Haley's in town

[MikeV73]

I've heard he's kind of a dirty recruiter. I believe he poached a lot of Tennessee commits when Kiffin left Tennessee for USC.

Exactly, he and Kifin immediately began recruiting Tenn commits before they even flew out of Knoxville for California. Dirtbags.

 

[Bevostuntdouble]

Stop and think for a minute. Orgeron agrees to join Les Miles' staff and two weeks later jumps ship to another school?!

How can anyone give any consideration to any rumor that Orgeron is even willing to entertain the thought of leaving LSU?!

Thank you Sir... Took the words right out of my mouth. Hahahaha...

Brick Haley Bio
Brick Haley's impact on the LSU football program can be seen each spring when the NFL Draft takes place. Since taking over at LSU in 2009, Haley has coached nine defensive linemen who have been selected in the NFL Draft, including a pair of first-round picks in defensive tackle Michael Brockers (No. 12 overall in 2012) and defensive end Barkevious Mingo (No. 6 overall in 2013).
 
Ego Ferguson was selected in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears, extending LSU's streak of years with at least one defensive lineman picked in the draft to a nation's best 11 straight. LSU's been so dominate on the defensive front that during the summer of 2014, ESPN.com tabbed LSU as Defensive Line U.
 
Haley, now in his sixth season at LSU, has coached in the NFL while also serving for 13 years in a major college football conference.
 
Under Haley, the Tigers have used depth and talent on the defensive line to wear down opposing offensive linemen. Thus, LSU continued to win the battle in the trenches, a key to success in the rugged SEC.
 
Since 2009, LSU's defensive line has accounted for 98 sacks and forced 39 turnovers, while allowing only 57 rushing touchdowns and holding opponents to 120 yards rushing per game.
 
In 2013, Haley was again tasked with developing young players as the Tigers returned only one starter on the defensive line from the previous season. The Tigers lost three players to the NFL from the 2012 squad – Mingo, Sam Montgomery (third round) and Lavar Edwards (fifth round).
 
Despite losing three NFL Draft picks, Haley and his group responded by putting a unit on the field that featured two All-SEC picks in Anthony Johnson and Ferguson. Danielle Hunter (57 tackles, 8.0 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks) and Jermauria Rasco (56 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 4.0 sacks) shined in their first year as starters at defensive end.
 
In 2012, LSU's defense again ranked among the best in the nation, allowing just 17.5 points per game (12th nationally) along with 101.6 rushing yards (No. 9 nationally) and 307.6 total yards (No. 8 nationally).
 
A year prior during LSU's march to a perfect 13-0 mark during the regular season, it was the defensive line that often set the tone for the Tigers defense as they used their quickness and pass rushing ability to combine for 28.5 sacks and 64 tackles for loss. LSU's defense ranked in the top five in the nation in four categories in 2011 as they allowed just seven rushing TD's all season and held opponents to 10 or fewer points nine times.
 
In 2010, the Tigers had two defensive linemen picked in the NFL Draft – Drake Nevis and Lazarius Levingston - while Al Woods was taken in the draft a year earlier.
 
Under Haley's direction, LSU's defensive front combined for 39 tackles for losses and 15.5 sacks in 2010 after posting 44 tackles for losses and 14 sacks in 2009.
 
Haley joined the Tigers in the spring of 2009 after two years as the defensive line coach with the Chicago Bears.
 
In his two seasons with the Bears, Haley coached a defensive line that helped Chicago rank No. 5 in the league in rushing yards allowed per game in 2008. The Bears finished sixth in the NFL in sacks in 2007 with defensive end Tommie Harris earning a spot in the Pro Bowl.
 
Prior to his stop in the NFL, Haley spent three years as the defensive line coach at Mississippi State from 2004-06. Haley helped improve a Bulldogs defense that finished 41st in the nation in 2006 after finishing 113th a year before his arrival. Under Haley's watch, Bulldogs defensive end Titus Brown developed into an All-SEC Second-Team selection after leading the team and ranking fifth in the conference in sacks in 2006.
 
In 2005, Haley coached the SEC leader in sacks (third in NCAA) and tackles for loss (fourth in NCAA) in Willie Evans, who spent four years in the NFL.
 
Before arriving at Mississippi State, Haley coached linebackers for two years (2002-2003) at Georgia Tech, where he helped the Yellow Jackets to a pair of bowl games. In 2003, he coached an All-ACC First-Team performer after Tech's trio of starting linebackers finished the 2002 season as the team's top-three tacklers.
 
