re: Coach O's wins looking a lot less impressive

I think it will obviously be at least one full season before we have any idea whether or hiring O as HC was likely to be a good hire.

The first part of next year will offer almost no information. With four creampuffs out of conference and most of the SEC likely in rebuild LSU should start the year at least 4-0 before they face a team that can match up in terms of talent:
