Can someone let the powers that be at LSU know that it's ok to do it now instead of waiting until the off season?

Completely different situation. Alex Grinch was supposed to be fired by Riley a long time ago. He has never had any success but Riley and him are friends. It took him this long to fire him.

Matt House had a successful defense last year and has only had a bad season with us this year. His fate was sealed during the 3 game stretch of Arkansas, Ole Miss, and Mizzou. But not going to be fired midseason for this one bad season there is zero benefit to this.

Kelly is a sticker for doing things "the way they're supposed to be done". And firing a coach "not for cause" and with 3 games to go isn't that.

Riley isn’t known for having great defenses. He brought Grinch with him from OU.


The same guy who allowed us to drop over 40 points on his defense in half a game.


This was to appease the masses. And I’m sure their defense will immediately improve now that Grinch has been canned.

What positive does LSU gain by firing him now outside of making some of our fans happy? Does the Defense magically get better by promoting someone underneath him? At this point in the season, I honestly don't think so. We don't need to be trying to be like USC .

It would nor hurt us one bit to cut Matt House loose today. It might even help us.
