Welcome Frank Wilson to the staff. He will be our running backs coach. Frank Wilson is known as a fiery recruiter and energetic coach. Frank Wilson is also Louisiana-based, and his connections with Louisiana high schools will help maintain the Louisiana pipelines.

People are concerned that LSU is getting a wide receivers coach to be our running backs coach, but before Wilson was a WR coach at Tennessee, he was a RB coach at Ole Miss, so he has RB coaching experience.

It was important that Miles make this hire quickly, because LSU would fall behind in recruiting if he didn't bring in that extra recruiter. The next step is finding a replacement for very-likely-to-be-departed D. J. McCarthy.

So welcome, Frank Wilson. Send him a box of cookies.

Welcome Frank Wilson..

…and Anthony Johnson, and any other 4* and 5* recruit in the SE Louisiana area.

Now onto replacing the OC/QB Coach, WR Coach, and OL Coach. Help me out, did I miss anyone?

Don't forget the TE coach

Not that he’s responsible for
any of the problems this year, but I still want a dedicated QB coach.

CHAD JONES! WOOOO!!!!

Yeah..

but Yanowski (sp?) is integral to this staff. Maybe if we switch him to being another position coach and phase out TE coach altogether.

I do agree, bringing in a coach dedicated solely to the preparation of our QBs would be our next best move.

He's only been here a year

I’m not sure how integral to the staff he is. He has done a good job with D. Peterson this year, so I do give him credit for that, I just subscribe to the school that a dedicated TE coach is less useful than a dedicated QB coach.

He was also..

our recruiting coordinator. I have no problem with phasing out the position of TE coach, but Miles will keep Don on his staff in some function or another.
