Honestly, LSU has never been very good at hiring FB coaches.

Joe Dean and Joe alleva where the ad for like 30 of the last 40 years

You think Nick Saban is an idiot?

Did you read that?

1 out of the last 6 still isn’t good. And I think the OP was talking about the last two anyway.

After Saban set LSU up, the leadership settled for Les Miles. Skip screwed that up.

Yes! They are both village idiots.

Broadhead and Emmert were the only visionary leaders at LSU since Huey Long, and pulled the best 2 football hires in that era.

Fortunately Woody seems to be of that mold.

True, but Skip should never been in that role. Emmert had Mitch Barnhardt lined up to replace Joe Dean as AD, but our meddling BOS cock blocked to get Doug Moreau in as AD. Emmert balked, and Skip became the money pinching compromise that led to Pat Henry’s departure.

Once Blanco won the LA gubernatorial election, Emmert bailed to U Dub and 15 years of rudderless leadership at LSU commenced.

...so we should be looking for the next idiot?

New LSU Hot Board:

Dana Holgorsen - Houston
Gus Malzahn - UCF
Hugh Freeze - Liberty
Eliah Drinkwitz - Mizzou

Lane Kiffin - Ole MIss
Dan Mullen - Florida
Chip Kelly - UCLA
Todd Graham - Hawaii

In Les’ defense (I can’t believe I just typed that) he kept LSU very relevant during a period where the best coach in CFB history was living in the same division in the same conference.

Hell, I was probably ready to drop Les by 2012, and I like him even less now. But credit where credit’s due.
