There are a couple of issues I haven't seen mentioned in all of these interminable discussions. If O WINS OUT, that means a championship. Even if he just comes close, the program will have a few years of momentum to ride, and he is known as a great recruiter, so he wouldn't likely leave a mess if he can't keep it going. That tends to lessen the damage if he earns the job and then fails. Secondly, wasn't it said that Alleva said he would definitely be considered for the permanent job? That can be defined however one wants to, but if he wins out or goes 3-1 with a bowl win, how much more could he be expected to do? It would be hard for Alleva to can him without looking like a liar. (Yes, I do know he's not the most popular or respected AD LSU has ever had.)

Go out and become a head coach at a school that will hire you and prove that you have what it takes to be a great head coach.

Taking over a team that is uber-experienced, has talent mismatches all over the field, and then winning a few games with a coaching staff that another head coach assembled doesn't mean you can be THE man.
