With Texas A&M and Arkansas losing it seems to confirm what we already knew. He beat really shitty teams, lost to a mediocre team, and didn't score a point against the best team.

Keep in mind this will be O's least talented LSU team.

I thought some of the logic of firing Les midseason meant he could not win those later games they should win and get renewed again?

Didn't hiring an interim coach and not saying he was not a candidate put the admins in the same spot?

Les would have beaten Missouri, Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Texas A&M

None of those teams could stop the run

This may be his most talented team with LF, Adams, Key, Guice, Dupre, etc...

Really don't know what the constant bitching about O is gonna accomplish at this point in time.

The decision was made. He's our coach whether most of us are happy about or not. Let's just support the guy and give him a fair chance.

well, don't fault him for winning his games that were on his schedule. Better than if he lost those games.

Can I fault him for losing the only games on his schedule against real competition?

Coached by the best up and coming coach in the nation.

Not defending O here, but he can't control the level of shittiness of the opponents on the schedule. Sure we lost to Bama, but even with the shutout, we played them better than any team this season. There was also no letdown against Arkansas to follow up the Bama game. We stomped the shite out of all the teams we beat.

At this point, you can't bash O until he gives us a full season. It's not his fault our Administration made the decision to hire him. He immediately canned BDP and retained Arranda. He went out and got a great OC and has, to this point, kept the recruiting class in the top 5 with the possibility to finish top 3.

I'll take a wait and see approach to next season.

We'll just have to see how it plays out. He did a great job retaining Aranda, and hired what appears to be a great OC. I'm not saying I wanted O hired, but it is what it is, and he's the coach now.
