Easy surgery. Takes them 5 minutes. By the time you get situated in the waiting room they'll be calling you saying their done.

Both my kids had tubes put in under a year old. Best decision we ever made. Night and day difference post surgery.

Good luck.

Gundy may be our only option if we miss out on Herman and Jimbo

If we don't get Jimbo or Herman, Alleva needs to be fired.

Is Alleva supposed to go and put a gun to their head and force them to come to Baton Rouge?

Don't get me wrong, I would prefer either of them over the next list of candidates. However there are still a dozen coaches out there that can do a better job than Les Miles was doing.

At the end of the day Alleva's job is to hire a better coach than Miles. That will happen. Saying Alleva must hire one of two specific people is pretty short sighted and dumb. There is a world outside of Baton Rouge where circumstances and situations can arise that keep Herman and Fisher away from LSU. Florida state can match the money LSU will throw at Jimbo. UT and Oregon have more money than LSU and can outbid LSU for Herman. Houston is run by a billionaire who has publicly stated that Houston will not be outbid for Herman. How the frick is that Joe Alleva's fault?

The one thing that everyone needs to remember is this: our last three coaches have all done better at LSU than they did at their previous jobs. So whatever coach we do hire, it stands to reason that they will improve here with our resources and recruiting base.

Orgeron looked different during the Arkansas game. I think people took that as news Alleva got "his guy" rather than Alleva simply telling O an outside hire would be made due to the Alabama loss.

I hope we get Jimbo and obviously it's a possibility, but I'm not confident until the ink on the contract dries after what happened last season. Just like 5for5 taught me not to build up my class expectations based on 247 crystal ball predictions

Herman or Jimbo and I am thrilled.

A Fedora-or-Gundy type and I'm calling for Alleva's head.

Not good enough.... Cant settle for an average Big 12 HC, especially if Mullen, an experienced SEC HC is out there...but if this scenario plays out it's a failure all around

Gundy is a much better than "average". He has won 10 games or more in like 5 of the last 7 seasons. Fedora and Holgorsen were OCs under him. The guy can run an exciting offense and he can develop QBs that can actually make plays. I don't think he is a bad choice at all.

By that logic we need to keep coaches who can't get good recruits to come because of the above reason.

It's Alleva's job to land a coach worthy of our great program. As of now, there are only a handful of coaches worthy of coaching here. If he doesn't get one, and the one he gets is a dud, he needs to go. Just like Miles was booted for his bad QB's.

Big 12 is a notch above high school...the no defence conference...All 3 of those coaches would get eaten alive in the SEC

was a joke, maybe not a good one. live and learn



Read it as a satire

Jimbo = Clinton
Herman = Trump
Miles = Obama
LSUTigers9458 = Julian Assange

I do not actually believe LSUTigers9458 fled to Ecuador after dropping leaks on our coaching search, that's ridiculous....

Everyone knows they can still cut off your internet there. He's probably somewhere in Asia.

Question for you guys... does the Louisville game and the blowout worry you with Jimbo. I just don't see elite coaches get blown out often.

I really think Herman would destroy at LSU.

I would not hire Ed O for a second, however I do bet he'd run a great program after learning from his mistakes. He couldn't change the coordinators mid season but with Aranda and a hot name OC, I bet he'd be great. That being said I wouldn't risk my job hiring him. I'd want a name that makes the fans happy so I'm not on the chopping block.
