And what exactly does that accomplish? Kiffin says no, LSU is right back where we are now.

Just the opposite. Alleva needs to stay out the OC hire. Coach O is not putting all his eggs in the Kif basket. Be patient.

The fact that we finally got rid of les and cam and we plug O and Kiffin in is really sad.

Yeah the HUGE uptick in offensive production and points would be really sad.

While I'm willing to give O a chance, I understand people who are pissed about the hire and who also don't want Kiffin. But all this waxing nostalgic about Miles and Cam is fricking RIDICULOUS!!! As soon as you insert that crap into your argument you lose the argument.

No way in HELL would I prefer to go back to Miles and Cam over Coach O and whoever the hell he brings in. But it sure does appear that many on this board would. Seems like a bunch of awfully short memories around here.

Naw - That would require Alleva to make a firm decision and stick by it. Ain't gonna happen.

Take a chill pill. Coach O will do what he thinks is right, when he thinks its the right time.

Lol. Check my post history if you think I was "waxing nostalgic" about les and cam.

Maybe I wasn't clear and we are all entitled to our opinions I guess. My point was that finally we get rid of dumb and dumber and have an opportunity to hire coaches as a championship caliper team and we do THIS?

I can probably get behind the coach O hire as some kind of dark horse if I try but IF he wants to tie his success and LSU's to Lane fricking Kiffin??

And those of you who simply look at LK's recent success calling plays for Bama without looking at THE MAN should be ashamed of yourselves. Certainly I don't have to cite examples to support this.

Actually Alleva needs to stay as far away from this hire as possible. I say we send him on a nice African safari for a few weeks.

I'm sure they are overly concerned with the panic that has set in with half the rant. Patience is a virtue and non existent on the internet.

Fair enough, but I'm willing to give him a chance to see if he's finally matured, just like I'm willing to see if Coach O is better now than when at Ole Miss, which I think he will be. I haven't heard of any real issues in his behavior in quite some time. And for the record, I would NOT want Kiffin as head coach. No way! But the beauty is he won't be. He'll be OC and a MUCH better one than we've had since at least Jimbo.

The standards we hold football coaches to ( but not leaders of the free world) is amusing.

Not really. If LK gets a job at anywhere besides LSU he'll be able to stay on and coach thru the playoffs. LSU OC job and he'll get his marching orders.

For all the pro LK people, no news is good news.

O should just go about his search as normal, no deadlines. He should be interviewing other candidates. He may find someone better than Kiffin.

No thank you. Alleva has already stepped in more than enough.
