quote:

Put it this way: Alleva fired a coach with a 114-34 record (.826 winning percentage) as an SEC head coach to hire a guy with a 15-27 record (.372) as an SEC head coach. He fired a guy who was 64-30 in the league to hire a guy who is 7-23 in the league. He fired a guy for not beating Alabama often enough (Miles was 5-7) to hire a guy who is 0-4 against the Crimson Tide.


quote:

But, hey, at least Alleva has basketball coach Johnny Jones to fall back on as proof he can hire a big winner.


Dont care if Germans. Worth another post. Binders.

and this is why LSU should go scorched earth, and make no bones about it.

Media has been kicking us in the dick for over a year now, and this move only intensifies the rhetoric of an inept administration.

So how do you go scorched earth? by not giving a frick about what they say about you from now on.

Hire Briles = frick you media
Hire both Briles = double frick you media

Look, our reputation as a dumb and stupid cajun fanbase ain't changing any time soon. So now's the time to turn heel and say frick you to everyone else.

When I realized LSU was focusing on three candidates and no mention of any NFL guys I knew it was bad.

Miles wasn't fired because he couldn't beat Alabama. He was fired because LSU started losing to Ole Miss and Arkansas.

And you know what O does? Loses to Florida after LSU had a 3 game winning streak and had won 5 of the last 6 games against them.

And every female sport at LSU will suffer, not to mention the complete vilification that will happen. It would be more embarrassing than hiring O.

Probably not. Baylor's women's teams haven't suffered any. It'd be some ammo to negatively recruit in all sports but it wouldn't hurt, and even if it did neither Briles would be here long anyway.

We sure one of his guys didn't go Mrs Doubtfire to play center for the girls team?

Brittney Griner sure looks like a guy.

You could pick any high school coach within 10 miles of the LSU assembly center that would do a much better job than Johnny Jones. He needs to be fired today, not at the end of season.

I understand statistics and what you posted, on its face, is absurd. Les had LSU in a downward trajectory while others were trending upward. As for O, no one in the modern era wins at Ole Miss unless they are over top with cheating...see Hugh Freeze as Exhibit A. Ole Miss is a shat hole

Yah but honestly who was beating down the door for coach O? That's right no one, and there is plenty of reason why they didn't.

I agree...Joe I AM THE SEARCH Alleva, he entered the deep end, got eaten twice and returned to the shallow end, where O was swimming....rest is history
