Would you trade winning NC this year for better long term future?

Say LSU gets on a roll, win out, and wins the SEC ans NC. Then, we keep Coach O because that would be incredibly impressive. Since the Ole Miss debacle 10 years ago he has been on the Tennessee staff, been head coach at USC, coached in the NFL under Sean Payton, and has been on LSU's staff. I'll grant that he's learned some stuff.

Would you be okay with having Coach O and a NC this year and missing out on Herman or Jimbo and being good for years to come? Or, do you think it would be that much of a trade?

If you had to pick a NC now or the possibility of great teams and NC's later, which would it be?

If he wins it this year he is capable of winning it again.

One game - one season at a time.

If he did that with Miles team and LSU didn't hire him no good coach want to be the HC at LSU, it will be a natinal media fiasco.

That isn't what I said.

For the record, even IF Coach O wasn't as good long term as Herman or Fisher would be, I l'd say that we should hire him if he won the NC this year. How can you not?

I was just wondering what the board thought.

Agreed. That is my point.

It seems that some people here are pulling against Coach O's success - or are saying that even if he wins out he still shouldn't get the job. Neither view makes any sense.

I'm all for a great hire and would love Herman or Fisher. But, if Coach O can win out and win the NC, how do you not give him the job?

If I had to choose between winning a NC this year and Coach O over POTENTIALLY winning later with Herman or Fisher, I'd choose winning the NC this year and keeping Coach O, even if he flames out in a few years (not saying he will).


This coaching hire has been all about potential for the future and upside. But, if LSU were to win out, it changes some things regarding what is most important.

I agree. Regardless of who gets to coach us in the future - everyone wants an NC now.

NCs are invaluable. I would never trade a certain, immediate NC for the mere prospect of potential NCS in the future.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Herman is a very long shot at this point.

I'd take O at this point. However, I think it's great that we don't have to make a decision today.
