What, Lou Holtz wasn’t available?

tigerbait1.6•29 months

I’m not mad

UptownnMike•29 months

I’m not mad either. Not my first choice. But he’s solid. Also has young coordinators. Understands youth.

AMac•29 months

What an uninspiring hire.

puffulufogous•29 months

How disappointing.

CanebreakCajun•29 months

Guess you wanted USC boy who clearly wanted nothing to do with SEC hear.

BleedgurpleTX•29 months

Why? He’s done wonderful things at ND with a lot less talent. He’s not charismatic but neither is Saban.

Shooter•29 months

Give the man a chance. With Louisiana talent he’ll get LSU a championship.

Dflynn9687•29 months

I ain't terribly mad about it. I know alot of folks are about to stroke out though.

PRIMO30•29 months

At least it isn’t BoB, thank god

CanebreakCajun•29 months

This is a good hire. He isn’t scared of the SEC like USC boy. We’ll see people.

conman•29 months

Has an excellent resume. I did not see this one coming and applaud him for wanting to coach in the SEC.

stang14•29 months

He can beat Alabama with LSU talent and not embarrass the university like O did after the 2019 Bama game

Louisianarebel15•29 months

One of the most boring hires.

gerkin•29 months

im fine with this. i was expecting someone younger and more upside, but there really isn't any reason to be disappointed with him. he may end up making woodward look like a genius.

CanebreakCajun•29 months

He will.

ByUselves•29 months

So much for the young high energy coach we were going to hire! Oh well, it what it is, so GEAUX TIGERS!

Nix to Twillie•29 months

We were never promised “young, high energy.” A lot of people thought it up on their own and let it become their reality.

PotatoChip•29 months

Well, crap...

VaeVictus•29 months

Wanted Aranda. Oh well.

stang14•29 months

But Arands did not want LSU

Bennie•29 months

Just like we all thought all along

blueboy•29 months

Oh frick you. frick frick frick you.

Tigers4Lyfe•29 months

That's very mature.

ImBatman•29 months

Lmao, relax blueboy, relax!

Jayjoe•29 months

I know many are disappointed because their number one choice didn’t get hired. But let this marinate a few days. This is a good hire. Les and O won championships here. BK will be successful here. Let’s Geaux!

slowburn•29 months

You're welcome ND, you didn't have to do anything to embarrass the university, Kelly left on his own. Many a year you wanted to get rid of the ole fool, and now LSU has saved the day for you.

Filmat11•29 months

Norte Dame’s record the last 5 yrs: 10-3, 12-1, 11-2, 10-2 and this year 11-1. We are really taking a loser off of their hands!

SEC1962•29 months

I hope not! ND results in the playoffs are a joke! The committee puts them in because of their national reach (I get that)… however, even getting in … with top recruits and talent have fallen well short of success against SEC and ACC teams. Coaching could not get ND over the hump. What’s his recruiting pitch at LSU? I used to be the HC at ND? I have taken teams to the playoff; but couldn’t win it?

LSUTheodore•29 months

Notre Dame doesn’t have the resources like LSU does!

CanebreakCajun•29 months

You know jack. 90% of our players couldn’t play at Notre Dame due to academics.

thirdgenerationlsu•29 months

“I have taken teams to the playoffs, but couldn’t win it.” Could also be LR’s pitch as well.

JackieTreehorn•29 months

Coach O please come back
