Spew first, cheer for him later. I’ll say this. If Coach O could win a natty here, BK should be able to do the same. Then we can fire him when he turns 65

Excellent choice. Anyone who thinks this happened in one day is totally disconnected from reality. Woodward did his due diligence with this hire and has hit another home run. LSU will be a much more disciplined team than what we have had and he is the right coach at the right time to bring LSU to dominance each and every year.

Totally agree. He has the midwest class (like a Saban). I think this is a great move

Oh here we go. I see your problem now. You have to throw the race card. Man, your type never ceases to try to turn anything into a racial situation. I guess Florida, USC, & TCU are racists too then as all have hired White Coaches. Go ahead call them racists too. Damn.

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

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!

I’ll take that. He’s proven, now let’s just hope players run to play for him. Maybe get one of the recruits that de-committed from OU.

Love his old school class and he can coach. Hell, the winningest coach in ND history only got 2.7 million a year. Triple it Scott

I prefer winning % and championships over total wins. Anyone who is good but not great can stick around and get the most wins. Rockne, Holtz and Parseghian all have him beat in winning % and championships.

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

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