Can out recruit anyone
Did a great job as USC
Did a great job at LSU
Has Dave aranda
Possibly Kiffin(could hurt Bama)
This is his dream job
More competent than Les
The best at motivation
Will let his coordinators coach

I'm getting being coach O!


I think this was the best LSU could do considering all things

This is simple psychology. Anyone we hire was always going to be rationalized as "the best decision", because in reality, it's the only decision.

So you convince yourself it's for the best. Prior to the hire, you were operating more objectively. Now, you're deep in your own delusion.

hiring a coach no one else in the entire NCAA Div 1 wanted is never a good decision, ever.


*and LSU did this...not Purdue or Vandy...but LSU (lol)

The only true plus is he is a great recruiter and great motivator. His teams will always play hard and will be more talented than all but 1-2 teams on the schedule.

Y'all are ridiculous. I hope he proves everybody wrong, because at that point LSU is winning and that's what I wanna see. I could care less what coach gets it done

I noticed you didn't mention his head coaching stint at Ole Miss, any reason why?

Agree with everything you said

Plus

Took any leverage away from Herman and Jimbo.

True, Herman and Jimbo were never interested in jobs. LSU was never their first choice. We were only leverage at best.

To me their wasn't another coach that was a sure thing after that

There wasn't any good options to spend big bucks on after Jimbo and Herman imo

We will See - May bring sanctions

not really
Did a great job at LSU
ha ha, yeah, no. Average job at best at LSU
Has Dave aranda Possibly Kiffin(could hurt Bama)
For how long? Then what? Yes LSU sucks again
This is his dream job
wrong
More competent than Les
the man on the corner would be more competent than Miles
The best at motivation
Plenty of other better coaches good at motivating
Will let his coordinators coach
Yes because obviously he can't
I'm getting being coach O!
not me
I think this was the best LSU could do considering all things

Yes Settling for O was the best they could do. That's what's wrong with people now a days. They are so ready and willing to settle. F that we as fans and boosters deserve better.

Remember when O wasn't at LSU and he was pillaging the Louisiana talent? It's a wonder that Les and Nick were able to get anyone from LA to play at LSU while O was on the warpath

No he can't.

No he did not. 10-4 on the year. 5-2 when he was interim. Lost two of three against good opponents. One of those by blowout on his home field.

quote:

Has Dave aranda


Maybe. But maybe not this year, or more than next year.

quote:

This is his dream job


This is bullshite he says when here and irrelevant to how good he will be at the job.

quote:

More competent than Les


No he is not. His history as head coach doesn't remotely compare. O's is frankly terrible and Les has the best winning percentage of any coach in LSU's history.

quote:

The best at motivation


An intangible? bullshite. And apparently not discipline. We already started to see the wheels come off against Florida.

Sounds like you have moved into the "acceptance" stage quickly.
