re: Here's our new reality

If you were the AD here and bungled your legacy and the future of LSU by failing to hire Herman, the man who whipped Saban, Fisher, Stoops, and Petrino, you would be just as big a fool as Alleva is.


If we had hired Herman/Applewhite and reunited him with Aranda, who thinks he is the finest offensive mind in the FBS, this place would be buzzing with energy and hype. Instead we are bottom feeding and full of uncertainty and have recruits leaving rather than fighting to get in.


Herman fit the Bertman model: young, smart, young kids, great family, and for certain he could have built a dynasty to crush and outlast Saban.


Herman on the cost of winning championships: "In order to pay the price, you've got to be willing to invest. Guess what? There's prices for nine-win seasons. There's prices for eight-win seasons and seven-win seasons and six-win seasons. Those prices are a lot easier to pay. And if you're satisfied with going 7-5 and going to the Poulan Weedeater Bowl, you're in the wrong program. We are into building championships here."

My thing is - there were so many people on here that wanted us to give Les "one more chance" at the end of last year. I remember it being the majority and being really frustrated about it. Where are all those people now? Is it just hind sight and now everyone has come to the light?

I'm one of the biggest Miles supporters and even I said keeping him was a mistake. Not because he's a shitty coach, but because you already tried to fire him and then changed your mind. You can't run a program like that. You can't have a locker room wondering if one loss is the end, and it was.

No one to blame here except the clowns running the show. Les has been nothing but class during this whole ordeal.
