Every time a new coach is hired....this board bitches..

This board was around when Saban was hired?

You can try to spin this all you want. But LSU fumbled the ball on this hire. I can't wait for his salary to be released. Because then we can finally go after the one person who has screwed LSU time and time again. AD Joe Alleva.

1) This board did not exist when Saban was hired
2) Jonny Jones? Link?
3) How many coaches have we hired with a track record of failure on their resume and they are going from HC -> DC -> Position Coach and not the other way around?

hell, many were complaining when Saban was hired.

So now this is the new spin, and it is bullshite.

First, this board was not in existence when Saban was hired.

Second, most fan sentiment when Saban was hired was guarded optimism. He already had the reputation as an up-and-coming disciplinarian with a definite system. He was basically an unknown quantity with qualities hinting at greatness. He DEFINITELY did not have the decades-long track record of failure that Steele has.

After Saban's first press conference here, most everyone LOVED the hire.

Maybe I should have said "LSU fans bitch". Not sure board was around in 2000. I do however remember people bitching about the hire at the time. I bitched when Johnny Jones was hired. I was wrong.

On paper, we either
A) went cheap
or
B) overpaid for a position coach

That being said, I think we should all R-E-L-A-X and give Steele a chance. It's ridiculous to call it a failure before he coaches a single game.

^^^^^^this^^^^^^^

Watch how the board reacts to Coach O being hired. He'll break that streak.

Bad timing to make your argument. People are actually stoked about Coach O getting hired.

But please, go back to attacking your own fanbase - drama queen.

Why is it that so many people think that just because an individual is in a position of influence or power then that equates to the boss/coach/President/CEO being near-infallible?

Miles and Aleva are public figures who are fit to be criticized in a manner no different from a politician passing a poor piece of legislation objected by their constituents.

Forgive the hyperbole, but am I supposed to just be grateful that any hire was made and accept the decision as though I am a lobotomized member of the proletariat who simply praises whatever the leader does?
