Relying on great assistant coaches is a recipe for disaster

We keep hearing from the pro Coach O crowd, "We'll keep Aranda, get Kiffin (or some other good OC), then we're off to the races!!! Dream team!"
The problem with this thought process is assuming these great assistant coaches stick around for the long term. Assistant coaches don't build programs and long term success.
-Saban loses his DC and they don't miss a beat.
-Meyer loses his OC and they're back in the title hunt
Great head coaches sustain long term success. Not assistants.
What happens when Coach O loses Aranda? And Kiffin (If we even get him)?

Everyone knows this, including the LSU admins. They chose to risk it, it is what it is.

We've been doing it for the past 12 fricking years

I don't think LSU will ever have trouble attracting top assistants due to high salaries and fertile recruiting ground in state.

The presser reminded me of Trump in a way. "I'll surround myself with the best". Was very odd.

I heard that about head coaches too.

So a HC just goes out and hires crappy coaches ?? A good HC will go out and hire the best assistants that he can and let them coach

Uh, you mean Cam Cameron, Kevin Steele, BDP, Gary Crowton, etc?
Those are the greats that have lead us to the promised land?

Saban relies on the mighty Kiffin bro.....he's not an offensive mind.....
doomsday prophet

would you rather a more high profile head coach that promotes BDP/Mallory to DC and Studrawa/Cameron types to OC?
because that wasn't working.

Saban has won National Championships with 5 different OC's. A different coordinator for every single National Championship.

I was trying to explain this in another thread. Saban might not have the title "defensive coordinator" but he damn well coordinates that defense. Same goes for Urban Meyer and Jimbo on offense.
These head coaches build an identity for their team regardless of who's the coordinators.
With Orgeron LSU will be a revolving door of coordinators and will never have a true identity.
We will be steadily switching offensive and defensive styles as the coordinators come in and out. Some doing well and advancing to better jobs and some shitting the bed and getting fired.
With O this will never end.

No
Is that the only other option though?

Shut up....we are tired of hearing it.

No one is forcing you to read the rant all day and night. If people not liking the hire bothers you so much, you should probably go somewheres else on the internet

LSU and Alleva decided to worry about continuity, familiarity, and the short term. Just like with basketball, this will not only be a short term disaster, but will likely destroy everythimg DiNardo and Sabah built at LSU.

Not having great assistant coaches is a recipe for disaster.

right now we're depending on Dave Aranda. If he stays at LSU for 4 or 5 more years and continues to field championship caliber defenses he'll be our next HC.

Both Saban and Miles where middle of the road coaches until
the got use of the La. talent pool.It's to early to pronounce
coach O a failure.The ability to recruit and evaluate talent
in assistants and players will decide the succes of coach O

By finding great assistants they are able to do so
