Has any football coach ever taken such a hit in popularity based on one game?

It seems the last half of 05, all of 06, and the first half of 07 every LSU fan was giving him an A+.

I think it has more to do with the entire second half of the season, specifically the last 2 games in which he's allowed 1000 yards of offense.

One game? Try 2nd 1/2 of SC game to now. Spurrier showed everyone else what to do against his D, and it hasnt been corrected.

It is just the mob. If Bo is a huge success at Nebraska, If Les leaves, and if God Forbid we loose three games next years then the rant will have wonderful amnesia and all will declare that LSU should have hired BO and blame it on Skip

Just go back and watch all the arm tackling that has gone on recently.

Watch players taking bad persuit angles and then grabbing at jerseys.

Certainly was evidient in the Arkansas game.

It's been evident to me since LSU played Tulane that:
1. LSU was getting pretty lethargic about scoring in the first half; the offense just didn't jump on it early. 2. LSU's defense wasn't performing at the same high level as the first two games of the season.
3. LSU's offense would come to life in the second half and score what was needed to win.
4. LSU's defense was looking less and less sharp as the season progressed.
5. That the game could come when LSU's offense would come up short -- and, this happened twice -- UK and ARK, with devastating results, and
6. The D would not be a factor in saving the day as in previous years.

Miles is on his way to join him. If we lose this wknd every LSU fan in America will want him to go to UM.
