re: LSU as a brand is taking a huge beating nationally

You are SO right! How many people here have watched our offense year in and year out be crippled and incapable of pulling their weight on the team? How many people here are sick and tired of watching garbage QB play? This is callous, but it's a white elephant in the room that needs to be dealt with, and dealt with quickly. Can you imagine the reaction if we allowed our current staff to run our program into ground similar to what happened at Texas? Bottom line, we will never make anyone happy. Pending the outcome of a solid hire, this (to me) shows our school's commitment to excellence in our football program. This is a business at the end of the day.
