The source intimated that other SEC programs have gotten wind of the meeting and could capitalize on the boycott, most notably Alabama. St. Augustine alum Burton Burns recruits the New Orleans region for Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide.
This happens all the time. Every school tries to minimize staff changes until after signing day. Am I missing something? Is it because he's black?
This is one of the most insanely overblown stories I can recall. These high school coaches are upset because Orgeron canned their buddy, not because he fired a black guy. They can pretend it's about race, but they know full well it's not.
No matter why their mad, if they shut out Coach O from their high schools program it will be big time.
But they won't. This is a public way of complaining that their designated fluffer was let go. He was the one stroking their egos, taking them out to dinner, and (let's be honest) lining their pockets. They want to believe that the gravy train will continue.
LSU will assign someone else to do the job, but these coaches are going to publicly whine until they are satisfied that they'll still be feeling the love.

So, high school coaches can dictate where a student athlete attends college? Interesting.
Not exactly, but think about this.
You're a high school kid in Louisiana who is very interested in LSU, however, you've never actually met the coaching staff because they aren't allowed at your school. Meanwhile Nick Saban, who you have met, is dropping a $100,000 Cadillac SUV at your feet. Where are you going to be inclined to go?
