I want to know what MSB thinks about Coach O. I hated the hire. I what the perspective of a non-tiger fan. Is it as bad as I thought it would be? We just got dominated by Troy at home for homecoming.

Think Dooley or John L. Smith. It's that bad.

was a horrendous hire considering the time you guys had to hire a legitimate coach.

What's even worse is the 12 million dollar buyout, I mean what AD would offer that to a failed HC?

For some reason it reminded me of when the 49ers hired Jim Tomsula.....it probably won't end well.

May be a sunk cost. Rip the bandaid off and be done. Probably a lot cheaper than keeping him.

Worse than both of those because he has a 12 million dollar buyout. He was an inarticulate career D-Line coach and recruiting coordinator.

It was obvious that LSU gave up on football for the foreseeable future.

He should always be a position coach. Players love the guy, heck fans do too, but he's not head coach material.

he would hire a great offensive and defensive coordinator much like Dabo had done and let them run the team.

We all laughed.

He has a losing record as a HC, right? That should always be a red flag.

The hire made no fricking sense. There was absolutely no upside there.

Dooley went to a bowl at Tech. John L. won conference titles at Louisville. Way more qualified than 0.

So much confidence generated by our dominating victory over Lamar and Louisville in the bowl game and the retention of Aranda and hiring of Canada...and now we suck and CEO is letting the inmates run the asylum, just no leadership out there it's frustrating.

On 9/2/17 right after Texas lost, when an LSU fan posted this about Herman:

We dodged a bullet by not overpaying that joker of a coach


I responded with this:

Dodged a bullet and proceeded to walk right into the line of a firing AK-47.

I’d say that was a pretty solid assessment that I feel no need to change at the present moment.

He might be bad, but it's hard to judge considering LSU barely has enough OL to field a starting lineup.

that he learned from the past, will hire coordinators and "let them coach"

Even though you bang your sisters and cousins I can't say you're wrong.

I thought it was a good hire.

Etling was a cast off by a low end p5 team.
QB is key.
The oline was thin and unimpressive. The dline was thin.
Nothing has happened that surprises me.

I hope they win a few games.
