I couldn’t find any legitimate reports about Joe Sloan, LSU’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, declining a $2 offer from Texas A&M—or any similarly low-dollar figure. Here’s what well-documented sources actually say:
1. Joe Sloan’s Path at LSU
Sloan joined LSU in January 2022 as the quarterbacks coach under Brian Kelly Following Mike Denbrock’s move to Notre Dame, Sloan was promoted to co-offensive coordinator (main play-caller) for the 2024 season
2. Performance as Offensive Coordinator
In 2024, LSU’s offense under Sloan showed mixed results:
- Threw the ball ~60% of the time—6th-most in the nation
- Ranked about 35th nationwide in yards per play and points per drive
- Strong third-down conversion rate (≈49%, 6th in FBS), but a weak running game and red zone efficiency
Despite some struggles, LSU ended the season 9–4, including a dominant Texas Bowl win and finished strong after early hiccups
3. External Interest
Other sources speculate Sloan is gaining attention for future head coaching roles, especially with his success developing quarterbacks like Jayden Daniels and Garrett NussmeierBut reports are about million-dollar offers, not literally $2.
- No credible news outlets—ESPN, CBS Sports, SI, etc.—have reported such an offer.
- One fan-made rumor spun “$2 million” or “ten million dollars” offers into a clickbait $2 headline—but these are unverified and likely satirica
- Extensive searches turned up no source referencing a $2 offer. This appears to be a misunderstanding or joke that got taken out of context.
Here’s a concise clarification:
- If you meant a higher-dollar offer (e.g., $2 million or more) from Texas A&M or another school, I can dig into credible sources to verify that.
- Or if you’re tracking Sloan’s salary, offers, or future prospects, I can gather relevant info from reputable outlets.
- Alternatively, if you’re interested in a deep dive into his 2024 performance, coaching philosophy, or impact on LSU’s offense, I can certainly craft a long, detailed analysis.
Let me know how you’d like to proceed!
