Would you have been elated or furious?
Personally, my impression of Bill isn't a good one. I would've been unimpressed to say the least. I think Nick made a mistake this time.

LSU fans would complain if we hired Sean Payton and call him a one hit wonder/retread.

It comes down to trust.

People trust Saban, so they don’t overreact.

There isn’t that trust with O. He is so dependent on his coordinators.

He will dominate as Bama's OC and be a head coach again within a year or two.

If he came here, we wouldn't have been elated. We would have said it felt like another Linehan hire.

Exactly. As an has earned his right to be an assertive HC. No one trusts Ed to actually lead a coordinator in the right direction.

it doesn't matter who bama hires.

their system is so rigged right now, you'd have to find a super talented frick up to not have success there. Like even Cam Cameron couldn't frick that up

The vast majority of "fans" on this site would've lost their shite if O hired Bill O'Brien. You would've seen the "another retread", "washed up old guy", etc.

Reality is our fans are stupid and don't know anything about hiring a coaching staff.

They would shite on the hire only because it is who O hired.

Genius move by Saban

Worst hire EVER!!! by O

BoB is fine as an OC. He was overwhelmed as a GM and NFL coach combo.

Not a fan, no

But he'll do fine at Bama because of talent.

remember that nick has more talented players than everyone else

so, he can make up for some of these hires...

but a former NFL head coach isn't a dummy...

Nick Saban is very concerned with TigerProphets opinion. its not like the man has won titles at two schools that add up to like 7 so far.

Must get that from the head coach


Which one? It happened with Dinardo, Saban, Miles, and now O. I can promise you our fans don't know as much as these coaches do about hiring a staff at LSU. We just have a bunch of keyboard quarterbacks on this site.

So are all Head Coaches. If they don't perform, Saban sends them packing.
He knows he has the talent to win.
