I also know that I'll mock Alleva relentlessly, because he's a bungling fool who should be mocked and ridiculed. For as long as I'm on this site, I'll laugh at the "IN" .gif, smokescreen references and any future mention of the "insiders."

When did we get a Psych board?

I'm explaining You to You. You can send me a check if you want to, but I'd prefer if you just look up the term "EXPECTANCY SHIFTS" and ponder where your expectations of failure originated (probably Les Miles) and realize that neither Coach O or you are locked into them. I just went through this same scenario with about 500 sweater-vest Republicans suffering from "Trump is destroying the party syndrome". And now these same guys are wondering why they melted down and called their friends names every day for months.

would you like to put money on this? i'm not scared to do so. will your internal fears express themselves aloud and lead you to avoid agreeing to the bet?

Joshie, your fear is diminishing you. Your anxiety is palpable. You are dangerously close to lapsing into SJW-football style territory now. Nothing but entitlement, fear, anxiety, and emotional melt.
Oh Joshie. I hate to see it. You were making such progress. I had such great hope for you.
LSU is gonna wreck shite in 2017. It's gonna wreck you.

LACK OF CONTROL
This is the key in your statement, but not for the fans. For the program
Fisher and Herman wanted Saban/Meyer/Harbaugh control, and Alleva was to petty to agree
He caved because of his fear and anxiety

what are you talking about?
i know what makes football coaches elite. O is not that. it's that simple
i'm not "Scared" of anything. i'm lulzing at the joke that LSU is right now
O could theoretically maintain a stable 3-4 loss program if our budget allows him to always have the top coordinators and he doesn't frick them up (which is possible). O simply does not have the brainpower to make LSU an elite program (esp since we're in the SEC West)

We'll end up with Kiffin and Bama will get Kingsbury.

when you hire executives, you never do anything other than hire the best available person for the job.
You never take a "let's see what happens" approach. It's stupid.

The "elite" coach you covet lost to Navy Memphis and SMU in the last two months. Is that what made him elite? Your opinion that he is elite has not yet been proven, wouldn't you agree? You are speculating, right?

There is ONE school that has the conclusive upper hand on LSU. We aren't "a joke". You are just highly sensitive to what the haters say . We kept a Coach at least a year too long. And nobody wants the gig. And this is what happens. We hire a guy that some like and some don't.

You don't know that. Your assertions and assumptions are not fact.
Your fear-based approach is betraying your rationality.

no being smart as frick and trained under a top 5 all time CFB coach makes him elite. further, he's heavily involved in one side of the ball, detail oriented, and understands the value of recruiting
and Herman is irrelevant. if we can't get Herman we move on to #2. O is about option 75 so there is a huge gap and plenty of candidates to look at
Coach O has never even run a defense before. he has been a head coach before and it was an utter disaster. he has not gotten a sniff from any program since that time. he's never even gotten to run a defense.

We aren't "a joke".
we just hired a coach that Syracuse passed on very recently

our AD threw a temper tantrum like a 15 year old girl b/c he wanted to be lazy and had no developed plan
quote:
And nobody wants the gig
how do we know? our coaching list consisted of 2 guys and a backup plan
tons of coaches between fisher/Herman and O. we have no clue how the 70 or so coaches in that gap would have reacted because Alleva didn't try to find other options or interview anyone. it was Herman, Jimbo, or O. that's it. that's a joke
quote:
You don't know that.
yes i do
he's never been trusted to run a defense b/c he's not capable
he's been a HC before and was historically bad
no program has sniffed him as a HC since b/c of these issues
hell no program has let him even run a defense b/c of these issues

what is fearful about looking at results and actual reality?

Assuming your post is not some sort of psycho-babble troll, I can tell you have never given anyone legal advice or negotiated a large business transaction. LSU fans have every right to be upset not just with the result (Coach O as HC, OC to be named later, Elite DC not nailed down), but with the process - who was contacted, the duration of the negotiations, etc.
I'm not "anxious" or "fearful" because of the hire. I'm simply upset with administration for how unprofessionally it handled the Miles firing mid-season only to hand the job to its DL coach after only a week of negotiations with 2 candidates.
Assuming you are a licensed psychologist, what is your experience regarding how your clients react when they know you are patronizing them?

Joshie, I've discussed Coach O's attributes at length on other threads. And for the record, I was riding for Herman. But I categorically reject the premise that preserving the continuity of this great staff, hiring Kiffin or another great O coordinator, under the leadership of Coach O is the catastrophe you believe it to be.
But I acknowledge your fear and anxiety and hope that you are able to resolve them to your satisfaction. In the meantime, as a friend, I advise you to take a deep breath, consider your humble place in The Universe,and take the mature wait and see approach.
Or melt down like the special little snowflake that apparantly resides within you, raging against reality, imagining horrors that have not yet occurred, and warning others of impending doom if reality does not bend to your delicate sensibilities.
SFP and SJW. Turn back. Embrace reality. Get over yourself. It's not too late.

The problem with CEO is you cant have a head coach that isnt an offensive or defensive genius. That means you constantly have to hire the next big thing on BOTH sides of the ball and when they have success, they leave for their own HC position. Thats creates a revolving door at BOTH coordinating positions and a constant scramble to replace them every 3-4 years. Lots of instability and the players constantly having to learn a new offense/defense.
This concept is both easy to understand and true.

I think that's a valid point. But lots of "geniuses" have failed as well and "program managers" have succeeded. Every situation is a world unto itself.

No doubt but I think there are far fewer long-term successful teams with "program managers". I cant think of any actually. Nearly all long tenured successful HCs have their fingerprints on one side of the ball or the other and as a result are able to maintain either a consistent defense or offense through many coordinator changes over the years. When they are able to get a good coordinator to compliment their strengths on the other side of the ball and haul in a few good recruiting classes then you see them win a bunch of games.
