There is no reason to can him this early. There is a time to fire him to get out ahead of other teams that are looking for coaches. But Oct1 isn’t it. Maybe a month from now, at the earliest

I think you’d probably wait until the bye week

getting out in front is overrated anyway...the job doesn't have to be officially open for you to put out feelers. Everyone can see the writing on the wall.
I'd like to see him fired early just cause though

Agreed.
He's currently 3-2 (1-1). Looking at the rest of the schedule I think we can agree Alabama is the only team left against whom it looks like LSU has no shot. While maybe unlikely, if the team finishes 8-4 with some signs of improvement along the way then you could make the argument of wanting to see how the staff can perform with a year of experience under their belt. Plus, you'd be returning a solid group of experienced juniors and some sophomore who have shown flashes already.
Is that where the program should be 5 years into Ed's tenure and two years after a dominant 2019? One would think not. But (assuming LSU could recruit well again) 2022 could be his third straight top 5 class and the plague of James Cregg and his horrible recruiting has at least been removed. Given that it would be expensive to turn over the HC and staff....again...LSU might be willing to give O a "make or break" 2022 season
Les was stubborn. The glaring issues where there and he refused to try to fix them. O isn't stubborn. It's just that he doesn't quite know what he is looking for. One mindset at least gives you a CHANCE of improving while the other doesn't.
By the end of Oct. we will know where things stand. If LSU goes 0-4 or 1-3 vs. Auburn, Kentucky, Florida and Ole Miss, then it will be clear the program has given up on O and it is time to move on. If Auburn is the only loss of the 4, then we'll see what November brings.

Honestly this is a good point. If the LSU job is officially open, everyone else is ping to go into overdrive behind the scenes in locking up the quality candidates. Woody is no doubt already working on this quietly so that we are ready to go when he pulls the trigger. Only thing that worries me is the amount of money he’s going to force LSU to fork over. For the right guy, it’s great. For a Jimbo type of hire, not so much.
