Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Several years ago this guy was a "hot commodity" (i.e. young up and coming coach that was a great recruiter too); however, he had a problem* as head coach at Eastern Michigan in 2013 and (kind of) had to start over again. After being fired at Eastern Michigan he has worked his way back up to co-DC/DB

16 names to watch for LSU's open defensive coordinator role
These 16 names could make a good fit for LSU’s next defensive playcaller.

Ron English: Louisville Co-DC/DBs
English helped lead a defense that led the country in red zone scoring rate while also ranking top 15 on third downs. The Cards defense had the right call when it mattered the most in 2023.
Overall, it was a unit that sat top 50 in points/game, yards/game, and yards/play.
He’s a defensive backs coach, too, with SEC experience at Mississippi State and Florida under Dan Mullen.
English is 55 and a veteran coach. As Michigan’s DC in 2006 and 2007, he built top 20 units in back-to-back years. He could be the steady hand LSU needs right now.
Just sayin': Regardless of the issue at Eastern Michigan; he might really be a good candidate for the LSU DC position.

After the bowl game, seems like a solid hire. But maybe the HC wants to hire guys with 2 first names so he's not alone.
