I think he wants to stay in the NFL but I'd take him in a heartbeat.
Maybe?

I mean, he had one solid season with a fantastic QB, fantastic WRs, surrounded by talent - then bolted for the NFL where he coached for less than two years before being fired.

Five years ago he was a GA. Not a lot of experience there.

Yeah it is becoming clear what was really behind LSU's 2019 was one of the most talented rosters of all time.

Look who he had in the NFL, and the turnaround with Burrow. Burrow was luke warm at LSU his first year, he didn’t shine in that offense he was in, and whatever he did ignited him. I’d say interview him, but the last guy who interviewed well everyone hates.

I get it - it's easy to infer that he has the juice - the Panthers thought so.

But reality is that 2019 team was littered with talent and remember - he wasn't the OC @ LSU.

So he has a whopping 1.5 years of experience as OC - and just got fired.

If CNS wants him, so be it, but I just see a guy who caught lightning in a bottle (see: Ed Orgeron) and got credit for it without anything else to show he's a good / safe bet.

What part of that offense changed? The quarterback and the passing attack. It changed dramatically and the only real change was that he was added to the staff. Obviously he bombed in the NFL, but that is a quarterback league (college has arrived at the same point), and he didn’t have much to work with. So I guess I’m arguing for a neutral stance, because he was totally responsible for the passing game quantum leap at LSU, but he did fail when he was given the whole offense to work with. So who knows.

I get it, but he had one good year.

If you want to hand him the reigns, so be it. I want more proof than that.
