I think you're mistaking LSU for a competently run program that seeks to better itself and compete with the best. That's cute.


No, that's why I said that the fans didn't have anything to do with it.

the support of the ignorant masses who love O gave Alleva a ton of leeway to be lazy and make a terrible hire

Who will the ignorant crowd support next once O hangs it up?

Every fan base has ignorant masses though, LSU has been making these types of underwhelming hires for decades. The folks who write the big checks are the biggest problem with LSU athletics.

I wish I could find the threads from before we hired him with all the people saying they didn't want O anywhere near the program

Those folks were not wanting to hire Coach O, and I have a pretty good feeling that those folks are going to have Alleva fired in the not so distant future.

i have thought about doing it

there was a very lively debate about it

since i'm not allowed to have a non-offensive sig image and was threatened by the admins for using it yesterday, i don't think i will b/c management hates when you link old threads to call people out on the rant

I would have said that would be ludicrous. Absolutely impossible turn of events. A P5 program, much less a school with elite potential would never hire Ed O as coach. Never.

So....will his contract be restructured to pay him less since his job responsibilities are reduced? What about his job performance?

What if I told you 700 days ago lsu would hire tom herman? Now remember at that time he had zero HC experience. See how that works

The same Tom Herman that just won the NC by destroying Bama as OC?

I'd say I could see it
