Everyone likes crawfish until they realize the garbage truck isn't coming for another week.

The boil is over and now the odor is settling in.

Aranda?

And before you say that had nothing to do with Orgeron, you know O would have been crucified had Aranda left.

Recruiting isn't as easy as people think. The state is loaded but you have to give them a reason to want to play at your school. Unless the kid grew up in purple and gold and plays DB, you can't just "lock down the state."


Member when we needed to fire Miles because anybody could recruit LSU and Miles was bringing us to mediocrity?

People thought all you have to do is put a recruiting dynamo in as HC and start counting the championships. So naïve.

"Saban wins because he stacks up all of the talent."

No, Saban wins because all of the best kids want to play for a great coach. The stacking up of recruits is a side effect of his greatness.

The great coach part comes first, not selling recruits on a bunch of malarkey and catchphrases.

pretty easy decision for Dave, get paid out of the arse, continue to implement your D with our talent, see your stock continue to rise. Going to texas would have delayed that.

Yes you can. We have before.

Really, when did we lock down the state? Oh you mean when Nick Saban did then Les Miles came in and sold what Nick built giving the kids a reason to stay. It began to crumble years ago. Now what are we selling them to stay? One man was able to step in and convince the state to stay. Les made his career off of Saban locking down Louisiana. Did his best to keep it up, but when the product on the field failed to match, it was over. The delusion you can just lock up the state without winning is plain dumb.

You must be joking? What kid wouldn't want to participate in "Tell the Truth Monday" or rip off his shirt while doing a choreographed Cajun Haka?

ok hold up dumbass...so when it comes to being a head coach we can't include his interim record because as the o haters have said many times "running a program and being interim coach are not the same thing"...but when it comes to recruiting it is different? why? why wouldn't yall say "well his first real recruiting year will be next year when he has had total control of the program"?

Miles at least took the recruits to Texas Do Brasil. A crawfish boil just doesn't seem to have the same ring.

Alleva, LSU and many fans wanted the boil.

Which is why we hired a coach with a losing record to replace Miles.
