach though. bio http://collegefootball.rivals.com/viewcoach.asp?Coach=354
Didn't want to start a new thread, but just read something in Stewart Mandel's weekly mailbag for SI that really stung and just shows how far our defense has fallen: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/stewart_mandel/10/28/mandel.mailbag/2.html
I'd be happy with him. It's obvious he's a good coach by the way that he's taken less talent and made them one of the top Defenses in the SEC. I don't care as much about him being 60 as I would if he was the head coach. He definately impressed me in that USCe game.
Coach O would probably be my #1 choice but you're right about him probably staying put. I think he may end up their DC soon. At training camp he's just full of fire and energy and seems to run the entire defense. I would love to see him in Purple and Gold!LSU!
