re: Is Coach O going to "Make LSU Football Great Again!"?

Preach.

No there aren't. He actually seems like a pretty awesome guy and someone I'd love on the staff. However, there are people like me that are concerned about the long-term viability of hiring a coach that has never had any semblance of success running a program and that requires two elite coordinators to be successful. No reason to believe we won't be golden the next couple years with Canada/Aranda running the offense and defense. O's real worth will be determined when those two leave.

All of this. Seriously, with LSU's talent, Aranda on defense and hopefully Canada changing the QB play and system for the better, LSU will be golden the next 2-3 years. The real test becomes after that. These two pretty much fell into his lap. It's really on him to find the next stars to coach both sides.

That's my whole problem with him is that he doesn't lock down one side of the ball. You can't count on one side being always good no matter who the coordinator is.

Yes you are one of those haters. Indeed, you just proved it. By the way, I like Les Miles as a person. However, I never liked Miles as a coach because he never was a good coach from day one. Meanwhile, I can easily see that coach O is infinitely better than Miles ever was. Sure coach O didn't do a very good job previously at Ole Miss, but it wasn't all him, as he inherited a team almost totally devoid of SEC quality players. Nonetheless, he used his time at Ole Miss as a valuable learning lesson and never repeated those same errors he made while at Ole Miss either at USC or at LSU. Hence, none of those errors are even relevant anymore today because they made him a much better person and coach. Not to mention, the players and the recruits love him.

Moreover, Dabo Sweeney never was a coordinator and he just won a national title by defeating Alabama. It takes different skills to be a good head coach and coach O has those skills. Hence, with all due disrespect, your arguments are lame and utterly absurd.