Previously, Haley was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Baylor (1999-2001) after coaching outside linebackers for one season each at Clemson (1998) and Houston (1997). The defensive line coach at Troy State from 1994-96, he was promoted to defensive coordinator following the 1996 campaign before leaving for Houston. Haley coached the defensive line at Austin Peay from 1991-93 after starting his college coaching career as a graduate assistant at Arkansas in 1990. His first coaching job was at Enterprise (Ala.) High School in 1989.
 
The Gadsden, Ala., native played linebacker at Alabama A&M from 1984 88 and was inducted into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005. He received Alabama A&M's Inspiration Award in 1987 and was named football MVP for the 1988 season.
 
Off the field, Haley is involved in raising awareness for autism as he annually hosts a golf tournament each year with all proceeds going to his foundation – Brick Road to Success. He and his wife, Tina, have three sons: Adrian, A.J. and Jeremy.

I would not trust a man like Orgeron any further than I could throw him. Dang sure trust him to lead our young men. You can bet CS can see right throw him.  My friends y'all have a blessed day

 

[BevoBlake]

Say what you want about Coach O but he's highly respected among Collegiate Coaches and the USC team that he was the intermittent coach for really wanted him to be named Head Coach. 

Regardless, I'm all on board with Haley. That was the #1 candidate for me as soon as Rumph left.

 

[Hiphopopotamos]

Different sites are reporting different coaches have been offered the DL coach position.  Both Kevin Patrick of most recently UNT and formerly South Florida and Brick Haley of LSU are being reported to have been offered the job.

Patrick is a good recruiter who pulled in quality recruits during his time at South Florida (including Jason Pierre-Paul).  Patrick took over as DL coach at Univ of North Texas last season - so he has a connection to South Florida and Texas recruiting.  I can see why he might be an attractive candidate for Strong.

Kevin Patrick begins his first season at North Texas as the defensive line coach. Patrick, who spent the last six seasons at South Florida, is one of the nation's top recruiters and has produced three NFL draft picks, including first-rounder Jason Pierre-Paul who was the 15th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.
 
Patrick followed McCarney as the defensive line coach at USF after McCarney went to Florida in 2008. While at South Florida, Patrick developed some of the top defensive lineman in the country. Pierre-Paul was a first-team All-American selection by Pro Football Weekly in 2009.
 
Pierre-Paul was also named first-team all-conference by the BIG EAST coaches, ESPN, Rivals.com and the Sporting News along with second-team honors by Phil Steele.
 
In addition to his work with Pierre Paul, Patrick's defensive line unit included current Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman George Selvie and Houston Texans defensive tackle Terrell McClain. Under Patrick's leadership, Selvie earned All-BIG EAST Second Team honors and was a seventh round draft pick by the St. Louis Rams in 2010.
 
*************
He was a major contributor on the Hurricane team that claimed two National Championships with wins over Nebraska in the 1992 Orange Bowl and over Alabama in the 1990 Sugar Bowl. Patrick also played in the Cotton and Fiesta Bowls during his career.

I was at the highlighted game.  Sadly

 

[shotime73]

i watched that game as well too juan..sadly to say

 

[TheContractor]

He may be a dirty recruiter but poaching kids is not dirty. That's recruiting. It's not pretty but that's the world of recruiting. Illegal benefits is dirty but would not put that past Ed O.

At the same time I would smile Ear to earif he came to Texas. We need stud recruiters and coaches.

[TEXAS FAN]

the article. I just read on horns 24 7 it sounds positive for him

 

[Captain Hookem]

If he's that good I don't understand why he was replaced. Is there a backstory there?

 

[primal defense]

If he's that good I don't understand why he was replaced. Is there a backstory there?

LSU's new DC Kevin Steele was HC at Baylor when Haley was the DC. Steele ended up firing Haley as his DC which didn't make any difference for the following year Baylor fired Steele.

 

[NWAHorn]

I'd hire Ed Orgeron TODAY if he had an interest in the D-line job. Kids love him and bust their ass for him. And he is a helluva recruiter.

I hope CS doesn't feel this way. Orgeron is a quitter. He took over for Lane Kiffin as the intern HC in 2013 and won 6 out of 8 games. Every game USC would win, it was always for the kids. When Haden didn't hire him, instead of working to win USC's Bowl he instead got mad and quit. He didn't care about the kids anymore once he found out he wasn't getting the HC position.  Orgeron announced that he wasn't coach the team in the Bowl game so he could look for HC opportunities and the Trojan's OC Clay Helton had to coach their bowl game.

If Orgeron had acted like a professional who as the intern HC didn't have a right to quit before their Bowl game, he probably would have been hired by someone as a HC instead of having to take a DL position.

Did y'all know he was interviewing with ou too?
