And we ended up getting the greatest team in college football history!

For all the laughs and negativity, still have to appreciate him for the 2019 season!

It was a trade for 2019. He brought temporary greatness, but left a complete mess.

Well, we absolutely did.

It ended up working out after assembling the greatest team of all time, but don’t kid yourself.

That was definitely a settle for a program that was continuously battling for the best division in cfb and putting together top 5 recruiting classes regularly.

Say what you want about O, but he gave us the greatest team in college history, so I'll take everything that came with that circus for 2019.

O had so much potential at LSU. He won the Natty and then stopped really giving a shite. He kind of admitted to that. Some guys just don’t have that drive. I’ll always appreciate him for 2019.

I think the toughest loss I ever suffered through as a Tiger was the year after the Natty when Miss. State destroyed us and their mediocre quarterback set a record that Daniels just broke. What a come down from the National Championship to seeing Miss. State receivers running free wide open for touchdowns. We all had dreams that we were going to be the new dynasty and instead we were worse than the Les days.

I always thank Coach O for that year and the one after when I thank him for hiring very good assistant coaches that won us a championship.

I have to give Coach O some credit because he did lead us to a NC. With that being said, however, after that season, he clearly got distracted by a different type of 5-star, which all happened to be petite, blonde and busty!

Really? No doubt 98% of the Power 5 programs would settle for this record

2016 LSU 6–2 4–2 T–2nd (Western) W Citrus
2017 LSU 9–4 6–2 3rd (Western) L Citrus
2018 LSU 10–3 5–3 T–2nd (Western) W Fiesta†
2019 LSU 15–0 8–0 1st (Western) W Peach†,NC
2020 LSU 5–5 5–5 4th (Western)
2021 LSU 6–6 3–5 T–6th (Western) Texas

LSU: 51–20 31–17

Are you an LSU fan? I have and cheered/watched LSU from 1962 until present. I would still take O over the majority of LSU hit and misses. 2019 is still may favorite season.
Wait two more seasons. Sometimes we count wins as losses and losses as wins.
Time, time, good good times, where did they go.
