re: To All Those Saying LSU Isn't A Destination Job

LSU just isn't up there with bama, Texas, Notre Dame, Florida, FSU, USC, etc.

You fricking idiot, in all those links posted, we ARE up there with all those teams. We're not the #25 coaching destination in the country. Every ranking has us anywhere from #4-#9

fricking loser.

It's people like you that are the problem, the laying down and taking an arse whipping by Troy, and this shite sandwich of a hire saying "well that's just the way it is."

The 90's was gone a long time ago bro, keep it there and let's fricking get somebody that can win us a fricking championship or 20.

Soooooo where were all those coaches calling their agents to try and get an interview with Alleva?

Want to know how we got Saban? He called his agent and his agent contacted LSU. Saban was not one of the original coaches on LSU's radar screen in December 1999.

I don't think anyone sincerely thinks LSU isn't a destination job generally speaking.

However, our President and AD are clusterfricks who have guaranteed LSU a very hard go for the next 3 years. It all starts at the top and right now those two are a major hindrance to LSU's success.

Arguably the best post I've seen on here since the game ended.

I am not even going to bother arguing with someone who says LSU isn't a destination job. You can't argue with a retarded person, it is a waste of time.

I keep harping on this, today, the Wall Street Journal article of September 21 listed LSU as the #5 largest athletic program in the nation, with an overall "value" $910,000,000.00 behind only Alabama at #4, Texas, Oklahoma and Ohio State at #1. The top three worth over $1,000,000,000.00

It's a destination job, and a huge corporation that's being run quite poorly now. When the #5 program gets beat in its own house to a Sun Belt team, and the stadium clears out by halftime, even when winning, something is wrong.

Nevermind.

People saying it's not a destination job are just trying to convince us to settle for Ed Orgeron. The fact is, whether we are a destination job or not, it's NEVER OK to settle for Ed Orgeron. EVER! He's not good enough for ANY head coaching job.

"...They think because it's LSU, it's the best there is. They better get out around the country and see what's going on."

So why weren't top successful coaches from around the country flooding LSU with their resumes, and calling, and going to the press about how they couldn't wait to be considered for the honor of coaching LSU instead of whatever school they currently coached? Why did the coaches approached turn LSU down, and why did O get hired if it is such a prestige top destination job recognized as such far and wide?

I think maybe you are a poster boy for being unaware of the situation of coaches around the country. No one who is wildly successful is leaving a top job to come to LSU. Alabama? USC? Notre Dame? maybe ... LSU? No. I suggest you... "better get out around the country and see what's going on."

PS: this doesn't mean that LSU is an unattractive job... just that the program isn't going to get an Urban Myers to come here... period. Better look for an up-and-coming young coach from an also-ran power 5 conference team.
