The list goes on. Your one example doesn't offset the numerous ones that have gone the other way. Sorry bud.

How ridiculous.

quote:

Texas A&M - Slocum

---

Slocum was the hire after they got rid of Jackie Sherrill, who had been one of their most successful coaches ever.

quote:

Alabama - Stallings

---

Stallings was the hire when they ran off Bill Curry a couple of months after he won the SEC title and had them 10-0 and ranked #2 going into the Auburn game.

quote:

---

Tennessee - Fulmer

---

Fulmer was the hire after they got rid of Johnny Majors, who had a successful career.

quote:

Nebraska - Solich

What kind of fricking idiot thinks there is ANY similarity whatsoever between LSU and Nebraska? The recruiting base, conference affiliation, etc. are all completely different. LSU is MUCH more similar to Florida State after getting rid of Bowden than Nebraska after Solich.

The stupid logic that a coach should never be fired because sometimes it doesn't help is just that: stupid logic. MANY schools have seen improvement in their program for years after firing a coach and hiring a new one, including LSU in 1980.
