Local (New Orleans) media says it has confirmed
- Thread starter CAJUNEER
- Start date
LSU loves throwing the media off the trail and then naming someone whose name never surfaced. Remember they had pretty good success going to Michigan State one time. And a great coach could have a rough go competing in California for recruits.
If WVU hires Gibson, they'll need to pair him with a former D1 head coach who can lend support during OJT.
There is nothing in that article or your selected quote above which states that Dana Holgorsen is among the four candidates for the job.
The article says that:
1) Fisher is the leading candidate.
2) Several other candidates have been vetted.
3) Leaders are seeking an offensive minded coach.
4) Holgorsen fits the category of an offensive minded coach.
Nothing... NOT ONE THING in that article says that Holgorsen is in the top 4.
Here's another report from the top talk and sports radio station in New Orleans...
"Reports are that Florida State's Jimbo Fisher remains the top candidate to become the next head coach of the Bayou Bengals."
"I think he's (Orgeron) right there in that second tier of other names you've heard, whether it's (North Carolina) Larry Fedora or (West Virginia) Dana Holgorsen, I think he's right there."

But, Krugs says that RR's team played with a hard edge. Surely his teams at Mechigan out toughed even rita's leathery skin.

First, if you only have two in the top tier then three and four would indeed be in the second tier. Second, who said Holgorsen is in their top four?
WOW. Totally agree and have been saying similar things about the ineptness of Lyons since the day he went public with this news. Also toss in the idiotic decision to only grant assistance coaches ONE year contracts. Talk about ripping the guts out of staff continuity and job security.
Let him go. We have gotten curb stomped by the two teams we have played with heart beats. Those wins are just fluff.
So now you're claiming you misled with your comments? All you have to do now is say bigoted stuff constantly and morons will vote for you as president!
It's great you quoted both posts. It's easy to see I did not say "top 4". If you were misled you were misled by your own assumptions.
Here is what you said .... "4 candidates have gone through an evaluation process for the LSU job. Holgorsen was listed among the four."
Now let me restate what I said in a slightly modified manner .... There is nothing, NOT ONE THING, in that article that tells us that Holgorsen was one of only four candidates to be evaluated.

And I never said Holgorsen was one of only four candidates. I said, "Local (New Orleans) media says it has confirmed 4 candidates have gone through an evaluation process for the LSU job. Holgorsen was listed among the four." I did not say "top four" or "only four." I said just what the report said. The report didn't suggest there weren't others. Neither did I. I just posted what they reported.
Hey, I really don't want to get in the middle of this but after going back and reading the entire thread of this post, Hurdy & coalcountry are the only ones to use the phrase "top 4". No other poster nor any of the articles linked said anything about top 4.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, let's move on as Tom Herman now seems to be in the driver's seat.

I think much of the conversation here can be explain by this: for many appearing right is more important than being right.
Nothing in that article says that Holgorsen is in the top 4 or in the the only 4 to have been evaluated. Cajuneer said that Holgs was in the 4 to have been evaluated according to local NO media. But that article does not say that.
If Cajuneer wants to keep insisting that the article says that Holgorsen was among only 4 candidates at the time of the article to have been evaluated then he will keep saying that. The problem is that the article does not say that. It just doesn't.
Holgorsen may have been in a category of 4 persons evaluated, and he may not have been. But Cajuneer is wrong to say, based on that article that Dana is in the four people evaluated.
The quote from the article that mentions Dana:
The university has vetted several other candidates outside of (1) Fisher, as leaders are seeking an up-and-coming offensive-minded sitting head coach. One of the leaders of that group appears to be Houston’s (2)Tom Herman, who many expect to be Texas’ top choice. Others who fit that category are North Carolina’s (3)Larry Fedora, Virginia Tech’s (4)Justin Fuente, more veteran coaches in Oklahoma State's (5)Mike Gundy and West Virginia’s (6)Dana Holgorsen, and even a defensive-sided coach in Colorado’s (7)Mike MacIntyre.
Now I want to know, based on that paragraph, how Cajuneer can deduce that Holgorsen is among THE FOUR coaches who have been vetted/evaluated. There are, including Fisher, seven (7) coaches listed. And only Fisher and Herman are given anything like top billing.
Here is what Cajuneer said:
4 candidates have gone through an evaluation process for the LSU job. Holgorsen was listed among the four.
Holgorsen's name has been mentioned in connection to LSU and that's about it. Cajuneer exaggerates.

No. I reported exactly what the report said. The article is something I posted in a separate thread which was brought to this thread. I tell you in this thread the report came from a WDSU news broadcast. There was nothing to link. You made an assumption that is neither implicate nor explicit in what I posted. Your assumption was wrong.

A scenario being discussed:
Fisher to LSU
Kiffin to FSU
Herman to Texas
Butch Jones to Houston (discussion in Knoxville)
Tennessee- ?????

If that were the case you'd have to think Orgeron and Strong would get a look.
Apparently, the discussion was he's not comfortable at Tennessee and criticism from fanbase and wants back at Cincy like program.
WTH? Get over yourself. Info was brought to the board for consumption, if interested.
You know .... all you had to say in the first place was that "one" TV station said "blah, blah ......."
When you say "local media" it sounds like local radio, TV, newspapers, blogs, etc. are all reporting a certain story. I went searching. And I found nothing.
I think most everyone who read what I wrote understood it.
Of course... you are committed to thinking this.
Never mind that just about anywhere else "local media" refers to multiple outlets.
