Ryan Nielsen now STAYING with Saints. Not going to LSU (2 Viewers)

[Gentilly504]

Hey LSU fans, Gregg Williams is available.

 

[football]

We might be seeing him rise even quicker with Dennis Allen getting a HC interview

I like him as an assistant, and position coach, but as a coordinator I am not sure.

 

[Taker597]

No. Neilson was ready to make the jump but got more money and a promotion to Asst Head coach instead. Freeman and his wife wanted to go to ND. They used LSU for slightly more money. LSU offered the bigger contract. But they wanted ND because of their strong catholic ties. Annette, well, rumor is he showed up to the interview in Miss St gear and interviewed horribly. He also wanted full say in his defensive assistants. That means firing people already on staff. That wasn't happening.

Ahhhhh

Maybe SP doesn’t care for LSU defenders to get coached up, then beat us in key games at home? Thinking for a friend

I think he is slated to be the Saints next DC, when or if DA moves on.

Aaron Glenn first in line.

 

[Pkessling]

Aaron Glenn first in line.

Glenn may be heading to Detroit.

 

[JvilleJoe]

Glenn may be heading to Detroit.

He can only go I believe if he is designated a coordinator. I sure would hate to lose him as well, but as I always believe we should be happy when these guys get the opportunity to grow in their careers.

 

[neworleanshoo]

DANG IT. Well so much for that - Glenn is now gone. So yeah, Nielson is now next in line for DC. Important to keep him.

P.S. Will we get compensatory picks for losing Glenn? EDIT Nope, just for GM or Head Coach

My thinking exactly. He could be our next DC.

It’s going to happen again. Something about Louisiana boys playing huge, when they come back home.

 

[MV2]

There ya go, assistant head coach

Now it makes sense

 

[limeyjohn]

To be honest you should never sign a contract you are not prepared to stick by
No one forced him to sign, and no doubt the more clauses there are the more money you make
Sorry LSU fans not sorry

I mean... When teams are fighting over you. You must be in good company.

Not like LSU was going anywhere next season anyways. Aren't they banned from bowl games for this upcoming season?

No, they banned themselves from bowl
participation this season that just ended.
