DBU origins? Was it Corey Raymond?

I was trying to look it up. Who all does Corey Raymond get credit for as far as DBU goes? To me, the best defensive backfield LSU ever had was probably 2010 or 2011 right?
You had, before PP7 left, Him, Mo Claiborne, Tyrann Matheiu, Ron Brooks, Baker? at safety, #26 im drawing a blank on what his name was, and Eric Reid. Was that Corey Raymond? or was he after with like.. Jalen Mills... and Jalen Collins moving forward?

Saban to Bo Pelini to Ron Cooper
Cooper started that Patrick Peterson -> Tyrann Mathieu run but we had great DBs before them too

Look up Hookfin and his teammates/fellow DBs. That's where it really started but without the moniker. They set the gold standard with turnovers, which to me is THE metric with good pass D all around. DB coach was Harbison.

DBU originater is Nick Saban, let’s just be honest. He made guys like Hookfin and Randall Gay into nfl players and recruited Webster, Laron Landry, etc. Ron Cooper and Raymond just continued what he started.

Corey Raymond gets the most credit by the media but honestly Saban started it and Bo Pelini continued it for 3 years then Ron Cooper took it to another level and Raymond kept it going after that.
Rightfully everyone talks about 2010 and 2011 as the best Secondaries we had. But 2003 isn't far behind. Travis Daniels and Corey Webster at outside corner with Randall Gay at nickle and LaRon Landry at Safety. The weakest link of all those teams is Jack Hunt but he still had a solid season as one of the leaders of the team.

The Saban regime
They got the talent level up, coached them guys up and got us known as a stout defensive team (mostly) year-in, year-out. DCs/ staffs after that kept it up (again, mostly) and the accolades flowed.

Cooper started it, Raymond continued it

As others have said, the production started with Saban. Raymond gets a lot of credit b/c he did it for longer than anyone else. Ron Cooper had a short stint here where our DBs were amazing. According to others, it seems that Cooper didn't recruit a lot of those guys, but I don't remember that well enough to state that as a fact. But the phrase DBU became synonymous with LSU while Raymond was here. It may have been used a time or two before that, but when Raymond left LSU was known as DBU nationally.

Has LSU made an official announcement yet on his return?

Have always hated the "DBU" thing. Makes it sound like LSU is some niche upstart. LSU is "Football U." The only thing ever missing was legendary QB play, and now we have that.
Posted on 1/18/24 at 9:27 am to Ebridg3
I agree and have been saying this. Raymond was here for a long time and got a lot of good DBs to LSU and into the NFL, but he wasn't the reason we were DBU, he just continued it.

Ron Cooper established it, and Corey did a great job keeping it going.
Posted on 1/18/24 at 9:44 am to Ebridg3
It was Ron Cooper.

Anyone who says Raymond started DBU is new to LSU football.
Posted on 1/18/24 at 1:38 pm to Ebridg3
Chris Williams, Willie Teal, James Britt and Marcus Quinn. This was probably the best ever.
Posted on 1/18/24 at 2:06 pm to Ebridg3
It was Nick Saban. I'll say it.

I've been reading this argument for over a month on this board. If Raymond wants to shut down these arguments then deliver the goods on both recruiting and what is seen on the field. Your move Corey.

PP7, Corey Webster, and a couple others actually started DBU. They had shirts made that said DBU on the front and Brotherhood on the back
