But, doesn't gaining only 268 yards against Tulane frighten you? If he was a defensive minded coach, I could probably live with it, but as a offensive guru, that is concerning

I'll ask you the same thing I asked the other poster that brought this up. Did you watch any of the game or know anything about the circumstances?

Did Florida State only getting 217 against BC last year scare you? Jimbo is an offensive coach, I would expect that from a defensive coach.

So, when he coaches LSU and we gain 268 yards against a Tulane caliber team we can use the excuse because it's LSU, right?

That would be a concern, but Coach Fisher is not my #1 choice, although I would be happy with him.

I can do it for coach O and several of his team's, I can do it for any coach. However, that is only a problem for you because you don't want Herman. So that will be your talking point.

Go watch the game

Injuries and who won?

Also LSU can win those types of games on talent alone

He's tremendous in scheming x and o versus superior competition

Look what he did vs Aranda and Saban

Then last season versus ranked teams

Look what he did vs FSU and his qb even had an off game

Even this season

Houston isn't that good he's actually made them relevant

He'd be perfect to give Saban nightmares

Especially with similar talent and time to prepare

He is the offensive Aranda

No, couple other points I have are that I don't think he has had enough experience running a big time program. He has been a head coach for less than two full seasons. I see him using the LSU position as a stepping stone.

He got all the credit for beating Alabama with a 3rd string qb

He's who even Kiffin consulted with fir offensive advise

Good because his next step is the NFL and if he is that good then LSU will be great.
Get O and watch him lead LSU to 8 wins, great as a replacement bad as a HC.

Or Jimbo where you will be guaranteed 10 wins a year and a decent bowl game but may not be elite.

Funny how now that he appears to be Texas-bound, suddenly the LSU contingent want to act like he's no good. A month ago people were willing to sell their kidneys to get him to come to LSU.

Not really. If you haven't watched Tulane this season, they have a pretty solid defense (ranked 23rd in total defense) that usually hangs tough until late in the game after their offense continually lets them down.

I didn't see any of the UH-Tulane game so I can't say on the circumstances there, however.

Probably not good since Bobby might have their game plan.

They basically had to play the second half without a QB, and since they were up 28-10 they were trying to get the game over with asap.

ETA: Louisville should destroy them.

558, 59 points against Dave Aranda
