Dumbest argument given by LSU fans. Bo Rein was an up and coming coach and may or may not have done great things for LSU. It's not LSU's fault that he died in the plane accident. After losing a coach in such tragic circumstances, there was not time to conduct another search so LSU was forced to hire Jerry Stovall.

So the argument that "fans wanted Cholly Mac run off, and the program went to crap after that" is a dumb argument. Even still, in the 8 years following that accident, LSU went to the Orange Bowl, 2 Sugar Bowls, had a top 5 finish in another year, and won 2 SEC Titles. I wouldn't call that bad.

Mac was indeed a classy guy. He was a hell of a lot more faithful to his assistants than they were to him. His assistants took him down. At the end, the BOS offered him an extension if certain assistants were fired, and he refused it.
