Jimbo was exciting in Nov 2015

He really wasn't, though, is the sad part

But six years later, he's really not

I understand him not being exciting now but he was 100% exciting in 16. As was Herman.

I remember dancing up and down in my living room when the ESPN ticker announced Herman to LSU during the Thanksgiving games. I was so scared they were going to give it to 0 after the UF loss

Exactly. Half a decade late on Jimbo.

Maybe it was just the thought of getting rid of Miles lol

This. Being stuck with Les and his shitty offense for years was absolute torture. The fact that he was this quirky “family man” who would eat grass on the sidelines had the full support of the mouth breathing normies. 2015 was the final straw, and somehow the fricker still kept his job. When he FINALLY got fired the day after the Auburn game I was celebrating like we won a Natty. Finally we had gotten rid of the stubborn stuck in his ways doofus. Too bad a few weeks later we got O.

LSU and Auburn were down last year, and they still couldn’t capitalize and get to Atlanta, even with a fairly navigable schedule.

We don’t want Jimbo.

Prepare for 7-8 years of meh until the buyout gets to a manageable $20m and we inevitably fire him

We don’t know if he went after Franklin. He’s not exactly selling himself very well when having to put up all this money.

Kiffin I’m sure was considered, but his situation has been covered.

Regardless of our opinion of these two, it’s easy to understand why there could be concerns by some for both.

And it’s also easy to sell why lsu is a better job talent wise than what you can get at aTm. So maybe they’re considering that as well.

LOL. It was the winningest decade in program history. LSU was never that good over a 10 year stretch. His 2007 team broke the LSU record for scoring, set by his 2006 team.

Les did great with Sabans players

-complicated/clunky prostyle offense
-10 year guarantee, hands tied
-not worth Top2 money for Top15 results
-small concerns about culture and off-field problems
-when we inevitably do fire him, is it a Florida St repeat of their dumpster fire?
-retirement payday, what motivation would he have to be the hardest-working coach in CFB?
-has already made it to the mountain top, I want someone who hasn’t and is driven everyday to get there
-"It’s the same offense that I’ve ran since 1993 or 1994," Fisher said in 2017. Yes, that’s a direct quote
-we’d be indirectly “saving A&M” from themselves…we WANT Jimbo there and them to be locked into a 10-year guarantee, not giving them an opportunity to hire a better coach to win big with Fisher’s recruits
-he’s not going to relinquish control of the offense because he has schools offering $10m and 10 years, he thinks his offense works

All that said, I’ll be very disappointed at first and then get on board and root for LSU and Jimbo just as I eventually did for O. Fisher does recruit very well and makes good hires and knows how to run a program, which covers for his offense. But I feel very confident in saying we won’t win a national title under Jimbo unless he finally sees the light and hires a modern/competent OC.
