We are at a fork in the road

We are at a fork in the road in regards to this football program. I see deep trouble and despair down one path and hope in the other. I hate seeing Les Mile's tenure end this way, but he had lost the fans and it seems the players. It was time for him to go. However, what is troublesome is that we should have probably done this at the end of last year and gone through a proper search for a replacement. Now we are behind the eight ball and are going to be rushing to find someone to step in.

On one path I see continued mediocrity and despair. I see years of going down the wrong path with the wrong system and the wrong person leading this school's football program.

On the other path I see us heading towards hope and needed change which will bring about another golden era of LSU football.

The thing that NEEDS to happen is for LSU to pick the correct coach. We need someone with experience, but is still young. Someone who still has the fire in their belly. Someone that will adapt and change with the way football is being played today.

My problem is that having Alleva in charge is really giving me heartburn. I don't have confidence in him making the selection and hope that the final decision will not be his to make.

Fingers crossed, say a few words to whatever you believe, and hope that LSU can coral someone that can lead us on the right path.
