re: For the old-timers...when did Cholly Mac first get on the hot seat?

There have been many areas in which our society has advanced in the last 40 years. Computers. Telecommunications. Race relations. But the moronic attitude of the typical LSU fan who believes that salvation and perfection are just one coaching change (or quarterback change) away has been the same since time immemorial, except when it has gotten worse. I've been an LSU fan since the Dietzel era. McClendon, as the guy who replaced our first national championship coach, was under fire from day 1.
