294 Green Bay calls

"…and, they invited me as offensive coordinator, what do you think?"

Augustus pressed Lu Yiqi's shoulders on his shoulders while rubbing his hands, staring at Lu Yiqi with a slightly flashing look in anticipation.

Lu Yiqi put the juice helplessly, turned around and looked at Augustus, "Since you are so looking forward to it, why not just agree."

"Louisiana State is a highly competitive team. Their quarterback Matt Flynn is a player who can calm down. Although he is relatively average in ability and lacks highlights, he is willing to follow the coach's command and keep a modest learning attitude. It's very rare for the quarterback. You know how proud they are a group of guys they are."

With just a few words, Lu Yiqi made a summary, and Augustus couldn't help but laugh.

"If you serve as an offensive coordinator, ground offense will be very tricky, but passing offense can really show off your skills, it depends on what their coaching staff is."

"I suggest you skip the team manager and sit down with their coaching staff for a moment. In addition to head coach Les-Miles, you can look at the quarterback coach, wide receiver coach, offensive front coach and others. Their attitude can remain open, and that's fine."

Augustus nodded repeatedly to express his understanding: he was promoted from a wide receiver coach to an offensive coordinator, and his lack of experience made him need some guidance.

Obviously, no one is more suitable than Lu Yiqi.

"I'm worried about this now, too."

Augustus showed a look of concern.

"Before I came here, I asked, Matt Flynn was preparing to participate in this year's draft, but Louisiana State did not explain the situation, and there was no hint; they told me about the next week's training camp, but they did not invite me."

Actually, this is not uncommon, it just indirectly illustrates the attitude of the coaching staff.

After the initial excitement and excitement, thinking about problems emerge one after another, and worries follow: a new job means a new environment, a new beginning, and new challenges.

"Download step by step." Lu Yiqi spoke to appease Augustus' concerns. "Through this season, they can see your potential as an offensive coordinator, which is a good thing; next, when you stand in the position of an offensive coordinator, you will have higher exposure and more opportunities to show your own abilities. As long as you can perform well, what should come will come."

Augustus let out a long sigh, "That's it. A coach like me who has a unique personality charm can shine wherever he goes."

As he said that, Augustus deliberately raised his chest and slapped heavily, making a thump, and his arrogant expression seemed to be standing on the top of the world.

As a result, he couldn't help coughing because he slapped too hard. His embarrassing appearance made people laugh. He turned around in shame and opened the refrigerator, found the juice, and poured it into his mouth with big mouthfuls, which finally relieved it.

Turning around, before he could wipe off the juice from the corner of his mouth, Augustus threatened Lu Yiqi, "You saw nothing just now!"

Lu Yiqi pursed the corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and walked straight past Augustus, heading towards the living room, as if he really saw nothing.

Augustus followed Lu Yiqi with a whole bottle of juice, "What about you? What about you now? Is there any follow-up news at Stanford? Or are you more inclined to return to Michigan? In terms of competitiveness, Stanford must be better, and private schools are very generous in paying for money; but Michigan can make long-term plans. Do they hope you will take over the head coach position for another two years?"

Regarding work, Lu Yiqi did not hide Augustus from all the information. In fact, deep down, Lu Yiqi felt a little guilty. Whether it was indirect or direct relationship, Augustus' resignation was related to him, and he really hoped that his friends would not lose their jobs.

"This is the planning blueprint, but Mark Dantonio is not a dead person, and his ideas must also be taken into consideration." Lu Yiqi understood that human hearts are not that simple, and they are not marionettes. The man who controls behind them will do whatever they want.

"I thought he liked you." Augustus was slightly surprised.

Lu Yiqi shrugged, "I always follow Coach Shaban and Coach Shulmoore. Dontonio and I don't have much friendship."

When Lu Yiqi was studying at Michigan State University, Dontonio was a second-tier defensive coach; at that time, Lu Yiqi studied with the legendary coach Shaban and had more or less intersections with the coaching staff, but Dontonio was responsible for defending the second-tier defensively, and there was not much overlap between the two.

In 2001, Dontonio left Michigan State University and went around several schools, and in 2007 he returned to Michigan State University as head coach.

If Lu Yiqi returns to his alma mater to serve as an offensive coordinator next season, and the school clearly takes a stance to train Lu Yiqi, hoping that Dontonio will complete the transition and lay a solid foundation for Lu Yiqi's advancement, then what should Dontonio feel?

If you think from the perspective of others, Lu Yiqi will never make wedding dresses for others easily. After all, Dontonio is only fifty-one years old this year, and there are still many years left before retirement.

Augustus then understood and curled his lips, "It would be better to go to Stanford, train for a few years, polish it with your ability, and return to Michigan State as head coach, and Dontonio would not say anything against him. If he had been to his men now, he wouldn't know what he would do."

"There is no need to be so pessimistic..." Lu Yiqi couldn't help laughing.

But before he finished speaking, the landline rang again, interrupting the conversation between the two people, but Lu Yiqi had no intention of answering the answer-

In recent times, many Wildcats fans have called, either complaining, protesting or supporting him. Lu Yiqi has no way to respond to all of them, so he simply does not answer all calls, and then chooses to leave a message, and then responds slowly. In fact, the same reason is the same for turning off the phone without charging immediately.

After a moment of phone rang, it automatically cut into the message machine.

"Hello, this is Noah Lu. Sorry, I'm not at home for the time being or can't answer the phone. Please leave your contact information after the prompt tone and I will reply as soon as possible."

"Beep!"
